Microwave Landing System Accuracy Requirements for Automatic Flare-Out

Abstract

The report describes adaptation of a computer based simulation of a transport aircraft automatic landing system to enable study of microwave landing system (MLS) flare guidance. The simulation was used to examine the allowable errors from the range and elevation angle measuring sub-systems of the MLS flare system.
