Development and Evaluation of a Flight Director System for Instrument Landings,

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0748244 | Need Help?

Abstract:

The research evaluates comparatively, in a simulated instrument landing system, four different configurations of a flight director display using command heading and command flight path angle. The four configurations include moving horizon display, moving aircraft display, frequency-separated display, and kinalog display. ILS localizer tracking performance with any of the experimental displays was superior to that with the conventional cross-pointer flight-path display. Author
