AGARD Flight Test Instrumentation Series. Volume 16. Trajectory Measurements for Take-Off and Landing Tests and Other Short-Range Applications

Abstract

This NATO AGARDograph presents a review of the methods that are used for short-range trajectory measurements. Chapter 2 briefly reviews the instrumentation requirements of the applications: take-off and landing performance measurement, autoland performance measurement, noise measurement and flight inspection of radio beacons. The remainder of the AGARDograph discusses the methods used for such applications, and is subdivided into optical methods (including lasers), methods using radio or radar and methods using inertial sensing systems.
