Abstract	The F/A-18E/F/G aircraft employs a precision landing mode (PLM) to ease the burden of landing on a carrier. This presentation discuss how the NAVAIR engineering group was tasked to improve the availability of PLM. The fleet was not fully committed on using the mode until redundancy could be improved. The team looked at how to take an autopilot like mode and make it become fully available with any first failure. All inputs, sensors, and output associated with PLM was examined for redundancy. The solution had to be software based. The presentation discusses the solutions and challenges that made it succeed.
