the inspector just what leg Of the
beam he is flying (such as New York
Washington or Washington Rich
mond). AS he approaches the trans
mitter, the course marked by the
beam narrows down and becomes very
sharp-about as wide as a dazor edge,
some pilots sav-which calls for pre-
cision flying. Directly over the station
radio towers, the signals suddenly
cease.
Gone Of Silence Important.
This is known as the cone OF silence.
If the pilot isn't careful or doesn't
know his beam flying, he may not
pass through this dead zone, and that
Is why the inspector insists upon being
told by the pilot when he has picked
up the station.
Usually the airport is two or three
miles away from the towers, and from
this invisible milestone in the air, the
pilot is required to make a blind ap-
proach to the airport. He Is still
under the hood, but as he glides to
within a couple hundred feet Of the
ground. the inspector takes over the
controls and sometimes permits the
applicant to look out from under the
hood to see how close he came to
making the correct approach for
landing blind. He then lands the
ship.
Ice formation on planes was said
to have been reported by several pi-
lots on the day that the T. W. A.
Sun Racer crashed near Uniontown.
Pa. Ice has been one of aviation's
greatest enemies, but 1t is being con-
quered. Planes now have de-icers
on the leading edges Of the wings.
They are made of rubber and are
popularity called 'overshoes." When
ice begins to form the pilot releases
air into the rubber covering and in
fiates it; this breaks up the ice. which
is blown of the wings as the plane
speeds through the air. The de-
icer is also used on the leading edges
of the tail surfaces.
A more recent development in the
war against ice is the Singer ring"
which fits on the propeller hub and
can spray an anti-ice liquid, alcohol
or alcohol and glycerin, on the rapidly
revolving blade. 1t can be operated
! continuously to keep ice from FORM
ing on the propeller.
