MLS provides the possibilities to define non-straight-in approach paths and to use more advanced interception procedures. Four different MLS approach path interception procedures have been proposed which are considered to serve all operational purposes. A fast-time computer has been carried out to evaluate the predictability and logic of the proposed interception procedures and to evaluate the accuracy and complexity of the used algorithms for various (open versus closed loop) turn techniques with related glide path definition. A succeeding real-time (Boeing 747) flight simulation has been carried out to further evaluate the proposed interception procedures and most promising turn techniques resulting from the fast-time computer simulation. A description of the developed interception procedures and the investigated turn techniques have been provided in the paper. Some results of the evaluation of the considered turn techniques as implemented in different flight director systems will be presented subsequently.
