A series of flight tests were performed by the FAA Technical Center at the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) to obtain Microwave Landing System (MLS) performance data and to compare the performance of a commissioned Category 1 Instrument Landing System (ILS) with the performance of a prototype MLS. The Technical Center's test bed MLS was transported to and collocated with the commissioned Category 1 ILS on runway 21R and MLS met Category 1 standards, the MLS represented a noticeable improvement in accuracy, signal quality, and flyability.
