A series of flight tests were performed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center at the Miami/Tamiami Florida Airport to demonstrate the operation and capabilities of a prototype Microwave Landing System (MLS) Area Navigation System (RNAV). The Technical Center's test bed MLS was transported to and collocated with the commissioned Category I Instrument Landing System (ILS) on runway 9R at Tamiami. The flight data collected indicate that the errors in aircraft position, as computed by the MLS RNAV algorithm, consistently met Category I performance criteria, and that computed centerline and glide slope operations can be conducted with Category I accuracies to runways with lateral offsets of up to 3500 feet.
