The Nigerian
Airspace Management Agency, has launched calibration of navigational equipment
at some airports and en route stations across the country to enhance air
safety.
The
calibration exercise started in Lagos with the routine calibration of the two
Instrument Landing Systems, Very High Omni-directional Radio Range/Distance
Measuring Equipment and the Path Approach Precision Indicator of the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport.
Managing
Director of the Agency, Mazi Nnamdi Udoh
, said the exercise would last for fourteen days adding that the calibration of
the navaids would assist in putting all the navigational aids in proper shape
at these airports and en-route stations.
The NAMA boss appealed to airlines to support
the Agency in its safety drive by clearing their outstanding debts. NAMA spends
about 200milion naira annually to calibrate navigational aids at 26 airports
across Nigeria.
