ADVANCED INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM Abstract A system for landing an aircraft is described, using a ground installation and an airborne installation which are synchronized together using GPS system time. Specifically, the ground installation includes a ground transmitter (32) which radiates the sequence of signals (A,B,C,D) which provide precision guidance information to the aircraft, an aircraft installation which includes a radio receiver (8) and a processor (15) to receive a process the transmitted guidance signals and to provide indications (18,20) to aid the pilot in landing the aircraft, a GPS receiver in the air (68) and on the ground (60) for producing signals representative of GPS system time, and a channel selector (72) in the aircraft for actuating the processor to synchronize its operation with the ground installation transmitter. Range information is provided by measuring the time interval between the transmission of a reference at the ground and its receipt in the air.
