All weather operations and equipment

Abstract

Held at the Institution of Electrical Engineers, the international conference on “The Future of Aircraft All Weather Operations” attracted contributions on a wide variety of topics. The first was on operational requirements and G. E. Selves and J. O. Clark of British Airways referred to the ICAO objectives used as a guide in provisioning equipment and approving operating procedures. All weather operations are based on a total system including the ground equipment, and the aircraft and its equipment as well as the procedures referred to. Crew training is of great importance, and the lock of suitable ground facilities outside Europe and the USA gives cause for concern.
