Beschreibung:
The use of decoupled longitudinal controls is simulated for the approach and landing of a twin engine jet transport in the presence of wind shear. Decoupled or independent control of pitch angle, flight-path angle and forward velocity using constant prefilter and feedback gains was compared to conventional control of a B-737 aircraft simulator. It is found that the mean flight-path angle, the mean glideslope error and the mean deviation in indicated airspeed generally improved when decoupled controls were used in the approach. An improvement in touchdown parameters was also observed, especially in strong shear, when 44% of conventionally-controlled flights impacted short of the runway. Simulator pilots reported improved approach performance and a reduced workload when decoupled controls were used.
