Abstract

Precision landing guidance is critical for aircraft safety, yet recurring signal anomalies in the ILS Glide Path on runway 24 at the Jakarta Air Traffic Service Center raise concerns about approach and landing reliability. Despite compliance with standard regulations, persistent signal anomalies affecting glide slope accuracy raise concerns about safe aircraft approach. This study investigates the sources of distortion, quantifies their impact on ILS Glide Path performance, and proposes mitigation strategies. Spectrum analysis, environmental assessments, and signal evaluation through oscilloscopes and navigation analyzers were employs to identify and quantify sources of distortion. Results indicate that while composite audio signals comply with standards, navigation analyzer readings reveal persistent deviations in Difference in Depth of Modulation (DDM) due to harmonic distortions at 30 Hz and its multiples up to 450 Hz. These distortions could interfere with DDM values received by calibration aircraft, making conventional technical adjustments, such as power level settings and antenna reconfigurations, insufficient for complete resolution. Instead, alternative mitigation approaches including reducing environmental reflections, optimizing siting criteria, and refining regulatory compliance measures are recommended. These findings provide valuable insights for enhancing ILS Glide Path reliability, refining signal mitigation strategies, and ensuring regulatory compliance for safer aviation navigation systems.

Abstract

Accurate monitoring of ground vehicle and aircraft movement in the airport airside is essential to reduce the risk of incidents caused by limited coordination between controllers, pilots, and ground operators. This study proposes the design of a ground movement tracking system for airside operations, utilizing a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module (Matek M10Q-5883) and a Long Range (LoRa) communication module (LILYGO ESP32), integrated with a web dashboard for real-time visualization. The system was developed using the Waterfall methodology, covering requirement analysis, system design, hardware and software implementation, and performance testing in simulated airside conditions. Experimental results show that the system achieved an average coordinate deviation of only 0.000017º equivalent to about 1.7 meters  compared to a reference device, and maintained reliable data transmission up to 1.4 km under line-of-sight conditions. These findings demonstrate that the proposed system provides accurate and stable monitoring of ground movements, offering a cost-efficient and weather-independent alternative to GSM-based solutions. In addition, by optimizing LoRa parameters, the system successfully extended its communication range beyond the ~1 km typically reported in related studies, highlighting its novelty and contribution to enhanced safety in airport operations.
