Subject: FAA Plans Satellite Guided Landing System At Reagan


The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plans to launch a new satellite
guided landing system at Washington's Reagan National Airport to allow
airliners to land in weather that at present would force them to divert to
another airport.According to The Washington Post, the plan was conceived
before the September 11 terrorist attacks to boost airport capacity in poor
weather.FAA officials said it also could benefit security improvements to
allow the FAA, the military and the Secret Service to more closely track
planes in flight near National down the Potomac River past the White House.
