New VOR Omni Range to Boost Bluefield Air Traffic
Aviation editor reports the installation of a VOR Omni radio range at Mercer County Airport and the movement of the Pulaski CAA station will boost air traffic. Construction to house equipment and power lines begins soon with operation expected before bad weather. The system replaces the ADF, guiding pilots via 360 degree signals, improves instrument landings, and may lower minimums. Seven to nine air traffic staff will operate the Pulaski station at about $80,000 in government costs. Flyovers now ~25 percent are expected to drop as reliability increases and more flights land.
