Math Model Study of a Proposed Glide Slope for Runway 13R, Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, Texas

Abstract

This document describes instrument landing system (ILS) math modeling perfomed at the request of the Southwest Region. Data are presented showing the computed performance of a proposed glide slope for runway 13R at the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, Texas. Model path structure and level run plots are provided for capture effect, null reference, and sideband reference systems installed at a location selected by region engineers. Results indicate that all three system should meet categrory II path structure, linearity, and symmetry tolerances. The capture effect system provides the smoothest glidepath structure of the three systems modeled.
