An Analysis of the Requirements for, and the Benefits and Costs of the National Microwave Landing System (MLS). Volume II,

Abstract

This report consists of three volumes, 1.e.: (1) An Executive Summary, (2) volume I comprising the detailed study analysis, and (3) this Volume II which contains reprints of important studies supporting the analysis included in the report. The analysis assesses the comparative desirability of implementing the MLS equipment option in place of the currently installed ILS as the long term National standard for precision guidance service. An evaluation period of 20 years, to the year 2000, was used for this assessment. The study results show that implementation of MLS can provide sizeable benefits in excess of costs, in varying degress, to the aviation user group (i.e., carriers, commuter airlines, general aviation and the military).
