Microwave Landing System Utilization and Digital Avionics.
Abstract
The study had two objectives. It was designed to assess how well a pilot could determine if he were flying the intended MLS approach path and to examine how profile design affected tracking performance. The study revealed that the pilot was better able to evaluate his location with respect to the nominal approach path horizontally than vertically. Profiles with short final approach legs (2n.m.) and high intercept angles (60 deg) were most difficult to fly. (Author)
