In preparation for the approaching harmattan season, where visibility is reduced, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency has commenced the trial run of the newly installed Category III Instrument Lan

ding System at Runway 18 Right, Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.

Akinkuotu said the alignment of the facility had already been done by the engineers, adding that the trial run was to ensure that the equipment aligned with the centre line of the runway and the descent path that would be comfortable to arrive the threshold at a good height for a normal landing. “In a couple of weeks, we will bring calibration aircraft to fly in and certify that the equipment is good to go,” Akinkuotu said.

He said, “The CAT II ILS we have right now are 800 metres visibility. With the CAT III system, you will be able to come down lower and when you are closer to the runway, you will be able to see it better.
