Abstract

This paper describes the present anticipated contributions of two systems of approach and landing guidance -- VHF/UHF Instrument Landing System (ILS), and Microwave Landing System (MLS). The first part of the paper is a brief history of aircraft approach and landing guidance. This is followed by a discussion of the large recent improvements in ILS through new engineering developments. Key features of the five national proposals for MLS competing for being identified as the international standard are described along with the most apparent improvements the MLS systems will provide.
