PLACED
FOR BLIND LANDING
installation at Airport in New.
ark, N. j., AcoompIishes
Long.Sought Goal.

One Of the goals for which aviation
leaders have been striving for many
years was reached today when, after
successful trials Thursday, the worlds
first blind landing" equipment was in
stalled for service trials at an air
transport terminal, the Department Of
Commerce announced yesterday.
The installation was made at Newark
Municipal Airport, Newark, N. j..
terminal airport for New York, at which
two transcontinental and the Atlantic
seaboard networks OF air transport lines
have their terminals, after tests In
which blind landings were made by
Col. Clarence M. Young. Assistant Sec.
rotary OF Commerce for Aeronautics,
and Department of Commerce pilots.
The system has been refined to a
point which will make possible com.
pletely blind landing in which the
pilot cannot see outside his cockpit,
Col. Young explained This condition
probably never will be encountered In
actual practice. since there are few
II any fogs which do not permit vision
for q few feet
The equipment installed by the De-
partment of Commerce at Newark will
be available for the use Of all airplanes
equipped with necessary radio equip
800 eyot OPGi ntIu Wy
gives direction In three dimensionc-
lateral. longitudinal and vertical, it was
explained, providing all the information
required by the pilot to make a land
ing. Lateral direction is given by a
runway localizing beacon. longitudinal
direction by marker beacons and verti-
cal guidance by landing beam. The
airplane equipment required weighs
only Is pounds more than regular radio
equipment, 1t was said.
Development of the system installed
at Newark follows years of research
work by the aeronautics branch of
the Department Of Commerce and the
Bureau OF Standards at College Park
Airport. College Park, Md, where the
first blind landings by any pilots other
than Maj. James H. Doolittle and Capt
Albert F. Hegenberger, OF the Army
Air Corps. were made.
