At present, routine all-weather operation of VTOL aircraft in terminal area environment is not possible because of lack of knowledge required for satisfactory operation of aircraft under Instrument Flight Rules conditions; problems encountered during operation of VTOL aircraft in transition flight at low speed on approach guidance system are considered; results obtained from several flight research investigations; instrument approach techniques, methods of glide path and speed control, aircraft handling characteristics, time fuel airspace requirements, and pilot displays are considered.
