Comparison of experimental data from an Airbus A320 and a Boeing 737NG in vertical path following and speed profile during novel advanced RNP to ILS procedures. The approaches were flown completely automatic, with guidance/thrust as computed by the FMS. Main areas of interest of the trials were the performance of the vertical path following as well as maintaining an optimized speed profile. rn
