j Centralia Sisters
.Star At Goderich
Ry GLENN COWAN .
j The second of three swimming i
meets, featuring teams from
■ Centralia, Goderich and St.
.Marys was held at Goderich on
i Friday,* August 24* I had the op-
’ portunity to cover this meet, and
' from the Centralia point of view,
’ there were some events which
deserve special comment.
Outstanding among the after
noon’s performers were the
Walls sisters, Helen, Carol and
Grace, who were successful in
placing well in every race in
which they took part. Helen man
aged to attain first place in the
girl’s I2-year-old crawl face, se
cond place in the 13-year
crawl and second place in the
15-year crawl. In the breast
| stroke races, she won first place
In the 12 and 13-year-old races,
and second in the 15. She fea-
| tured prominently in the back-
stroke events, taking first place
in the 12-year-old race ana se-
Apparently unsatisfied with her
efforts in these races, she went
on to place first in the 13 and
15-year-old underwater events.
In the 13 year crawl, Carol suc
ceeded in attaining third place
to keep sister Helen company.
In the girl’s team events, the
three sisters were at their very
best. In the open crawl relay for
girls, Helen, Carol and Grace
strongly supported by Fleurette
Allaert, walked away with the
■race. Finally to cap their. efforts
for the afternoon, the three
sisters made .a family affair of
the medley relay. They, won the
race hands down in spite of
strong opposition from a deter
mined St. Marys and Goderich
team.
Special commendations are due
to Wendy Blann for her fine
showing in achieving second
place in the girl’s 12. year und^r
water race, and third in the
same race for the 13 and 15 Vear
olds. • • '
The boys also produced good
showings all round. Most note
worthy were the efforts of Roy
Lavin, who swam in all the
events for- his age group, and
managed to place in all of them,
including a first place in the un
derwater swim for 12 year olds.
In the medley relay, a team con
sisting of Lloyd. Egan', Roy Lavin
and Brian Fisher took second
place. Centralia was lagging<;at
the end of the first length, but a
valiant swim by Roy Lavin
against a boy older and stronger
than himself brought the team up
again into a good second position.
. The afternoon was a great suc
cess, and although Centralia en
ded the meet in the low position
for. points, it was obvious that
among the youngsters from this
station there are some very
strong and capable swimmers.

’ Throughout an average working
iday, when the weather is toler-
| ably good, and it is possible to
I get in a good day’s flying, the
1 people of Exeter and the sur-
(rounding district will hear the
i constant roar of aircraft ovex1
their homes.
| It may well seem, in view of
this practically constant stream
of traffic, that there is a contin
uous flow of aircraft roaring off
| haphazardly from the runways,
I with little or no semblance ‘ of
I control being kept on their move
ments. Casual visitors to the
field during an average flying
day would be convinced of this
if they were to watch the Cen
tralia circuit for any length of
time. :
All that would be apparent to
an observer unfamiliar with the
complexities of control, would be
a large conglomeration of air
craft taxying, taking-off, landing
and positioning themselves all
around the circuit area, with a
view in mind to carrying out one
of these aforementioned man
oeuvres.
However, it is not too well rea
lised just how complete is the
control over all this traffic. The
hub of the whole controlling sys
tem is, of course, the control
tower with its attendant opera
tions room. This building is a
landmark to all who pass reason
ably close to the station.
By day, the large, glass enclosed control' room at the top of
the tower is readily apparent to
the observer. During the hours of
darkness, a rotating white light,
visible over many miles, marks
the position of the tower.
Strive For Safety
Within the building, a complex
plan is' constantly being put into
practise, and improved upon.
This plan; despite its complexity,
has one very simple aim. That
aim is to be of such assistance
to the pilot of an aircraft as may
be possible in order that that
pilot, may complete his flight in
conditions of maximum safety.
The large control room, from
where the direct control of traf
fic originates, is situqted some
80 feet above the ground, and
weh above the level of the sur-
rounMig buildings. It affords ex
cellent visibility to the control
ling staff, of aircraft in the air
locally, and off all traffic opera
ting on the ground on the air
field proper. •
The equipment used in the
tower is predominantly in the
field of radio. This is mostly j
equipment in the VHF or Very!
High,Frequency band. Except in;
the case of aircraft or ground
vehicles which do not possess
ra.dio facilities, all orders and re
quests are transmitted to and
from the aircraft by voice.
In the case where it is neces
sary to control traffic which does
not possess any radio, a simple
system of colored lights or
colored pyrotechnics is used.
This system is standard through
out Canada on military and civil
airports, and so there is very
I
,_j in
formation on boards at the cen
tre.Should the. aircraft fail to ar
rive at its destination, an arri
val report being filed at all times i
by the controlling facilities at the |
destination airport, the centre
can start action to commence a
Search and Rescue operation
from one of the Rescue Co-ordin
ation Centres closest to the air
craft’s last known position. j
Must Watch Wind Diraction
Should the aircraft file a flight |
plan, declaring its intention to
fly from point to point in cloud, it
j is not allowed to leave the ground
' until it has received a clearance
j from ATC. It is one of the re-
I sponsibilities of the qualified ‘B’
i stand to obtain this clearance.
! The reason for the clearance
s is quite straight-forward. An air-
> craft flying in qloud is totally
; blind and must navigate its way
j along the flight planned route
i using the-radio navigational aids
I available. Naturally, other air-
i craft are quite invisible to it, and
it is necessary for a controlling
agency to separate the aircraft
with due regard to other aircraft
flying along the same, or con
verging routes in.cloud.
