FAA Plans to Develop
Automatic All-Weather
Airplane Landing System
WASHINGTON UP> — The Fed
eral Aviation Agency said Saturday
it has chosen Airborne Instru
ments Laboratory Deer Park,
N.Y., to develop an advanced ex
perimental automatic all-weather
airplane landing system.
The system could become avail
able for use in the 1970s, the FAA
said. The contract to the firm, a
division of Cutler-Hammer, Inc.,
is for $1,082,600.
The system, based on radio
guidance techniques, would scan
the sky above the airport from
two installations on the runway,
determine the height, direction and
distance of the airplane, and dis
play the necessary information
both in the airplane cockpit and in
the airport control tower.
The company said this dual
coverage would assure the pilot
and the air traffic controller of
complete and constant coverage of
the airplane’s position, under all
weather conditions, all the way
down to the landing.
“The new system would give the
aircraft, at all times during its
approach to the runway, precise
information on its position in space
in three demensions,” a company
statement said.
The system is designed so that
while this information is given to
the pilot, it can be used by an auto
pilot to control the landing auto
matically if desired, with the pilot
capable of taking over at any time.
The company said it plans to
have a test version of the system
ready for installation at FAA’s
Experimental Center at Atlantic
City, N.J., within two years.
