Weak Signal's description
Non-stop final descents of aircrafts are usually interfered by the large number of aircrafts in the airspace being guided by few beacons located in the runway. First tests show that the additional application of virtual GPS-beacons is kerosine saving and allows low-noise descents due to idle running.
