This document contains information on the utilization of the Microwave Landing System (MLS) at heliports and helipads. It was designed to familiarize operators and users with the features of the MLS and its capabilities in supporting heliport operations. For this reason the major sections of the document present information on MLS siting, operational characteristics, selecting and specifying an MLS system. In addition, other sections provide additional MLS information to familiarize pilots with MLS avionics, pilot training requirements and aircraft performance considerations. (Author).
The Microwave Landing System (MLS) program is designed to meet both civil and military operational needs. It will eventually replace the Instrument Landing System (ILS). After a system/equipment development phase, the Federal Aviation Administration, in 1979 began a Service Test and Evaluation Program (STEP) to obtain experience for developing criteria for siting, installation and preliminary operational procedures. Feasibility demo ground equipment from the development phase was used and user aircraft were equipped with MLS receivers. This report contains engineering evaluation of the FAA Technical Center flight test data taken on the Texas Instruments' manufactured Small Community MLS, as installed for STEP at Philadelphia International Airport Runway 17. The equipment performance was found to generally meet the FAA-STD-022b Path Following Error and Control Motion Noise requirement, but not the linearity requirement. Apparent aircraft propeller induced noise effects were identified.
