Some problems of automatic guidance of an aircraft in the horizontal plane are described. The horizontal guidance tasks, which such a flight control system should be capable of performing, were identified as being of three types: guiding the aircraft from any initial location and initial heading to (1) any final location and heading; (2) intercept and fly along a line of specified direction; and (3) a final location with arbitrary final heading. Guidance problems such as capturing an ILS beam at a specified point on the beam, intercepting a VOR radial, and point-to-point navigation can be formulated in terms of these problems. The guidance laws minimize the arc distance to fly between initial and final conditions subject to constraints on the minimum turning radius.
