Extract

The practical feasibility of blind take-off, landing and rolling to a stop has been adequately demonstrated, and both ground and airborne facilities are now being provided which will permit its progressive implementation operationally. Thus, one of the major questions remaining to be answered is the extent to which supporting airfield facilities are required to be improved in order to match the landing capability.

The present paper represents a contribution to discussion of the problems involved in ensuring that airport ground movements of both aircraft and vehicles can continue efficiently, and of the various measures which can be taken to minimize these problems. The conclusions drawn represent the opinions of the Blind Landing Experimental Unit, based upon the limited information which so far is available on this topic, and thus do not necessarily reflect firm U.K. policy since this must involve further study and investigation.
