I heard on the radio that a small plane from Chicago went missing in the

fog
during a landing attempt at the Toronto City Centre Airport.
This morning I see in the newspaper that the plane and the pilot have been
located at the bottom of Lake Ontario. The plane was a Beechcraft that

could
seat six people.
There has been no known reason, as yet, as to the cause of the crash,

according
to the article.
I think this type of crash may be preventable, if it was due to poor

visibility, by the
construction of radio signal buoys parallel to the runways lights and a

simple
receiver on board light aircraft. Or visible laser beams criss crossing

over the runway.
All of this technology is available, is it not?


Don't take this as a flame or a slam.

It is becoming more and more apparent to me (and others, I would think) that
you are new to aviation. As a place to learn, this is a great forum. I do
have a suggestion that will keep you from coming off as a know-it-all, or an
ass.

As in the case of this post, instead of suggesting a solution to a problem,
why not come out with a question, as to what is available? You will get
answers, but without making yourself look foolish.

In other words, be humble, confess that you don't know it all, and seek
answers. It will keep your reputation much less unstained.

YMMV.
