Mobile Microwave Landing System (MMLS): Operational Requirements for Setup Accuracy

Abstract

This report examines, and determines, the accuracies required for the survey and alignment procedures in operational use of the Mobile Microwave Landing System such that the specified system accuracies will be satisfied in collocated and splite-site Category I and II system deployments. The required accuracies are within the capabilities of modern survey equipment; in fact, less sophisticated methods such as pacing, or using the known length of the monitor cables, will suffice.
