Flightwatch is an instrument intended to help him. On a screen in front of the pilot, there will be a map of th
37、e airspace around the plane. The pilots own flight level or height and his own plane at the center of the screen will show up. On the map any other planes in the airspace will appear as blobs (点状)of light with “tails” showing the direction of their flight. The flightwatch map is unusual, for the oth
38、er planes are not shown at their true ranges (范围), but at their distance away in flying time. That gets over the problem of fast planes being too far away to be seen but likely to make contact in seconds and slow planes that are close enough to be seen but so slow that theres no chance of contact fo
39、r, say, ten minutes. The pilot will be able to see on the screen whether another planes course conflicts with his own. The screen will show him the flight number of the other plane, so he can contact air traffic control and ask them about the other planes course, then he can take avoiding action if
40、necessary. The screen will show him whether his action puts him in danger from yet another aircraft. Technically, the system will be quite complex. Computers will be necessary on the ground and in each aircraft to enable flightwatch to collect data about the planes courses and to calculate the dista
41、nces between planes. But such small computers are now quite cheap, simple and reliable. 1. A pilot is dependent on _ for his safe flight.

43、mputers C. a flightwatch map and small computers D. blobs and tails 5. The computers are _. A. large B. neither large nor small C. small D. not mentioned Passage 2 For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before.
