They can't even track planes coming into their own airport. They need binoculars to see the aircraft. So on a cloudy or foggy day they're screwed.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043107612277355470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661737.post-27557490301503431292012-03-26T08:55:45.603-05:002012-03-26T08:55:45.603-05:00TY., steve.

The link to that report no longer works on the City of Worcester Website.<br /><br />There are three categories of Instrument Landing Systems, known as (brilliantly) Category I, Category II and Category III.<br /><br />Category I, which I'm pretty sure ORH has, will guide a plane down to 200 feet above the ground.

So what is jetblue talking about when they say orh needs to improve the navigational system?????? Is it massport or the airliners?

This statement is such hogwash.<br /><br /> And dare I ask, what airport doesnt have a passenger terminal, lighting systems, navigational aids, and a control tower? Sterling airport maybe? No wait maybe they do have all of these.
