Book excerpt: This report contains results of flight tests for three path update algorithms designed to provide smooth transition for an aircraft guidance system from DME, VORTAC, and barometric navaids to the more precise MLS by modifying the desired 3-D flight path. The first algorithm, called Zero Cross Track, eliminates the discontinuity in cross-track and altitude error at transition by designating the first valid MLS aircraft position as the desired first waypoint, while retaining all subsequent waypoints. The discontinuity in track angle is left unaltered. The second, called Tangent Path, also eliminates the discontinuity in cross-track and altitude errors and chooses a new desired heading to be tangent to the next oncoming circular arc turn. The third, called Continued Track, eliminates the discontinuity in cross-track, altitude, and track angle errors by accepting the current MLS position and track angle as the desired ones and recomputes the location of the next waypoint. The flight tests were conducted on the Transportation Systems Research Vehicle, a small twin-jet transport aircraft modified for research under the Advanced Transport Operating Systems program at Langley Research Center. The flight tests showed that the algorithms provided a smooth transition to MLS. Hueschen, Richard M. Langley Research Center NASA-TM-4089, L-16458, NAS 1.15:4089 RTOP 505-66-41-04...

This book was released on 1986 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Time Reference Scanning Beam (TRBS) MLS will supplant the existing instrument landing system as the recognized international standard as early as 1995. MLS provides the ability to determine the aircraft's position in three dimensional space over a large coverage volume in the airport terminal area. The use of this capability to navigate and execute approaches throughout this volume of coverage results with the application of a technique known as Microwave Landing System Area Navigation (MLS RNAV). Applications of MLS RNAV can be as simple as executing approaches offset from but parallel to the MLS 0 deg azimuth or as complex as multi-segment and curved path approaches. MLS RNAV is particularly adaptable to helicopter operations. Allowing approaches to helicopters located away from the main instrumented runway. To assess and further develop the potential capabilities of MLS RNAV, the FAA Technical Center; performing analytical studies, as well as developing a prototype MLS RNVA system.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of flight tests were performed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center at the Miami/Tamiami Florida Airport to demonstrate the operation and capabilities of a prototype Microwave Landing System (MLS) Area Navigation System (RNAV). The Technical Center's test bed MLS was transported to and collocated with the commissioned Category I Instrument Landing System (ILS) on runway 9R at Tamiami. The flight data collected indicate that the errors in aircraft position, as computed by the MLS RNAV algorithm, consistently met Category I performance criteria, and that computed centerline and glide slope operations can be conducted with Category I accuracies to runways with lateral offsets of up to 3500 feet.
