Blind Landing

When darkness falls, storms rage, fog settles, or lights fail, pilots are forced to make "instrument landings," relying on technology and training to guide them through typically the most dangerous part of any flight. In this original study, Erik M.

When darkness falls, storms rage, fog settles, or lights fail, pilots are forced to make "instrument landings," relying on technology and training to guide them through typically the most dangerous part of any flight. In this original study, Erik M. Conway recounts one of the most important stories in aviation history: the evolution of aircraft landing aids that make landing safe and routine in almost all weather conditions.Discussing technologies such as the Loth leader-cable system, the American National Bureau of Standards system, and, its descendants, the Instrument Landing System, the MIT-Army-Sperry Gyroscope microwave blind landing system, and the MIT Radiation Lab's radar-based Ground Controlled Approach system, Conway interweaves technological change, training innovation, and pilots' experiences to examine the evolution of blind landing technologies. He shows how systems originally intended to produce routine, all-weather blind landings gradually developed into routine instrument-guided approaches. Even so, after two decades of development and experience, pilots still did not want to place the most critical phase of flight, the landing, entirely in technology's invisible hand. By the end of World War II, the very concept of landing blind therefore had disappeared from the trade literature, a victim of human limitations.

Over the next 45 minutes, the temporarily blinded Mr. Schechter followed one calm instruction after another from Thayer, who flew beside him, just feet away. Severely wounded, Mr. Schechter finally managed a safe landing on a remote Army dirt strip.

The podcast takes an in-depth look into what happened at individual all-around competition at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. That, you may recall, was the day the gymnasts all crashed their vaults. One after the other. The American Elise Ray had a near-disastrous warmup vault in which she came perilously close to landing on her neck, then sat her competition vault. Svetlana Khorkina of Russia, the favorite for gold, landed on her knees and was out of the running. Sixteen others throughout the first two rotations of the competition: Fall, fall, fall.

Slater returns later in the show, after telling her story of righting the vault by refusing to leave the landing mat during warmups. She acknowledges that she had a special relationship with her coach, and that it was unusual for the time.

The passengers of a Delta Air Lines Airbus A320 got the fright of their lives on Friday on their way from Boston to Salt Lake City when the pilots of the airliner flew into a storm with extreme hail but subsequently managed to make an improvised emergency landing in Denver.

The plane started a rocking motion on its final approach, realizing it could not land the pilots attempted an emergency landing. However, the pilots lost situational awareness and crashed into a swamp. [2]

Fishing is permitted, except on waterfowl rest areas (until the end of waterfowl season), waterfowl areas as posted during waterfowl season, and within 250 yards of an occupied blind on the open river. Commercial fishing is allowed within the management areas by permit only.

All waterfowl hunting must be done from within a staked and registered waterfowl blind, except at Red's Landing, RipRap Landing, Turner Island, Kelly Island, and 12 Mile Island where walk-in areas are provided. The northern acquisition at Rip Rap Landing is closed to waterfowl hunting.

Hunters must report to the check station, fill out the information card, show hunting license and receive required materials before proceeding to blinds. Registered blind builders must report to the check station one hour before shooting time each day in order to claim their blind. Blinds not claimed by blind builders at this time will be available for assignment by drawing. Additional assignment of vacant or vacated blind will resume at 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Because of budget limitations, this procedure may change. Check with the site office before coming to hunt.

Red's Landing is open to all hunting by site and statewide regulations; access by walk-in or boats without motors only. Hunting from legal opening until 12:00 p.m. daily, no access before 4:00 a.m. daily. No permanent blinds. Hunting parties will not hunt over less than 12 decoys or more than 24. Decoys must be picked up daily. No vehicles allowed.
