op- peor fairly simple. Actually, how- ever, before political questions aris- ing could be settled to the satisfac- tion of all concerned, and the neces- sary aerial 'rights of way' obtained, It was a matter not of months but of years of pollent negotiations.

MANY PROBLEMS

That example is typical of others. First of all, in the scheme for any new airway-and more particularly for any long-distançe_route passing over different countries-there are political and financial problems to be studied, negotiated, and overcome. Also of great importance and often of considerable dificulty--are pre- liminary surveys as to the actual line Na- to be followed by the service. turally it must pass over territory suitable from a flying point of view; while it is equally important that it should serve

centres of As many population as possible. Then there is the question of arranging for land 'dromes or marine air porta. These, of course, must conform to flying needs, from the view-point of all- weather operation. They must also be as near as possible to neighbour- ing centres of population.

And over and above this there are all sorts

of questions affecting wire- less communication and signalling, establishment of moleorological services, and the provision of ade- quate installations of nerodromic lighting.

the

TYPE OF AIRCRAFT

over

Of course, a big problem concerns the actual type of aircraft which are to operate

any given route, cither lundplanes or flying boats. Many factors may have to be con eldered here—the geographical and climate nature of the route, the height of aerodromes above sea-level, the general nature of the loads that will be forthcoming. All such ques tions may influence the design of new fleet of aircraft, affecting the cruising speeds to be scheduled, and the amount of space provided in the Interiors of machines for various kinds of pay-load.

The. organisation and operation of each great trunk route furnishes problems which are peculiar to this particular route, and which have to be studied and grappled with Indi- vidually, For this reason it is not practicable to take any particulur type of aircraft and argue that, be- cause it may be ideal for some speci- de form of service, it would be equally suitable when operating un- der different geographical, climatic, Ac- and load-carrying conditions. tually the type of aircraft employed, the speeds maintained, and the gene- ral operating questions, have to be governed by the partlcular nature of whatever trunk route may be under review.

GROUND ORGANISATION

I mentioned just now that it is a common thought among many people that all that is necessary to start on nir line is to buy an aero- plane fill it with passengers' and cargo and the whole thing is fixed, The first essential is, of course, the aeroplane. The

ground organisation to enable that aeroplane to get to its destination safely.

next

The ground organisation comprises a number of Rems, each dependent on the other. There must be emer- gency landing grounds suitably situated along the route in order that the pilot may land if he finds his home aerodrome closed in.

An elaborate weather organisation must be storted thus enabling the pilot to have a picture as it were of the weather and winds he is likely to encounter on his journey. Detail working of Royal Observatory,
