Analysis of Stabilization of Optical Landing Systems against Ship Roll and Pitch "Center Line" System and Plat.

Abstract

A study has been made of the stabilization of the Pilot Landing Aid Television System devised for monitoring carrier aircraft landings, and of the stabilization of a proposed, centerline-located Optical Landing System which might relieve pilots of looking to the side during a critical phase of the approach. Stabilization of the PLAT system is only partial, and tntitative consequence is determined. The centerline-located OLS is shown to have lost its provision for simple accommodation of various H/E values and to be incapable of line-stabilization. However, point stabilization, which is possible, is probably adequate. (Author)
