The present flight simulator study concerns an evaluation of flight director aided curved microwave landing system (MLS) approach paths with a simulated wide-body transport aircraft. Four curved approach paths, consisting of two straight segments and one 90 degrees circular segment with different straight final segment lengths, have been evaluated. Moreover, an MLS equivalent of the 13R Canarsie visual approach at Kennedy International Airport, New York has been investigated. The experimental results consisted of both objective and subjective data. Objective data concerned statistical data of path deviations, aircraft state and control variables. Subjective data were derived from questionnaire responses and pilot comments.
