Review of Instrument Landing System

Statistical Simulation of FM Interference to the Instrument Landing System

Contrary to the popular views, air travel has been the safest compared to other surface transportation (automobile & railroad) in terms of casualty of passengers. This is mainly due to the vigilant pursuit of safety margin in the design of Air Traffic Control and Navigation (ATCN) system. However, the rising demand of air travels requires us to review the safety factor affecting all phases of a...

Analysis of Intermodulation Interference to the Instrument Landing

Automatic Landing Guidance Systems and Design of an Optimal Landing Control System

Guidance and control of aircraft in the landing phase imposes extra pilot work loads, hence application of automatic landing control systems is of great importance. In this study automatic landing control systems are introduced and an optimal landing control system is designed. The control system performance criteria are based on minimum control effort. The designed system is simulated for a tr...

Effect of Functional Fatigue on Landing Mechanics using Landing Error Scoring System (LESS)

One of the factors affecting jump-landing patterns is fatigue. Fatigue is an inevitable component of physical activity, hence the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of functional fatigue on landing mechanics through Landing Error Scoring System (LESS).Fourteen male college students with a mean age of 22±2 years, weight of 68.3±7.2 kg and height of 174±4 were randomly divi...
