Design and Development of Helicopter Electronic Glide path-based Landing system

Source summary

Develop an electronic glide-path landing system for helicopters using hill helipads in poor visibility, where landings now rely mainly on visual references. The system must provide glide-path signals plus monitored failure and degraded-operation visual or aural warnings. Transportability, site configurability, non-standard glide angles, deterioration data, flight-path monitoring, compatibility with aircraft ILS and a ground-equipment guidance concept are presented as possible features rather than universal requirements.
