ANALYSIS OF STABILIZATION OF OPTICAL LANDING SYSTEMS AGAINST SHIP ROLL AND PITCH – “CENTRELINE” SYSTEM AND PLAY

摘要

A study has been made of the stabilization of the pilot Landing Aid Television System devised for monitoring carrier aircraft landings, and of the stabilization of a proposed, centerline-located Optical Landing System which night relieve pilots of looking to the side during a critical phase of the approach. Stabilization of the FLAT system is only partial, and the quantitative consequence is determined. The centerline-located OLS is shown to have lost its provision for simple accommodation of various H/E values and to be incapable of line-stabilization. However, point-stabilization, which is possible, is probably adequate.
