ABOUT AIRPORT AUTHORITY OF INDIA

Airports Authority of India (AAI) was build by an
Act of Parliament and came into being on 1st April,
1995 by merging erstwhile National Airports
Authority and International Airports Authority
of India.

AAI manages 126 airports, which include 11
international airports, 89domestic airports and 26 civil
enclaves at Defence airfields

Communication System
Communication is the process of sending , receiving and processing of information by
electrical means. Basically communication system consist of 3 major blocks which are :

Transmitter
Channel
Receiver
Audio Amp.

'ART' of determining the position of an aircraft over
earth's surface and guiding its progress from one place
to another

I.L.S. (Instrument Landing System)

Localizer : Helps aircraft to identify the
central line of runway.
Range:- 10-25 NM
Frequency:- 108-111.9 MHz

Glide Path : Gives the glide angle i.e. angle
of declination achieve for safe landing.
Range:- 10 NM(-8 to +8
degrees)
Safe glide angle:- 2-4 degrees

DISTANCE MEASURING EQUIPMENT(DME) :

DME is used in navigational aid which provide a
pilot with visual info regarding his
position(distance) related to ground base DME
station.

The frequency range used for DME is between
960 MHz to1215 MHz .
RADAR is stand for Radio Detection And
Ranging and was developed prior to World
War II.
It is used by ATC to monitor and control
numbers of aircrafts in airspace as well as by
pilot for weather warning and navigation.

Radar operates on UHF and SHF - Super High
Frequency (1 GHz - 30 GHz).
RADAR systems are in SHF bands because:
a) These frequencies are free from disturbance.
b) Higher frequency, shorter wavelength, RADAR
more effective.(shorter wavelengths are
reflected more efficiently.)

To provide aerodrome control service.
To direct pilots to the runway, taxiway, or apron,
issue instructions for takeoff and landing,
To control the flow of runway traffic so that it is
most efficient and safe (fast clearance, no hold or
delay)
To update important information such
weather.
ATC also responsible for checking weather statistics
at both the current airport and future destination to
ensure the safest route of travel and issue any
possible weather delays.
Have to contact Meteorological Stations (METs) to
update the weather info.
ATC are also vital in the case of an emergency.
Should an airplane encounter problems, the air
traffic controllers role is extremely important.
The air traffic controllers will maintain contact with
the pilots, aid in overcoming any flight problems,
provide flight path changes for bad weather and in
extreme circumstances, direct pilots to a specific area
for emergency landings.
As example, aircraft crash, bomb threat, hi-jacking,
etc.

It was a great experience at Airport Authority of India,

Udaipur. During our training period we got an
opportunity to see many of the equipments like the
HHMD, DME,ILS,DFMD SYSTEM etc.
