Wind shear on the approach: An investigation on the infuence of a tower measured wind environment on the symmetric motions of a simulated aircraft in an automatic approach

Measured wind profiles from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute 200 m meteorological tower at Cabauw have been used to estimate wind shear effects on the symmetric motions of an approaching aircraft. Wind profiles as well as an automatically approaching DC-9 aircraft have been simulated on an electronic analog computer. The study...
