Abstract

See full text

A system is provided which permits a display of ground conditions to the pilot through the use of a forward looking sensor set and uses signals generated from the aircraft to simulate ground aid signals which are used for automatic landing of the aircraft. General flight path angle and course aim point corrections are made from the cockpit of the aircraft and are adjustable as the flight progresses. Most of the systems today that have fixed path capability to ground intercepts are based on ground installed equipment. This system can establish the inertial flight path track internally to the aircraft and provides an automatic landing system which allows the pilot to concentrate on the visibility of the forward scene to confirm the safe progress of the landing.
