Patent

CA 2144412

An aircraft landings system is disclosed in which a differential GPS global positioning system is employed. A ground station, located in the vicinity of one or more landing strips, includes a GPS receiver and a data link transmitter for transmitting GPS correction data and also the global position of two points which define the desired aircraft glide path associated with a particular landing strip. The system fur- ther includes aircraft equipment comprising a receiver for receiving the correction data and the global position of the two glide path points, and a GPS receiver. The aircraft equipment further includes a computer for determining a corrected global position of the aircraft as a function of the aircraft GPS range data and the correction data, and subsequently determines the lateral deviation and vertical deviation from the glide path defined by the two glide path points.
