AIR TRAFFIC
EXPERIMENT IN ENGLAND. A "ONE-WAX ".SYSTEM. (British Official wireless,) (United Press Association.) - (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) RUGBY, August 11. Owing to the large number of aerodromes which now'exist west of London, and to the consequent large amount of air traffic, the Air Ministry has introduced an experimental " one-way ” system' similar to that adopted in the London streets for motor traffic. The object is to minimise as far as possible the risk of collision between aircraft flying from one aerodrome to another, A restricted area has been defined over each aerodrome, and aeroplanes wishing to fly from one aerodrome to another have to fly around this. The airmen are requested to fly from the aerodrome of departure to the edge of the restricted area by the shortest possible route. They are then to fly round the restricted area in an anti-clockwise direction and turn into the aerodrome of destination from the edge of the area. Aeroplanes' flying on a course which passes over the area are requested to keep above 2000 ft.
