Assessment of Auto-I.L.S. Approaches
Abstract
In making flight tests on auto-control systems the effect of tolerances on the various components in the system may have a significant effect on the performance. At A. and A.E.E., in recommending clearance for the Service, it is required to determine the likely limits of performance that will be met in general use, from the smallest practicable number of tests. This notice describes the recommended procedure for flight testing Auto-I.L.S. approaches at A. and A.E.E. and gives a method for estimating the Aircraft Approach Limitation height. The method can be applied to other types of approach system. The object of the notice is to give a systematic method of testing, which from a practicable number of tests covering what are thought to be the most important variables, will give a reasonable degree of certainty that the A.A.L. height is adequate and that the performance will be acceptable in Service use. No account is taken of power flying control or aerodynamic differences between aircraft.
