Pune It seems that the Gliding Centre Pune (GCP) and Pawan Hans Helicopters Limited (PHHL) have locked horns over the proposed Helicopter Training Institute and Heliport from the word go. As construction started for the 14.6-crore Helicopter Pilot Training Institute of PHHL, the gliding centre authorities are angry over the fact that one of the helipads is intersecting the proposed runway meant for gliders.
“We at the gliding centre have been given the copy of the proposed layout by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation wherein three helipads are shown in a row and are not intersecting the runway proposed for gliders. However, the excavation work for the three helipads is being done not in line with each other. Instead, helipad number three divides the proposed glider runway,” said Srinivas Nyayapathi, instructor, GCP. The gliding centre authorities have been claiming that they were not kept in the loop about any changes in the proposed layouts.
