Inertial and image-derived measurements for runway referenced flight path computations are investigated. They open the way for flight-tests without ground-based sensors and with a minimum of a priori knowledge or none at all about the runway position and direction in absolute coordinates. They are ideally suited for inspecting landing aids at congested civil airports, for instance. The investigations concentrate on the problems of the baroinertial and inertial altitude measurements, on the achievable accuracies of image-derived measurements and their integration with inertial measurements. It is shown that glide path and flight track accuracies in the order of 0.01 deg (1 sigma) should be achievable.
