New Radar Device Prevents Airport Tragedy At Idlewild
A DC-7 inbound from the West Coast avoided disaster after a training aircraft with no lights or radio disappeared from sight on Idlewild’s runway. The tower used a new ground radar system ASDE to track ground activity and guide the DC-7 safely to the loading apron. The incident underscores ASDE’s potential to prevent fog, rain, or night accidents across 15 U.S. airports.
