MLS 02 Microwave Landing System (MLS) Flight and
Ground Inspection Requirements
1 Introduction
1.1 Article 205 (5) of the Air Navigation Order, as amended, permits the UK CAA to include a condition on an Article 205 approval requiring that the equipment be flight checked by an approved person.
1.2 The purpose of this document is to ensure that Microwave Landing Systems (MLS) are maintained and operated within defined limits.
2 Scope
2.1 These requirements apply to MLS with the following configuration:
.
ILS lookalike;
.
high rate approach azimuth guidance;
.
clearance not provided by pulses;
.
no Out-of-Coverage Indication (OCI) signals;
.
no back azimuth.
2.2 This document defines the:
.
inspection interval;
.
limits to be applied to all parameters measured; and
.
types of inspection.
2.3 Work is ongoing to investigate requirements for checking multipath. Once these have been established, they will be included in this set of requirements.
3 Safety Objective
The equipment shall provide a complete, identified, accurate and uncorrupted source of guidance information to aircraft (2283).
4 Inspection Interval
For MLS facilities, the prescribed interval between successive inspections is 180 days (2284).
5 Tolerances
5.1 A tolerance of ±20 days is applicable to the prescribed intervals. Operators shall strive to ensure that inspections take place as closely as possible to the prescribed intervals (2285). If the previous inspection lasted more than one day, the interval shall be calculated from the date when the inspection started (2286).
