That is a considerably higher figure than the world wide incidence rate of 47%, and it has caused fresh alarm on the part of air safety experts about the adequacy of instrument-landing equipment at U.S. airports. Bad weather-or weather that required instrument landings-was a factor in at least four of the six approach crashes, and safety experts point out that less than a third of the nation's 623 commercial airports have...
