BARNABY SLEEPS IN THE SKY (P-0172), the film's aim is to set potential passengers minds' at ease about other aspects of flying than pilot competence. Using a painting of J.A.D. McCurdy and the flight of the Silver Dart in February 1909 as a focus point, the narrator explains the job of the flight dispatch officer, the air traffic controller and the meteorology section of the Department of Transport. Detailed explanations of fuel consumption calculations are given, as well as all available methods of aerial navigation, including pilotage, dead reckoning, celestial reckoning (as methods of visual flying) and radio beam signals, Loran beacons, radio compass and radar landing systems (as methods of instrument flying).Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
