The report describes efforts leading to the determination of minimum suitable scan rates for the azimuth and Elevation functions of the microwave Landing Guidance System (LGS) proposed by RTCA SC-117, based on performance requirements of two conventionally equipped civilian aircraft. Two complementary methods are used; one involving a full nonlinear digital simulation, the other involving direct covariance matrix propagation. Wind and turbulence models, aircraft models and LGS models are described in detail. (Author)
