Abstract
This paper describes an automatic landing approach algorithm for fixed-wing UAVs using waypoint guidance. The proposed algorithm utilizes simple 2D Dubin's vehicle pre-simulations in planning the waypoints for landing approach. The remaining time to reach the runway is also estimated in the pre-simulation, and it is used for altitude control. The performance of the designed algorithm was verified by simulations and flight tests.
