Landing System Reliability and Safety Model.

Abstract

A total systems analysis procedure for identifying the safety hazards and risks associated with the use of a defined flight control system for low visibility approach and landing (Category III) was developed. The analysis includes the ground transmitting system, airborne automatic flight control system, pilot and copilot operating in the system, and crew procedures. Actual data from Category III experience in a specially equipped C-141 aircraft, along with equipment failure data from C-141 fleet experience was used to test and confirm the modeling techniques.
