MLS curved approach question
Hi,
Ok, got a quick question I was hoping someone could help me with. I work on autopilot systems for military jets and am currently looking at an MLS approach system. Now im slightly confused as to why MLS allows curved approaches while ILS coupled with DME does not? If ILS gives your azimuth and elevation, with DME for range (to replace the markers on the glideslope) then aside from the increased lateral cone for the localiser (80°) on MLS, why can you not fly a curved approach with ILS?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
