      <title>ESTABLISHMENT CRITERIA FOR DISTANCE MEASURING EQUIMENT (DME) WITH INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM AND/OR LOCALIZER APPROACH AIDS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/89049</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report develops revised establishment criteria for Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) with either Instrument Landing System (ILS) or localizer approach aids. The criteria are based upon analysis of DME payoffs versus the cost of providing and maintaining the equipment. This benefit/cost analysis considers the following factors: Use of DME in lieu of ILS outer marker beacon; Reduced probability of approach accidents; Averted flight disruptions due to reduced localizer minima; Averted missed approaches due to additional information provided; Expedited aircraft departures due to reduced departure flight path length. Former criteria concentrated on DME establishment for purposes of traffic expedition and approach minima reduction. Revised criteria consider, in addition to the foregoing, DME as a safety aid. The revised criteria identify 281 ILS runways and 35 localizer runways for DME establishment. At an average per-site equipment and installation cost of $62,900, the potential program cost is approximately $20 million. (Author)]]></description>

      <title>ILS SCALE MODEL FACILITY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/41500</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This document describes the design, installation, and testing of an ILS scale model facility at Suffolk County Airport, Westhampton Beach, New York. The model system consists of a localizer, glide slope, and automatic tracking facilities, with a scale factor of 30/1. The facility provides course structure deviations of less than + or - 5 microamps and + or - 2 microamps from theoretical for glide slope and localizer respectively from the outer marker to threshold.

      <title>ILS LOCALIZER ALIGNMENT AND STRUCTURE MODEL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/30902</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Nonstationary statistical analysis of flight inspection data for 13 Category II and Category II-training Localizer facilities is used to obtain statistical models for the Localizer alignment error and structure. Models for these two components of Localizer anomalies are given in terms of two linear differential equations and Gaussian probability density functions especially useful for landing system performance analysis. The structure component of the received Localizer guidance signal is found to be stationary, to have a standard deviation of 2.47 microamperes, and a characteristic length of 1309. ft. The alignment error component of the received Localizer guidance signal is found to have a mean of 2.25 microamperes (probably due to the relatively small sample of different Localizer facilities), and a standard deviation of 4.92 microamperes.]]></description>

      <title>INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/30638</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Results are presented of the fourth year technical investigations to provide improvement in ILS performance. Major emphases were on development of mathematical models for predicting (1) effects on the glide slope and localizer; and (2) effects of irregular ground on image-type glide slopes. The design, development and testing of an Automatic Tracking Radio Theodolite is reported upon as well as the effects of truncated grounds upon image glide slopes. Results have been obtained from analyses of snow cover effects on the glide slope, methods of minimizing parasitic currents in V-Ring Localizer arrays and the minimization of over-flight effects on localizer monitors. Conclusions and recommendations for improvements in the glide slope performance at specific sites are presented from work done in providing special consultations at Detroit and Pittsburgh.]]></description>

      <title>INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM MONITOR PRECISION CALIBRATOR</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/30565</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The ILS Monitor Precision Calibrator is VHF-UHF signal generator, with internal modulation capability to generate Localizer (VHF) and Glide Slope (UHF) signals. The purpose of the work was to develop a single equipment to provide suitably accurate ILS RF and demodulated RF for Categories II/III ILS ground equipment monitors. It is used to verify correct response and proper alarm limit settings for ILS monitor and ILS receivers. In addition, the equipment contains a digital frequency readout indicating the output RF frequency and a digital readout that indicates DDM on dual tone and percent modulation on single tone.]]></description>
