Flight simulator evaluation of advanced MLS procedures

The flight simulator study described in this report concerns an evaluation of manually flown, flight director aided, curved MLS approach and departure procedures with a simulated wide-body transport aircraft. Four curved approach paths and two departure procedures have been evaluated, where these procedures were determined to be beneficial from...

Flight simulator investigation on the approach path parameters for MLS curved approaches

The present flight simulator study has been addressed to the evaluation of the approach path parameters for curved approach paths. A number of seven oblique approach paths has been investigated, varying in both straight final length and oblique angle. The investigation was carried out for various operating minima (decision height, runway visual...
