We have radio signals that parallel the runways, they are called localizers.
Light beams have been tried all the way back to before WWII without any favorable outcomes. Rick Pellicciotti "Wooduuuward" wrote in message ... 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? |
