Abstract:
1. A Synthetic Instrument Landing System (SILS) device operatively coupled to an aircraft display, comprising: means for receiving a frequency to be used for a precision approach; means for mapping a plurality of Synthetic Instrument Landing System (SILS) frequencies to Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) Landing System (GLS) and to Satellite Landing System (SLS) channel numbers stored in an onboard database; means for comparing the received frequency to the plurality of mapped SILS frequencies of the onboard database; means for finding a match between the received frequency and the plurality of mapped SILS frequencies of the onboard database; means for selecting an SILS approach based the matched SILS frequency of the onboard database and a current aircraft position relative to the precision approach; and means for providing ILS-like deviations on at least one cockpit display based on said selection.
