RADI LANDINGS T0BE MADE HERE Washington Airport to Be Equipped With Latest Equipment. Installation of radio compass equip- ment for blind approaches and land- ings will be started at Washington Airport on or before June 1, accord- ing to an announcement today by the Bureau of Air Commerce. The local installation, for experimental purposes, Will be a part of the development of radio aids to blind landings at 12 air- ports in various parts of the countr: This equipment, is is hoped, will pre vent such accidents as that ‘which caused the death in Missourl last week | of Senator Bronson Cutting The radio blind-landing transmitters, one of which is to be installed here, now are being constructed for the Bureau of Air Commerce by the Army Alr Corps at Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. The bureau decided last No- vember to adopt the Army system, developed largely by Capt. Albert Heg- enberger, who has just been ordered to Washington for duty at Bolling Pleld. An order for the sets was placed at that time. Winner Sails ACTRESS GETS MEDAL FOR STAGE WORK. Copyright, A. P, Wirephoto. Vidal Sees Safety Aid. “The blind-landing or blind approach | system, as it is also known. will add materially to the safety and relia- bility of air transportation.” it was explained by Eugene L. Vidal, director of air commerce, in announcing the| plans for immediate installation of he equipment. | ¢ “Oe:cepthe system is installed, and 1t it proves as dependable in service usage as during the 12 months we had it under test, the safety and de- pendability of air transportation should compare very favorably with ground transportation.” Rex Martin, assistant director of air commerce for air navigation, will be in direct charge of the survey and installation work, which will be car- ried out by E. A. Cutrell, noted blind landing and instrument pilot; Bennett Griffin, trans-Atlantic fiyer, who also has had extensive experience in blind fiving and blind landing, and A. J. La Bale, in charge of electric power con- tracts, all of the Bureau of Air Com- merce, and W. S. Hinman, jr., Bureau of Standards radio engineer. Lights to Be Installed. In addition to the radio installa- tions, the equipment lo be installed at Washington Airport and other blind-landing flields will include "a chain of lights on a straight line of | approach to the principal runway for a distance of 2,700 feet. Two rows of lights flush with the ground will be installed down the center of the runway to provide visual direction to the pilot after he has ceased to use his radio for locating the appreach to the edge of the airport. Thorough studies of the effectiveness of these lights will be made at the local air- port and at the Newark, N. J.,.ter- minal before further .nstallations are | made. Blind spproaches to Washington Airport, with minimum low ceiling re- quirements yet to be announced, will be permitted with passengers after proper training of airline pilots oper- ating out of this city, the Department of Commerce announced. Totally blind landings under zero-gero condi- tions, however, will not be permitted with passengers during the earller stages of its use. Two Radio Stations. The radio installation here will in- clude two radio stations transmitting on different frequencies, one located about 1,500 feet from the airport, the other about two miles away. At each of these stations there will be a sec- ondary transmitter acting as a radio marker beacon to flash on a light in the airplane cockpit when the plane | passes over the transmitier. In determining the location of these stations, the Bureau »f Air Commerce experts will study prevailing winds. the safest approaches and runway | facilities. Wind direction prevalent under conditions of poor visibility | will be a determining factor. Ob- structions in the vicinity of the air- port also must be taken into consider- ation. TWO ART GROUPS MEET IN CAPITAL THIS WEEK Art from A to Z, from the Orient to Iowa and from ancient Greece to modern Europe will be discussed in Washington this week.
