Comparisons of different approaches for ILS simulation

Abstract

The recent ILS localiser prediction tool, ATOLL, has been employed to study a range of different scenarios. Simulations produce similar results to measurements performed on a glideslope mast and a taxiing Airbus A380 aircraft. A study on simple rudder-sized plates demonstrates the limits of the PO method. Simulations performed on cranes show a strong dependence upon the angle of the jib. The effects of multiple inter-crane interactions are seen to been insignificant for these geometries.
