Application of Inertial Locator Concepts to FAA Basic Flight Inspection. Volume I

摘要

Feasibility studies were made of utilizing an airborne inertial navigation system (inertial locator equipment) to provide aircraft position information to the FAA Basic Flight Inspection System. Design objectives were established for the flight inspection of VOR, VORTAC, and TACAN stations and Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). Analyses were made, including simulated computer flights, of the capabilities of inertial equipment to perform in the flight inspection missions. Conclusions, based on assumed inertial system performance, indicate that the use of inertial locator equipment is feasible, using updating techniques for some missions. Recommendations are made for a flight demonstration program. (Author)
