The paired approach procedure is intended to facilitate IFR approaches to closely spaced parallel runways (closer than 2500 feet) and increase runway throughput where parallel ILS approaches cannot be conducted under instrument meteorological conditions. The paired approach procedure requires that air traffic control pair compatible and eligible aircraft and place them on the final approach cou...

An overview of the new Modelica Flight Dynamics Library of the German Aerospace Center DLR is given. This library is intended for construction of multi-disciplinary flight dynamics models of rigid and flexible flight vehicles. The environment models provide the functionality to cover on-ground operations up to flight at high speeds and high altitudes. The resulting models may be used in various...
