STOL TERMINAL AREA OPERATING SYSTEM (Aircraft and Onboard Avionics, ATC, Navigation Aids)

摘要

STOL aircraft will be required to fly special flight paths to operate in restricted airspace in order to avoid CTOL airways and thus effectively provide congestion relief. Reliable transportation will require aircraft systems and operational procedures to accomplish this safely in all types of atmospheric conditions and weather while using available navigation aids. Operational procedures and systems onboard the STOL aircraft which are required to obtain acceptable performance under these constraints are the subject of this report. Results of simulation and flight investigations to establish operational criteria are presented.
