Washington up the Federal aviation administration has developed an airborne computer system that warns pilots of potential collisions with other aircraft and gives directions on How to avoid them. Faa officials said the traffic Alert and collision avoidance system dubbed teas would make the skies safer when installed by commercial carriers on their jetliners in the coming years. The government does not plan to order the airlines to make the installation but it expects major carriers to do it on their own. Early next year Piedmont airlines will Fly the first air Craft in commercial service to be equipped with the collision avoidance system. The system is estimated to Cost Between $50,000 and $70,000 for each aircraft considered a Small investment in helping protect multimillion Dollar air planes. The airlines and the government have invested heavily to perfect the device which uses time not distance As it measures the threat of collision Between two aircraft. A cockpit computer tracks All transponder equipped planes that Are nearby and projects the time that each will take to collide with the aircraft. All commercial aircraft and most other planes Are equipped with transponders devices that receive signals and Send Back responses on crucial information regarding air plane locations. Just 40 seconds before a threat of a mid air crash the collision avoidance system gives out a loud beep in the cockpit and advises the Pilot with a synthetic voice to either climb or descend to avoid an Acci Dent. The warning is repeated a few seconds later and the beep stays on unless the Pilot executes the change in Altitude. The Faa demonstrated the system last week to a Small group of reporters aboard a plane whose Pilot carefully executed several planned near collisions. Every time another aircraft came close the collision avoidance system alerted the Pilot Joe fee acting manager for the project at the Federal Agency said the device especially useful in Remote desert areas would comple ment the existing air traffic control system. It worked perfectly fee said of the demonstration. The test showed the system is ready to go on aircraft it is probably the Best tested system the Faa has Ever had. The device might have prevented the nov. 10 collision of a Smalt private plane and an executive Jet in Northern new Jersey in which six people were killed including one on the ground. The last major midair crash involving t commercial . Carrier took place in san Diego seven years ago. A total of 144 peo ple died in the collision of a Pacific South West airlines Boeing 727 and a Cessna 172. Faa officials said the collision avoidance system probably could have averted thai tragedy. Oil Well to be used for quake research Stanford Calif. A an Earth Ouake researcher plans to deepen an abandoned Wildcat Oil Well to 3.1 Miles and place seismic measuring instruments inside in order to study the san Andreas fault. The $3.5 million project the first of its kind has already won preliminary approval from the National science foundation Stanford University geophysics professor Mark Zoback said. Zoback who expects to get his drilling team working next summer said the Well now about 1.24 Miles deep is just cast of the fault Trace near Cajon pass in san Ber Nardino in Southern California. The instruments will measure Earth motions transmitted from the fault through the hard Rock around the Hole. Zoback was chief of the is.
