especially a pleasure to

witness the calm and

be cut ‘substantially by

changing the track that ~

aircraft use to approach

there is reasonable hope
for future changes leading
to improved flight perfor-
mance.

The possibility of in-

stalling microwave land-

ing equipment was
discussed, Morris said,
but he noted the system
would have limited ap-
plication here because on-

ly aircraft with specialized
instruments would be able

to use it. Redesigning the

way the existing conven-

tional equipment is used

will yield more compre-
hensive results, he stated. .
“We haven't pulled all the

‘rabbits out of the hat yet
to see what they look

like,”? Morris said.
“There’s still a lot of

work to be done,’’ he con-

cluded. ‘‘It was a positive
