Paper surveys present status of all-weather landing systems; Federal Aviation Agency has begun certifying airports, aircraft and air carriers for lower landing minima, aiming toward ultimate goal of zero/zero; military services, especially U S Navy, are on their way to achieving safe, automatic, all-weather landing capability tailored to special needs; in Great Britain, blind landing systems have been used for many years and in France experiments were carried out with several all-weather systems; paper shows that blind landing is technologically feasible; competing all-weather systems vary in manner of data derivation and degree of pilot interface between electronic sensors and aircraft controls.
