ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a system utilizing an exponential control law for glide slope capture. The capture maneuver from above or below the beam, is a function of decreasing glide slope beam error. The present autopilot approach coupler is an altitude rate command system which provides switchless signal processing during glide slope capture, and tracking.
