Abstract
This study examined the effect of radar disturbances on time-controlled precision-landing delivery. A simulation was developed and tested which models an aircraft on a four-dimensional navigation terminal approach. Trained pilots flew a nominal approach in a fixed-base cockpit simulator following timed delivery commands from an initial fix to a final approach fix. During the flight, position information was estimated from noisy radar observations. Three phases of testing were conducted to quantify the accuracy of a timed delivery algorithm with modifications in the flight commands. In all cases, timed delivery was performed with great accuracy, while keeping pilot workload at a low level.
