This paper outlines possible applications in the terminal area of an ILS based on hyperbolic geometry and correlation detection.

1. Introduction. A recent contribution to this Journal has surveyed the terminal area problem at London and outlined the research which is necessary to improve traffic handling capability. It was shown that contributions from many different development efforts will need to be integrated in order to achieve a worthwhile result. A fundamental aspect is that the problem of traffic congestion begins and ends at the runways and that the performance of the instrument landing system is of major importance. This paper will indicate how an approach and landing aid based on hyperbolic geometry and using correlation detection techniques can offer solutions to many of the known causes of traffic delay. The same principles can be used to integrate data links and monitoring into a complex which should be designed to aid the pilot as well as the controller.
