Hardware Performance Analysis of the Basic Narrow Microwave Landing System (MLS) at Washington National Airport (DCA) in the Service Test and Evaluation Program (STEP).

Abstract

This is the final technical note for the 'Hardware Performance Analysis of the Basic Narrow Microwave Landing System (MLS) at Washington National Airport (DCA) in the Service Test and Evaluation Program (STEP)' for the period January 1,1981 through June 30, 1983. The MLS configuration, limits of signal operation, system and subsystem operation, data collection and analysis are described. Equipment and environmental problem areas uncovered during the test and evaluation are discussed in the Results section of this report. Chargeable failures are identified and listed and engineering investigations are discussed. Remote Maintenance Monitoring System (RMMS) data analysis are presented. Conclusions and recommendations are listed. Keywords include: Microwave Landing System (MLS), Service Test and Evaluation Program (STEP), MLS Hardware Performance Analysis, and MLS Basic Narrow System.
