Coimbatore: Even as the Air Traffic Control operations of Coimbatore Airport are all set to take a huge leap forward with sophisticated aircraft tracking equipment being installed, the Airports Authority of India is also upgrading the data recording system, which will provide vital information during disasters.
An official said that existing data recording system, considered the ‘black box’ of the airport, will retain information related to flight control operations in 16 channels such as communication from ATC to the pilot, walkie-talkie conversations of ground staff and internal telephone conversations.
Among the other data being recorded were the weather reports in Coimbatore region, which are broadcast by the airport every half a minute and updated every half an hour based on the information from the Indian Meteorological Department.
