• Description:
  The purpose of this validation study is to evaluate the performance of the Microwave Landing System (MLS) Mathematical Model by comparing the results of the math model's simulation of flight test profiles flown at JFK International Airport in New York City with actual airborne data collected during the test flights. Specifically, this study addresses the problem of scattering of MLS signals by the Pan American Airlines Hangar 19 on approaches to runway 13R. The approach to validation taken in this study and the philosophy of interpreting the results are discussed in detail in Concepts Analysis Division Report ACD-330-90-04, "Approach to Validation of the MLS Mathematical Model" (Linda Pasquale, Jesse D. Jones).
