Blind Landings
Author: Erik M. Conway
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781421427911
Category : Airplanes
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
When darkness falls, storms rage, fog settles, or lights fail, pilots are forced to make "instrument landings," relying on technology and training to guide them through typically the most dangerous part of any flight. In this original study, Erik M. Conway recounts one of the most important stories in aviation history: the evolution of aircraft landing aids that make landing safe and routine in almost all weather conditions. Discussing technologies such as the Loth leader-cable system, the American National Bureau of Standards system, and, its descendants, the Instrument Landing System, the MIT-Army-Sperry Gyroscope microwave blind landing system, and the MIT Radiation Lab's radar-based Ground Controlled Approach system, Conway interweaves technological change, training innovation, and pilots' experiences to examine the evolution of blind landing technologies. He shows how systems originally intended to produce routine, all-weather blind landings gradually developed into routine instrument-guided approaches. Even so, after two decades of development and experience, pilots still did not want to place the most critical phase of flight, the landing, entirely in technology's invisible hand. By the end of World War II, the very concept of landing blind therefore had disappeared from the trade literature, a victim of human limitations.

Siting Criteria for Microwave Landing Systems (MLS)
Author: Roger Radcliff
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Microwave landing systems
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
This report describes current siting criteria for the Microwave Landing Systems (MLS). These criteria have been obtained through flight testing, mathematical and computer modeling, and publications from other sources. The first three chapters provide a description of MLS principles and a technical description of each of the system components. Chapter Four introduces the reader to general principles germane to siting, such as critical areas and propagation effects. Chapter Five describes the criteria for siting the MLS in an ideal airport environment. The final chapter gives solutions to difficult siting problems such as MLS/ILS collocation, multipath and shadowing effects, and collocation with approach lighting systems. (Author).
