This test plan describes a series of flight tests using Microwave Landing System (MLS) back azimuth guidance for missed approach and departure procedures. Issues to be addressed during these flight tests are: (1) The proper point in a missed approach to switch from approach azimuth to back azimuth guidance; (2) the largest MLS back azimuth offset angle usable for departures and missed approaches; and (3) the correct back azimuth full scale sensitivity. Approximately 10 industry pilots will participate as test subjects. The flights will be tracked by a radar tracker throughout each procedure. Individual and composite plots of each approach will be produced, and answers to in-flight and post-flight questionnaires will be complied. The processed data will be made available to the international aviation community to aid in the formulation of back azimuth usage guidelines. Keywords: Microwave landing systems. (rh)
