DTIC ADA115926: TRACALS Evaluation Report. Special Report. A Procedure for RTT Position Improvement Using Linear Regression Analysis of Glide Slope Structure.
This report presents a method to improve the position of a Radio Telemetering Theodolite (RTT) through an analysis by linear regression of the observed glide path structure of an instrument landing system. A complete derivation of the procedure is also presented, including examples testing the procedure at different glide slope facilities. These tests validated the procedure as well as revealed the limitations of its use. The procedure may be used to establish a permanent optimum RTT location for future use when commissioning new glide slope facilities exhibiting marginal performance and/or requiring Category II operation.
