The Problem of Landing Commercial Aircraft in Fog*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 July 2016

Summary

  1. (1) Survey of the present methods of carrying out air transport service when visibility is bad.

  2. (2) What is essentially required of technical aids for landing under bad weather conditions.

  3. (3) Short survey of current German methods for solving the problem of landing in fog.

The necessity for being able to carry out air transport unhindered by weather conditions is inseparably associated with the idea of commercial air service. This great problem of “ flight in any weather ” has confronted us since the inception of regular services between places having corresponding traffic needs, that is to say, since the very birth of air transport.
