In addition to the use of the Microwave Landing System (MLS) as a guidance for segmented or curved approach path tracking, MLS can also be utilized during the interception phase of these approach paths. Within the scope, a theoretical study was carried out on the design and implementation of MLS-guided interception procedures, applicable to segmented approach paths. A subsequent simulator investigation was executed in which the following aspects were analyzed; the feasibility of four proposed interception procedures; the appropriate turn techniques; (closed loop or open loop turns); the avionics equipment required for these procedures, including an experimental navigation display; especially developed to be used with the MLS interception procedures.
