Thiruvananthapuram: Making No Objection Certificate (NOC) mandatory for constructions in Red Zone of the Colour Coded Zoning Map (CCZM) for airports is for safeguarding aircraft operations to/from the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has said.
An aircraft that is coming to land will commence its descent from its cruising height of 35,000 ft at around 120 nautical miles from the airport. If the aircraft is landing from the Vallakadvu side, it has to align to the centre line of the runway at about 14 km from the beginning of the runway over Vizhinjam and over Kazhakuttam if it is landing from the Veli side.
As the aircraft will be descending to a low altitude for landing, Airport Director George G. Tharakan said it was important to give a path free of obstacles for safety of aircraft. Similarly, an obstacle-free path has to be given for aircraft taking-off and approaching aircraft requiring to circle aerodrome.
Aircraft of Flying Club and Air Force, used for training pilots, and those in emergency also fly at very low heights. “Any construction in these paths will be dangerous for aircraft as well as the residents of the area.
Issuing of NOC is for regulating the height of buildings to a safe level without affecting safe aircraft operations,” the Airport Director said.
