Mangalore International Airport Takes a Step to Enhancing Aircraft Safety: Plans to Install a Precision Approach Lighting
Mangalore International Airport (MIA) has taken a step towards enhancing aircraft safety by planning to install a Precision Approach Lighting (PAL) category 1 system near Sri Kordabbu Daivasthana, Unile. The groundbreaking ceremony for the same was held on Friday.
The project involves various works related to the PAL system and aims to be completed in 20 months. The airport has undertaken this project in accordance with safety recommendations from the ministry of civil aviation and the civil aviation safety and security regulator.
Under the PAL CAT 1 system the pilots will get improved visibility of runway 24 and guidance during their final landing approach. The system will be installed 900m from the threshold of runway 24, as this end of the runway accounts for 90% of aircraft landings at the airport. The lights will be fixed to frangible T-shaped structures. The project will complement the installation of runway centerline lights, which has already been completed and is awaiting approval from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation for commissioning.
