[Legacy Report] Precision Approach Satellite Landing System and Multipath Limiting Antenna
Today’s aircraft use GPS for navigation. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has implemented a strategy for the replacement of conventional ground-based navigation aids and the adoption of the Global Navigation Satellite System technology for navigation and guidance. Various levels of accuracy are required for the respective phases of flight. One of the more critical phases of flight is the approach and landing. Guidance for this phase has traditionally been provided by the Instrument Landing System (ILS), but with the transition to GNSS, this phase of flight can now be provided by the Ground-Based Augmentation System (GBAS). Today’s presentation will provide an overview and operational details of the Honeywell SLS-4000 GBAS, and provide more specific information on the Multipath Limiting Antenna. This system is the first, and currently the only, precision approach satellite landing system in the world.
