Airline pilots warn of deadly risks under current rules
Clarence N. Sayen, president of an airline pilots group, tells senators that under CAA rules pilots can legally kill each other as two aircraft converge at high speeds leaving little time to avoid disaster. He argues safe visual flying is nearly impossible under the see and be seen system. Lt. Gen. Elwood R. Quesada says automatic control may eventually handle air traffic as new aircraft need unified field control. Quesada also notes military jet restrictions at altitudes under 20 000 feet begin immediately as a temporary measure.
