Description: Having shown the conventional method of landing a plane in 'Air traffic control: Heathrow', this program examines one possible system to increase reliability and efficiency through use of a computer. This system is computer-assisted approach sequencing, or CAAS. It would be concerned with aircraft approaching major airports. CAAS would involve a substantial alteration to the existing system, and at time of filming, was still in the testing stages. This involves simulation; the program shows something of the physical set-up and the problems involved.-
