3. HISTORY
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) was
Formed on 1st April 1995 by merging the
International Airports Authority of India
and the National Airports Authority with a
view to accelerate the integrated
development, expansion and modernization
at the airports in the country conforming to
international standards.
4. ABOUT AIRPORT AUTHORITY OF INDIA
AAI at various airports handled about 5 lakhs
aircraft movements (4 lakhs domestic and 1 lakh
international);40 million passengers (26 million
domestic and 14 million international) and 9 lakh
tonnes of cargo (3 lakh domestic and 6 lakh
international).
125 AIRPORTS
11 INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS
81 DOMESTIC AIRPORTS
25 CIVIL ENCLAVES
5. MAIN FUNCTION OF AAI

8. COMMUNICATION (V.H.F)
COMMUMNICATION IS DONE THROUGH VHF(VERY
HIGH FREQUENCY RANGE)
THE RANGE OF VHF IS 30MHZ TO 300 MHZ
IT IS A TYPE OF LINE OF SIGHT COMMUNICATION
MODULATION TECHNIQUE USED IS AMPLITUDE
MODULATION

9. VHF(VERY HIGH FREQUENCY RANGE)
3 BASIC COMPONENTS REQUIRED FOR V.H.F
COMMUNICATION ARE :
1. TRANSMITTER
2. RECEIVER
3. ANTENNAS

10. TRANSMITTER:-
VHF TRANSMITTER HAVE 2 TRASMITTERS IN A
SINGLE EQUIPMENT .
THE TRANSMITTER USED IS DT100.
1ST TRANSMITTER IS ON AIR WHILE OTHER IS ON
STANDBY .
2ND TRANMITTER IS ON HOT STANDBY i.e. THE
TRANSMITTER IS IN ON STATE BUT NOT IN USE.
10
11. RECEIVER:-
V.H.F RECEIVER ALSO HAVE 2 RECEIVERS IN A SINGLE
EQUIPMENT .
THE RECEIVER USED IS DR100.
1ST RECEIVER IS ON AIR WHILE 2ND IS ON HOT STANDBY
FOR USE IN EMERGENCY.
11
12. ANTENNAS:-
2 TYPE OF ANTENNAS ARE USED :
1. DIRECTIVE ANTENNA:-
A directional antenna or beam antenna is an
antenna which radiates or receives greater power in
specific directions allowing for increased
performance and reduced interference from
unwanted sources.
2. OMNI-DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA:-
An omnidirectional antenna is a class of antenna
which radiates radio wave power uniformly in all
directions

14. SOME IMPORTANT FACTS
ALLOTED FREQUENCY FOR V.H.F IS 108-156
MHZ .
OUT OF IT A.A.I OPERATES IN 108 MHZ – 137.9
MHZ .
AND FOR MILITARY PURPOSE FREQUENCY
RANGE IS 138 MHZ- 156MHZ
EACH AIRPORT HAS ITS DESIGNATED
FREQUENCY .

15. NAVIGATIONAL AIDS
Navigation is the 'ART' of determining the
position of an aircraft over earth's surface
and guiding its progress from one place to
another.
To accomplish this ART, some sort of 'aids'
are required by the PILOTS.
In the twentieth century, electronics also
entered in the Aviation field. Direction
finders and other navigational aids enabled
the navigators to obtain 'Fixes' using
electronic aids only. Hence such aids

The function of an ILS is to provide the PILOT or
AUTOPILOT of a landing aircraft with the guidance
to and along the surface of the runway.
This guidance must be of very high integrity to
ensure that each landing has a very high probability
of success.
The basic philosophy of ILS is that ground
installations, located in the vicinity of the runway,
transmit coded signals in such a manner that pilot is
given information indicating position of the aircraft
with respect to correct approach path.

24. SURVEILLANCE
The act of monitoring
the behavior activities, or
other changing
information.
Surveillance may be
applied to observation
from a distance by means
of electronic equipment.
24
26. RADAR
26
Radars are employed throughout
the world for the purpose of safely
controlling air traffic en-route and
in the vicinity of airports.
Aircraft as well as vehicular
traffic at large airports are
monitored by means of high-
resolution radar.
Radar has also been used to
guide aircraft to a safe landing in

29. AUTOMATICMESSAGINGAND SWITCHING SYSTEM(AMSS)
The AMSS works on the principle of “Store and Forward”.
The AFTN (Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network) is a
world wide system of aeronautical fixed circuits provided for the
exchange of messages and/or digital data between aeronautical fixed
stations.
30. ADVANTAGES OF AMSS
Data channels are shared among communication devices,
improving the use of bandwidth.
Messages can be stored temporarily at message switches,
when network congestion becomes a problem.
Priorities may be used to manage network traffic.
Broadcast addressing uses bandwidth more efficiently
because messages are delivered to multiple destinations.
33. GAGAN PROJECT :-
GAGAN PROJECT IS USED FOR SATELLITE BASED
SYSTEM IN NAVIGATION.
NAVIGATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR AIRCRAFT
WILL BE RECEIVED FROM GPS.
AAI IS IMPLEMENTING THIS PROJECT IN
COLLABORATION WITH INDIAN SPACE
RESEARCH ORGANIZATION (ISRO).
