Evaluation of Advanced Microwave Landing System Procedures in the New York Terminal Area

Abstract

In 1988, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) established the Microwave Landing System (MLS) Program Office and initiated a series of projects designed to demonstrate the operational, environmental and economic benefits of the MLS. These projects are scheduled to be completed by the end of 1991. The results of all these efforts will provide the FAA, Congress and industry with the data necessary to evaluate the future role of the MLS in the National Airspace System (NAS). The results of the first simulation conducted under the project titled 'Evaluation of Complex MLS Procedures in Multi-Airport Environments' are presented in this report. This initial experiment involved LaGuardia (LGA), John F. Kennedy (JFK), and Newark (EWR) airports in the New York Terminal Control Area.
