TERRACE STANDARD Al4 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, April 26, 2000 BusrIngess REVIEW New landing system advancing A LONG-PLANNED me- thod of improving the chances of planes landing at the atrport in bad weather should be in place this fall. A $25,000 cheque given the Terrace-Kitimat Air- port Society last week by 16-37 Community Futures is being used to pay a Ke- lowna campany to design a satellite-based naviga- tional procedure. The new procedure, de- signed for use with a glo- bal positioning system (GPS), means pilots in aircraft carrying the right equipment will be able to Aare come E) Wercone Me AGON ‘AGO!

And that will help them land in conditions which may now result in can- celled landings. Pilots now use beacons and other electronic ground-based equipment to guide them in to a certain point at which time they must be able to see the runway. If not, they have to execute what’s called a missed approach. Last winter, for exam- ple, seven per cent of the flights which tried to land here were scrubbed be- cause of weather, says air- port manager Rick Reed. That was an exception- ally bad year, he noted, in that the average over the last 10 years has been around four per cent, And while a GPS ap- GEORGE CLARK, chair of 16/37 Community Futures, was at the airport to hand over money to airport manager Rick Reed to finance work on a new GPS ijanding system. proach will help reduce that historical four per cent cancellation figure, Reed noted that it won’t be per- fect. “Weather is weather,” said Reed last week. “There’s nothing you can do about it.” Some aircraft and heli- copters using the airport now have GPS equipment on board. But the big push will come in convincing sche- duled air carrier Canadian Regional to install GPS equipment and train its pi- lots. “GPS technology is changing all the time. When the equipment is in and the pilots are trained, we'll be ready,” said Fra- ser Mackie, the secretary of the airport society. Accuratus, the Kelowna company which will do the work, should have the GPS approach finished in a couple of months. It then has to be ap- proved by Transport Cana- da, which could take an- other couple of months. The $25,000 from 17-37 Community Futures comes from Western Economic Diversification, an arm of the federal industry depart- ment, It’s part of a pool of money available for speci- fic community develop- ment needs, says 16-37 manager Joe Whitney, “In a case like this, there is clearly a need,” he said. Two years ago, 16-37 used the same pool to pro- vide money to Stewart to keep its recreation centre iS BACK FOR a limited time only Take A Look MCEWAN GM'S PAINT SPECIAL , Ax Thos! open.
