Math Model Study, Runway 16R Instrument Landing System Localizer at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, Washington

摘要

Results of a math model study for the runway 16R instrument landing system (ILS) localizer at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport, Washington, are presented. This study was performed at the request of the Northwest Region of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to determine the effects to the course structure of a proposed building and the replacement of the existing ILS localizer system. Resultant course structure plots are presented for both the existing Texas Instruments Basic Parabolic Category II Localizer and the proposed Wilcox 14/6 Category III Localizer, with and without the effects of the proposed Boeing building. The course structure plots are the output from the ILSLOC mathematical model computer program developed by the Transportation Systems Center and run on the Honeywell 66/60 computer at the FAA Technical Center.
