After installing a US navigational system and placing portable lights along the runway and approach end, Decker and his fellow controllers set up a mobile microwave landing system (MMLS).

MarkAir was expected to start flying a new deHavilland Dash 7 outfitted to use the microwave landing system to Valdez on May 15.

The system also offers growth to support microwave landing system capability and can meet future air traffic management requirements while offering commonality across fleet types.
