WNED 24 HOURS A DAY
Easterwood’s FAA Station
Means Safety In The Skies
Easterwood Airport, just
of the campus, a small clus-
(of rooms on the side of a han-
isthe key to life for aviators
? in this area.
« Federal. Aviation Agency
at Easterwood is filled to
owing with radio consols,
ie(senders and receivers and
navigation controls. This
|lexity of wire and tubes is
for one thing. To help the
Ido its job.
liir mission is to promote a
land efficient flow of air traf-
said H. G. Kindrick, a mem-
tithe FAA staff.
® the master radio consol
ffi reports are fed to hungry
in the air twice each hour,
reports are collected from
the nation' by one of the
separate teletype networks
sented in the office.
The second set of teletype ma
chines is used for aircraft control
and movement messages. This net
is the lifeline of air control coordi
nation. Through the clacking of its
keys, news of congested altitudes
and flight patterns is flashed to
concerned points.
An operator at the master con
sol can make contact with any air
craft within range on any of the
authorized aircraft -frequencies or
channels issued to either civilian
or military planes.
In addition to the standard com
munications frequencies available
at the flick of a switch, the Omni,
or air navigation beacons, can be
tuned in.
The Omni, operated by the FAA
as a standard service, sends out a
radio beam with the call letters of
the sending station at frequent in
tervals. If the airplane is equipped
with Omni receiving apparatus it
can get a “fix” on its position by
zeroing in on the beam and con
sulting special maps with trans--
mitting stations marked by call
signs.
This one factor alone has helped
many pilots when they were un
sure of their position.
A large glass-fronted metal cab
inet sits next to the consol. This
contains the teletype relays and
repeaters. When a teletype mes
sage to some other FAA station
passes along the Easterwood line,
it is relayed by a mechanism that
punches the original message into
a paper tape and then re-transmits
the message.
Meanwhile the signal with the
call sign “CLL” continues and 48
times a day the weather forecast
is beamed from a hangar at Eas
terwood.
