All very well Mr Mittal. We can look at places that don't have an ILS or even an effective radar intallation. Birmingham AL comes to mind. If the FAA cannot ensure a 100 tonne wide body UPS can get safely down at BHM why should we trust that this system will work? I am sure the FAA and Lockheed workers get along very well together. While all this is productive maybe a few FAA staff can mind the local store and get some effective radar installed at places like KBHM.
