Due to the wide coverage volume of MLS, in both azimuth and elevation, the system enables the introduction of new approach and terminal area procedures. For several years the NLR has been investigating the potential of MLS with respect to the execution of non-straight-in approaches has been investigated. On the basis of results of preceding studies an investigation on the concept of MLS guided interception procedures was carried out. During these flight simulations manually (flight director) approaches were executed with a simulated Boeing 747 aircraft. Results of the investigation, including the evaluation of the interception procedures, flight director concepts and special avionics, such as an experimental navigation display and a modified HSI, are discussed in the present report.
