WEATHER EFFECTS ON APPROACH AND LANDING SYSTEMS
Abstract
The operation of approach and landing systems can be affected by precipitation, turbulence, atmospheric refraction, and other atmospheric phenomena, yet the demands on the system are highest under the most adverse conditions. Information is presented on the probable magnitude of the various weather-related effects, considering differences in radio frequencies, geographical location, and climate; rain attenuation is the most critical limiting factor at frequencies above about 7.5 GHz.
