U.S.AIRBUREAU
TESTS SAFETY
OF AIRP0RTS

A sweeping series of surveys,
which may result in drastic
changes in airport construction at
every metropolitan city in the ma
ton, was launched yesterday by
the Bureau of Air Commerce.
The object of the survey Is TO
determine the exact distance In
which a modern airliner can take
off in safety. An elaborate Scien-
tific telephone and theodolite
apparatus has been set up along
the new 4,200-foot runway at
Washington Airport by Air Com
merce experts in an attempt to
"clock" this safe take-off distance.
Because 500 feet is the mini
mum safe altitude in which it Is
possible for a modern transport
plane to turn around and land at
the field from which it took off
in the event of engine failure. the
new survey may call for whole
sale remodeling of airportS.
If, in cities where airportS are
located in congested areas, it is
found buildings adjacent to the
airports make it impossible for a
pilot to turn his ship around
within an adequate 500-foot
"clear'' zone costly Federal or
municipal purchasing of property
will be necessary, it was said.