The controller at Toronto has to fit the aircraft into the pattern j
of other traffiq, in such a way
as to preclude all possibility of
aerial collison between it and
other aircraft, and to provide for
its journey, facilities allowing"
for its safety $t all times along
the route of fljght. He has to pre
pendant on the other traffic in
hand which includes concise
route instructions and an assign
ed altitude to which the aircraft
must adhere rigidly .through
out its flight. The conditions
governing^- such an instrument
flight may not.be changed unless
the pilot requests and receives
a new clearance from the control
ling facility.
Such flights are referred to as
IFR flights, which means, flight
conducted in accordance with In
strument Flight Rules. The clear
ance as relayed from the Toronto
Control Centre to the aircraft,
through the medium' of the ‘B’
stand, is precisely worded. There
fore it can be seen that an er
ror in reception on the part of
the ‘B’ Stand, be it in figures or
in ropte instructions can easily
cause the deaths of many peo
ple. Pride is taken in the fact that
such errors are virtually unheard
of. However, pride of achieve
ment never interferes with stan
dards of'efficiency or a constant
state of sharp vigilance.
Co-operate With Operations
Described very briefly, these
are the duties of the staff of the
actual control tower. These men
i little danger of there being a 1
1 misunderstanding of a visual ’
signal given on the part of a'
pilot. iUnder normal circumstances, I
the staff employed on any shift i
in the control tower, consists of J
two people, an officer and an air- >
man. Tho officer fulfills the du-1
ties of controller, and upon his'
shoulders rests the responsibility I
for the control of all traffic with- j
in his Control Zone. He must'
ensure that there is adequate
separation maintained between
aircraft in the air.
This separation may be applied
visually as distance between air
craft when the aircraft are local
and in the view of the controller.
Where the aircraft is under con
trol, but is operating in cloud
in fairly close proximity with
other aircraft in cloud, the con
troller must be able to apply
separation to aircraft based on
the time in minutes between the
different aircraft as they pass
over a recognised check point.
He must be capable of applying
this separation, basing his judg
ment on Such factors as the air
speed of the aircraft, the differ
ent courses which they are steer-,
ing, their actual positions at the
time when they contact him by
radio and their usedof the radio
beacon facilities which are a ne
cessary step to be taken in their
endeavor to descend safely to
earth from a blind flying posi
tion, either in or above cloud.
Musi Receive Clearance
The controlling offficer must be
f.'L _______
dition of his airfield, he ,must
be aware at all times of any un
serviceabilities which may exist
and present a- hazard to aircraft.
He is responsible for the choice of
a runway which will be most
closely in line with the prevailing
wind, and must be ready to
change his runway at a moment’s
notice should the wind change.
This is in order that the wind
may be used to most advantage
during landings and take-offs.
With the conventional type air
craft, it is of the utmost im
portance that the aircraft should
be able to take-off and land into
the wind. By doing this,-an air
craft will be able to derive a
greater lift value from the air,
and thus Its ability to climb
above obstacles will be increased
proportionately.
Should an aircraft be forced
to land with the wind or to take
off with it, its roll along the
ground will be increased propor
tionately, with the possibility that
the pilot may find that he has not
been able to get his wheels off
the ground before passing the end
of a runway, or he may not have
been able to slow his landing
roll sufficiently to prevent his j
taxying off the hardtop surface ------- -------------------------- -----
and into some, obstacle Which ■ work m ^conjunction with jthe
could cause - him considerable ’r'1‘ ‘ .....
grief. ,
Again with an aircraft which, is
forced to land under conditions
of severe cross wind,.'Where'the
wind is at right angles to the line
of flight, difficult problems of
correcting for wind drift are crea
ted, the aircraft when landing or
taking off will have a tendency
to crab sideways, a situation
which could prove disastrous
when the pilot is a student with
a lack of suitable experience.
These duties described are only
some of the prime responsibilities
which the controller must as-,
sume. To go into'detail on all'that
his duties entailed would require
more scope than any newspaper
would be prepared to give. Fur
thermore, the depth to which
these duties delve, while extre
mely intricate, unfortunately does
not make good light reading.
It can be readily seen that the
responsiblities of the flying con
trol officer are complex in the ex
treme, and a great deal of
specialized training plus consider
able practise in the field arc ne
cessary for a complete under
standing, and a succssful com
pletion of his duties.
Train At Grand Bend School
Naturally, to be able to hold
the reins of control, the controller
must be assisted by somebody
who is qualified in the controlling
work in most of its aspects, and
who can carry on the duties re
quired of him in a highly efficient
manner. For this purpose the
School of Flying Control at Grand
Bend provides a steady supply of
qualified aircraft control opera
tors; These men undergo a course
in their trade which is almo'st
equal in intensity to the training
course for controllers. It is simi
lar in many respects except that
some of the subjects arc not
studied quite as deeply as for
controlling work.
The man who fills the assist
ants position in the Tower is re
ferred to as the ‘B’ Stand. The
title is derived from the airman’s
position where he sits at the big
control console. The controller oc
cupies the ‘A* stand position and
the airman occupies the - ‘B’
stand.
‘B’ stand duties involve pri
marily general assistance to the
controller in the handling of
ground traffic control by radio
and by visual signals, the ac
curate recording of all flight
planned traffic arriving at and
departing from the station to and
from other parts of the country,
The airman must know suffi
cient about the controlling end
end of the work to be able to as
sume some of the less exacting of
the controller’s duties during
times of stress, or whenever the
circuit happens to be particularly
busy. He maintains a constant
| liaison with the Air Traffic Con
trol Centre at Toronto handling
tho reporting of the arrival and
departure of traffic on flight plan
to other parts of the country.
Any pilot who files a flight
plan, which is in effect a writ
ten indication of his intension, in
planning the trip from one point
to another, must have his flight
plan passed to the appropriate
I ATC centre together with the
4 time of departure, the estimated
time on route, the true airspeed
I and other pertinent factors. Thus
