ANALOG COMPUTER STUDY OF SAFE LOW APPROACH DECISION REGIONS AND EFFECTIVENESS OF GLIDE PATH EXTENSION TECHNIQUES.

Abstract

This report presents the results of analog computer studies of the following three aspects of ILS - based allweather landing systems; a. determination of minimum manual go-around altitudes under various conditions of winds and available thrust. b. determination of the range of initial aircraft positions and velocities from which a pilot can make a safe landing after completing a low approach. c. evaluation of four glide slope extension techniques to discover if the employment of these techniques permits a relaxation of the tolerable course path bend amplitudes of the ILS signals as determined in phase I of this study. These studies were performed for the Boeing 707/320B and Caravelle series 10-R aircraft. (Author)
