Microwave Landing And Collision Avoidance Systems
1
Microwave landing and collision avoidance systems 1. LAAS – Local Augmentation System a. Have to be lined up with runway to catch the signal 2. WAAS – Wide Area Augmentation System a. Utilizes GPS system 3. ILS – Instrument Landing System 4. TLS – Transponder Landing System 5. GPS – Global Positioning System 6. ADF – Automatic Direction Finder a. Not very accurate. Small airports may use these, cuz they’re cheap 7. VOR – Very High Frequency Omni Directional Range 8. DME – Distance Measuring System Pilots Situational Awareness 1. GPWS – Ground Proximity Warning System “Radar Altimeter” 2. TAWS – Terrain Awareness Warning System a. Digital terrain map/GPS 3. OCAS – Obstacle Collision Avoidance System a. Onboard radar of the aircraft 4. Synthetic Vision a. Computer generation of outside environment 5. PCAS – Portable Collision Avoidance System a. Listens passively to other transponders interrogations
