HC Deb 25 June 1969 vol 785 c282W
73. Sir J. Vaughan-Morgan

asked the President of the Board of Trade what equipment is now available at Gatwick Airport to estimate aircraft approach heights now that the position approach radar equipment has been withdrawn.

Mr. William Rodgers

Pilots report their height as shown by altimeters when air traffic control need this information. Sample monitoring for noise abatement purposes of adherence to glide-path height will be resumed as soon as the radar equipment now being prepared can be brought into operation.
