Microwave Landing System Utilization and Conventional Avionics.

Abstract

The study examined the effects of flying different microwave landing system approach profile designs with various types of conventional avionics. All the conventional systems used possessed similar limitations in that they were unable to present course guidance throughout the microwave landing system profiles. The loss of course guidance adversely affected pilot performance and, on occasion, made for unsafe conditions. (Author)
