ILS calibration successful at Srinagar Airport

Srinagar: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has ‘successfully completed’ the calibration of the much-needed Instrumentation Landing System (ILS) at the Srinagar International Airport, bringing respite to the airlines which are all set to use the latest landing facility.
The calibration of the equipment, which had started on Tuesday, was completed this afternoon. “We are done with the calibration of the ILS. It was successful,” said the Srinagar-based AAI director, Capt Raj K Malik, asserting that the calibration report has gone to various quarters for ratification.
Informed sources, privy to the calibration process, said the report has been sent to the Director General Civil Aviation (DGCA), Airports Authority of India New Delhi and the Indian Air Force for approval.
“The DGCA will go through all the technical data given in the report. After that it will issue NOTAM (notice to airmen) with regard to the functioning of the equipment. This shall be followed by allotment of a frequency to the airlines on which they can land at the airport, with the ILS in operation,” they said.
