Aircraft position error sensitivity to sensor errors and flight path geometry is analyzed during RNAV/MLS transition using a digital computer simulation. The avionics sensitivity data provides information necessary to establish requirements for additional guidance law design and to establish airspace requirements for maneuvering to null out any residual RNAV errors upon MLS transition. The data base is also beneficial as planning information for subsequent flight testing. The parameters varied during the generation of the data base include flight profile, error source content and magnitude, ground facility location, runway/flight path orientation and navigation mode. The avionics, autopilots and aircraft dynamics correspond to the existing NASA Terminal Configured Vehicle. Significant transients were observed during MLS transition, primarily in the vertical channel. These transients have a significant impact on airspace requirements and operational procedures in the RNAV/MLS environment.
