• Abstract:
  Results of a math model study for the runway 191 Instrument Landing System (ILS) glide slope at the San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco, California, are presented. This study was performed at the request of the Western Region to determine the effects on glide slope performance resulting from proposed relocation of the glide slope and proposed construction of an improved dike. Course structure and level run plots for the existing Null Reference System and an alternative Capture Effect System are presented for high and low tidal conditions. The results presented are the output from the ILS glide slope mathematical model computer program developed by the Transportation Systems Center and run on the Honeywell 66/60 computer at the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center.
