Thane, Aug 12 (PTI) The Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Monday started conducting flight calibration of instrument landing system (ILS) for runway 26/08 at the under-construction Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) which is expected to start the first phase of operations by March 2025.
The two-day exercise, a critical step in calibrating flight paths to ensure the airport's operational readiness, will end on August 13 (Tuesday).
This is a landmark event, essential to prepare the instrument approach procedure and eventual licencing of NMIA and its operationalization, said the Navi Mumbai Airport in a Facebook post.
The post stated that ILS is a standard International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) precision landing aid that is used to provide accurate vertical & lateral guidance to aircraft for landing on the runway under normal or adverse weather conditions.
ILS guides the aircraft to a position from where a safe landing on the runway can be executed.
