TURBINE TAXI

The operations of executive jet air transportation companies are described. In these generally small scale services, flexibility of personnel is paramount, as often one individual will be called upon to perform a variety of tasks. A radar tracking technique is described that permits the pilot to monitor drift from his course. The technique is particularly useful on long sea crossings.
