ILS/MLS (Instrument Landing System/Microwave Landing System) Collocation Tests at Miami/Tamiami, Florida Airport

Abstract

A series of tests were performed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center at the Miami/Tamiami, Florida, Airport to verify the guidance material contained in the proposed amendments to Attachment G to Part I of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 10 A mock-up of the category Instrument landing system (ILS) on runway 9R. Several engineering flight tests were flown with ILS data collected and analyzed. These results were later verified by actually installing the MLS test bed at one of the locations used for the mockup tests. The results indicate that the proposed guidelines are adequate as published, but several items should be considered when implementing these guidelines. These items are presented as recommendations.
