In the report a statistical approach to automatic landing in turbulent planetary boundary layer is presented which is valuable for use in aircraft design and the analysis of terminal operation safety, also useful in design of autoland systems. The linearized equations of motion for an aircraft following a glide slope and an exponential curved path in the presence of wind shear and turbulence are developed. The effects of gust gradients on the motion were considered.
