Investigations for Improving Operational Reliability and Maintainability of Instrument Landing System Components. Volume 2. Figures and Illustrations.

Abstract

Evaluations and performance analysis are presented for Dallas-Fort Worth, TX,; Wheeling, WV.; Bristol, TN,; Parkersburg, WV.; Pontiac, MI.; and DeKalb-Peachtree, GA. An investigation of anomalous performance of the glide slope at Lambert-St. Louis is reported. An analysis of Instrument Landing System (ILS) Reference Datum Heights (RDH) is reported, as well as the results of an investigation of glide slope critical areas. A study into the feasibility of developing groundbased checking techniques for validating the Sideband Reference (SBR) glide slope is presented, as well as an assessment of the current standards and tolerance used to qualify glide slope structures. In addition, a proposed methodology for mathematical model validation is discussed. (Author)
