Test and Evaluation of a Portable Scanning Beam Guidance System.

Abstract

A portable scanning beam guidance system was installed and tested at 28 field locations. The sites selected were located at 16 different airports in the eastern United States and were known to be difficult instrument landing system (ILS) sites. The system was tested both as a glide slope and as a localizer. The system was installed, calibrated, and initially aligned without the need for extensive flight testing to verify system performance. Results are reported, largely in oscillogram form. (Author)
