Under a joint contract awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Netherlands Department of Civil Aviation (RLD), a flight simulator program was carried out on National Aerospace Laboratory's (NLR's) Research Flight Simulator (RFS) with 19 airline crews to evaluate various test scenarios concerning curved approaches and departures. The test program was flown under full Microwave Landing System (MLS) guidance with a simulated Boeing 747-200 aircraft. The scenarios included procedures for both to New York Area (John F. Kennedy International and La Guardia Airports) and Amsterdam International Airport Schiphol. Four curved approaches and two MLS departures have been evaluated. Crew ability to detect insidious failures and to respond to them were investigated. Crew performance and perception data were also measured in case of a simulated failure of the flight management computer during execution of a curved approach. The workload during a one-engine inoperative flight was also evaluated.
