Abstract-With the growth of civil aviation traffic, enhanced accuracy performances are required from guidance systems to maintain efficiency and safety in flight operations. This communication proposes a new representation of aircraft flight dynamics at approach for landing and a space-based nonlinear dynamic inversion control for a transportation aircraft. The main novelty is that the adopted independent variable is the distance to land. This new representation of flight dynamics should support the development of improved aircraft guidance systems.

The design and operational tuning of the instruments and procedures employed in communications-navigation-surveillance (CNS) and air traffic management (ATM) often relies on stochastic simulation techniques. In this paper the application areas of simulation in the CNS/ATM context are reviewed together with the simulation methods that can help solve the main problems encountered, i.e. quick simulation techniques for the simulation of rare events, and the bootstrap technique for the evaluation of the accuracy of the results.

This paper is concerned with guidance strategies for near-optimum performance in a windshear. The takeoff problem is considered with reference to flight in a vertical plane. In addition to the horizontal shear, the presence of a downdraft is assumed. First, trajectories for optimum performance in a windshear are determined for different windshear models and intensities. Use is made of the methods of optimal control theory in conjunction with the dual sequential gradient-restoration algorithm (DSGRA) for optimal control problems. In this approach, global information on the wind flowfield is needed. Then, guidance strategies for near-optimum performance in a windshear are developed, starting from the optimal trajectories. Specifically, an acceleration guidance scheme based on the relative acceleration is presented in both analytical and feedback control forms. In this approach, local information on the wind flowfield is needed. Numerical experiments show that the acceleration guidance scheme produces trajectories that are quite close to the optimum trajectories. In addition, the near-optimum trajectories are superior to the trajectories arising from alternative guidance schemes. An important characteristic of the acceleration guidance scheme is its simplicity. Indeed, this guidance scheme is implementable if local information on the windshear, the downdraft, and the state of the aircraft is available.
