Nav-Canada checks out airport's ILS

Brandon Sun - The brand-new Instrument Landing System at the Brandon Municipal Airport has successfully completed its first official test run.

Installation of the $1.6-million system -- which will provide precision guidance for aircraft approaching the runway using a combination of radio signals and high-intensity lights on the ground -- is complete, and Nav-Canada officials made the trek to Brandon to undertake the flight commissioning Wednesday.
