GET NEW LANDING
AID SYSTEMS
A new type of visual landing
aid has been put into operation
at Anchorage International air
port to assist pilots during peri
ods of restricted visibility, the
Federal Aviation Agency an
nounced today.
The new system, called a vis
ual glide slope indicator
(VGSI), will aid pilots of ap
proaching aircraft not equipped
to use the instrument landing
system to determine their posi
tion by means of lights near the
end of the runway. It will also
serve as an adjunct to aircraft
that are equipped to use the j
instrument landing systems, of
ficials said.
There are only nine other i
VGSI’s in operation throughout
the nation, according to FAA.
A similar system is under con
struction at Bethel and ap
proximately 20 are being built
elsewhere in the United States, j

Vehicle Registration
Date Change Sought
The Alaska Legislature is be
ing asked by Governor William
Egan to change the expiration
date of motor vehicles registra
tions from December 31 to i
March 1.
Under existing law registra- ,
tions expire December 31 and
new license plates must be dis
olaved on all vehicles by Feb
ruary 28. The bill transmitted
to the House for introduction
would change the expiration
date to March 1 and permit
display of the previous year’s
license plates until May 31.
Egan said the present Feb
ruary 28 deadline occurs at a
time when substantial numbers
of Alaska's workers are un
employed. He said the proposed
bill “would lessen the financial
impact on those who are with
out an adequate source of in
come during the winter
months.”
