Need of Landing Device at
McNary Field Gets Stress
BY C. K. LOGAN
Boycott of NcNary field by the Airline Pilots' association dur
ing the winter is faced by Salem unless adequate temporary
landing facilities are made operational before early winter and
successful steps are taken to insure installation of an instrument
landing system in the near future, James Matthews, Seattle,
assistant flight manager for the :
United Air Lines in this area,
declared Tuesday.
Matthews and James Rudolph,
aeronautical agent for the Seat
tle CAA office (safety agent),
came here to meet with W. M.
(Jack) Bartlett, director of the
state board of aeronautics and
the aeronautics committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, J. L.
Frantzen, city manager and
others interested in the local
ituation.
Pilots In Earnest
"Airline pilots are not kidding
when they say they will refuse
to land if conditions do not meet
their personal requirements for
both safety and service and
their's is the final say in the
matter," Matthews declared.
As a result of the meeting
City Manager Franzen was re
quested to get in touch with the
regional office in Seattle to
learn if the ILS request for
Salem has been placed in the
1950 budget now being made up
In Washington, D. C, and to
make strong representation for
immediate action if it is. If it
is not to be included in the
budget it was said that "Salem
is sunk." Request has been
made for the inclusion.
Installation of the ILS re-
squires from three to six months,
and if available now it is prob
able it could not be in operation
before spring. A compass loca
tor, which is included in the
complete installation, could be
ready for use in a few weeks
and would prove sufficient until
the complete installation is
made.
McNary field, it was pointed
out, is the only immediate alter
nate landing place when the
Portland facilities are fog.
bound, and during the early
spring was used by DC-6s which
could not land at either Port
land or Seattle. These will not
use the field under present con
ditions, because of the safety
factor.
It was pointed out that most
of the fatal accidents have oc
curred in a three-miles area
from an airport between a range
station and the field itself,
wnicn is approximately one
minute flying time for the huge
passenger liners. It was also
pointed out that between the
latter part of October and early
spring Salem does not have s
minimum ceiling of 3000 faet
deemed the necessary safety
factor by pilots, and while the
the ceiling here is between 800
and 2500 feet for hours later.
Compass location facilities with
proper range finding will per
mit landings here, whether
these are installed by the ULA
or the city, with the CCA desig
nating the frequency upon which
to operate.
importance airpssra i
The ILS is the only answer to
the problem of getting the pilot'
safely on the field after the
range station is neared. Use of
the present ULA localizer until
final installation is also prob-ble.
Minor projects for improve
ment of the field were lightly
discussed, with Hal Sweeney,
Salem manager for ULA, willing
to install a neon sign at the ad
ministration building designat
ing the stop. It is surprising
how many people land at the
field are unaware that they are
in Salem, the capital of Oregon,
though the stop here is ninth
in commerce on the system,
Sweeney said.
Also attending the meeting
were Roy Harlan, president of
the Chamber of Commerce and
Burr Miller, representing the
aeronautics committee; Wayne
Hadley, Junior Chamber of

and placed it on his neck.
Then waited. In a few min

his cheeks and neck to stay
with their queen.
