  • Abstract
    A procedure is presented for developing spatial confidence intervals about the instrument landing system (i.e., ILS) centerline to determine the likelihood of catastrophic blunder for simultaneous arrivals to closely-spaced parallel runways. The spatial confidence interval is based on the statistics of the maximum lateral deviations (i.e., max(δL)) of arriving aircraft position data with respect to the ILS centerline. The procedure was applied at Memphis International Airport (MEM) and Lambert-St. Louis Airport (STL).
