The airport is a federally designated port of entry for civil aircraft arriving in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www2.tech.purdue.edu/at/courses/at300/Documents/IFIM%20chapter%203/ifm0306/ifm0306.html#C )〕 The airport is the site of the command center for and primary facilities of the United States Coast Guard Air Station Humboldt Bay, which provides rescue and law enforcement for the region north of the San Francisco Bay Area. == History == The airport was built by the United States Navy during World War II to test defogging systems. It operated in support of the Naval Air Station Alameda as the Arcata Naval Auxiliary Air Station (NAAS)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=California State Military Museum )〕 and was headquarters for the Eureka section of naval local defense forces for the 12th Naval District.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=U.S. Naval Activities World War II by State )〕 In December 1947 a Southwest Airways Douglas DC-3 flying into the airport made the world's first blind landing by a scheduled commercial airliner using Ground-Controlled Approach (GCA) radar, Instrument Landing System (ILS) and Fog Investigation and Dispersal Operation (FIDO) oil-burning units adjacent to the runway.〔 〕 By the following year the airline had made 1,200 routine instrument landings at the often fog-shrouded airport. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arcata-Eureka Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
