WelcometoFAA
Currently the U.S. airlines are carryingnearly 175 million people a year indomestic and international service.Within the coming decade, that numberwill nearly triple. Today there are morethan 130,000 privately owned aircraftin the U.S. That number will increase by100,000 in 10 years. This volume ofaerial traffic reflects the vigor of Ameri-can aviation, a vigor which is constantlygaining in tempo.
Each of the films in this catalog docu-ments the concern of the Departmentof Transportation's Federal AviationAdministration in supporting aeronauti-cal expansion and in helping to lead theway in air commerce, safety, reliability,and efficiencywhether it be air trafficcontrol or aeromedical research, main-tenance or meteorology, weather ornavigation, airports or aviation careers.
In recent years, several of the motionpictures produced by the Federal Avia-tion Administration have receivedawards at major film festivals through-out the world. Among them are:

Project films as received. Do not re-move head leaders and tail trailers,splice separate films together, or makeadditions or subtractions in the bodyof the film. Splicing should not be nec-essary, but if a break occurs, the spliceshould be made in an expert mannerand only with suitable film cement onequipment designed for splicing theparticular type of film.
Audiences are accustomed to motionpicture theater standards of showman-ship. So that you can approach thisgoal, we offer the following suggestions:
9
1. Plan enough time to set upequipment and preview the filmbefore your audience arrives.
2. Mount your projector on asturdy base as far removedfrom your audience as possibleso that no mechanical noisewill interfere.
3. Place your screen high enoughto give everyone maximum visi-bility and be certain both yourscreen and projected image arelarge enough.
4. Arrange seating so that no oneobstructs the projection beam.
5. Place your speaker as near thescreen as possibleat about thehead height of your seatedaudience.
6. Arrange all speaker and powercables along the sides of theroom or overhead, out of theway of your audience.
7. Clean the projector gate, aper-ture plate and lenses thoroughly.Dirt will show on the screen.Test your sound system.
8. Thread the film through yourprojector as outlined in its in-struction manual or accordingto the diagram inside its case.
9. Have a spare projection andsound exciter lamp on hand.
10. Start your projector and makecertain you have the largestpossible image, sharp focus andyour sound is functioning prop-erly at the desired volume.
... generalinformation
11. Rewind or reverse the film toyour starting point so it is prop-erly rethreaded and positionedfor your show.
12. Be sure the room is properlyventilated and comfortable foryour audience.
13. Assign someone to turn thelights off and on and be certainthe room can be adequatelydarkened.
14. Be ready with your introductorycomments to the film showing.

BASIC RADIO PROCEDURES FOR PILOTSPunctuated by humor and common sense, thisfilm is designed to familiarize private pilots,and particularly novices, with proper radioprocedures while communicating with FAAflight service stations and airport traffic con-trol towers.30 minutes, 1970, FA-902 $87.25
BLANKET FOR SURVIVALOne of FAA's major research activities is todevelop new ways that major aircraft fires canbe combatted and contained. This film demon-strates successful techniques already devel-oped for combatting fires, cooling the fuse-lage, and blanketing the fire area with non-flammable foam. Highly recommended forlocal fire-fighting groups with airports in theirareas.20 minutes, 1965, FA-607 $80.25

BROTHERAs part of FAA's efforts to encourage mem-bers of minority groups to seek professionalcareers in agency technical areas, this filmfeatures two black men who have made it inthe aviation industry: a pilot and an FAAexecutive. Through their eyes, the filmstresses FAA's genuine need to recruit brightyoung men and women into critical jobs, par-ticularly air traffic control and electronicsmaintenance. Written by a black writer whohimself has achieved outstanding success inaviation, the film offers an honest portrayal ofsome of the problems minorities have en .countered in trying to get jobs, and how FAAis paving the way for more enlightened EEOhiring. Particularly recommended for tele-vision, high schools, vocational schools, col .leges, and military separation centers.131/2 minutes, 1970, FA.01-71 $64.25

CHEMICAL SAFETY IN AERIAL APPLICATIONAerial agriculture is fast-becoming one ofgeneral aviation's most important segments.Aerial application enhances modern farmingmethods by providing rapid high quality dis-persion, but those who handle the toxic chem-icals used in aerial application should followthe special safety precautions described inthis film.13 minutes, 1966, FA-616 $45.25
CONTROLLER-COMPUTER PARTNERSHIP,THEOne of the first orders of business at FAA isto apply American computer technology to theheart of the aviation system, permitting con-trollers to spend their time making vital flightdecisions, with computers performing theroutine clerical chores. In laymen's terms, thisfilm explains the emergence of a semi-auto-mated air traffic control environment.71/2 minutes, 1969, FA-906 $26.00

DENSITY ALTITUDEThis film follows a young married couple ona vacation flight from New Orleans to LakeTahoe. In crossing the Rockies and the HighSierras, they learn the hard way about theeffects of high altitude and temperature onlight aircraft performance.

DULLES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTPORT OF THE FUTUREThe late famed architect, Eero Saarinen, saidthat Washington's Dulles International Air-port-owned and operated by FAAwas hisfinest work. Not only architects, but air pas-sengers, owe a debt of gratitude to Saarinenfor having built the first airport in the worlddesigned for the jet and supersonic age. Alively musical score accentuates Dulles' mod-ernity, which is portrayed in every facet inthis especially beautiful film.15 minutes, 1965, FAC-121 Not for sale
EAGLE EYED PILOTThe eagle is acclaimed for its keen eyesightand superior flying ability. This film, beauti-fully photographed in Alaska, stresses that apilot's "eagle" vision and flight safety gohand-in-hand. It acquaints the general aviationpilot with the physiology of pilot vision, par-ticularly highlighting the limitations of the eyein flight and factors that can affect and impairsight and safety while airborne.141/2 minutes, 1971, FA-0570

HISTORY OF FLIGHTWRIGHT BROTHERS,PART INarrator Paul Garber, Historian Emeritus ofthe National Air and Space Museum, Smith-sonian Institution, tells of the history of theWright family and how they became intriguedwith the problems of flight. Photographs madeby the Wright Brothers help describe theevents at Kitty Hawk. The film depicts theirtrial and error approaches that seemed toklep man from learning to fly. The "Historyof Flight" series was produced by the U.S.Navy in cooperation with the U.S. Archives,Smithsonian Institution and FAA. A teacher'sguide is furnished with each "History ofFlight" segment.28 minutes, black and white, 1971, FAN105
