w of Brilliant Lights to Guide
Pilots to Safe LANDINGS Here

In a few weeks. a bright new
missing link" of additional safety
win be officially welded to the
landing system at National Air
port.
This is the revolutionary set OF
high-intensity approach lights
which fan out in a giant ''V'' in
the Potomac River south of the
airport.
Although the lights have been
operating for the last couple OF
days. they will not be commits
stoned" or put into Official use
for several weeks. to give pilots
time to get acquainted with the
system.
The Civil Aeronautics Admins
trationt however, gave a press pre-
view last night, including several
passes over the "slopeline'
lights.
Penetrating Brilliance.
The lights were set at the low
est OF five adjustable brilliancies,
because the visibility during the
preview flight was good.
RS when the visibility is down
around half a mile that the
"slopeline" will show its real
mettle. And even at several hun
dred feet. the new lights will
spear through almost anything. -

formation he needs" explained

A pilot coming in has use of

hits the runway. The missing

the Ills. explained Capt. Horne. is
the powerful new "slopeline."
The new system replaces single

tional for several years. The neon
lights, not nearly as bright as the
high-intensity ones and not reach
ing as far out in the water. will be
removed when the 'slopeline" is
commissioned.
One of Eight Installations.
The installation here of the new
approach system is the eighth in
The United States. A similar "V''
has been in action for about a
year at the Arcate tCalif0 Air
port. and others are at Cleveland,
