This report documents the results of the Converging Approach Standards Technical Working Group (CASTWG) evaluations of the FMS (Flight Management System)/LNAV (lateral navigation) performance and aircraft track dispersion during a missed approach turn prior to runway threshold. This investigation was carried out in two phases: (1) simulator flight trials to address technical/operational issues and provide pilot data for the risk assessment and (2) a Monte Carlo computer simulation to assess the risk that FMS aircraft would maneuver into the converging missed approach airspace. This report provides a discussion of the investigation and a summary of results.
