• ANTENNAS
2 TYPE OF ANTENNAS ARE USED :
1. DIRECTIVE ANTENNA
2. OMNI-DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA
16. SOME IMPORTANT FACTS
• ALLOTED FREQUENCY FOR V.H.F IS 108-156
MHZ .
• OUT OF IT A.A.I OPERATES IN 117.975 MHZ –
136 MHZ .
• EACH AIRPORT HAS ITS DESIGNATED
FREQUENCY .
• FOR EXAMPLE-SAFDURJUNG AIRPORT
OPERATES AT FREQUENCY 122.3 MHZ .
18. 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 became more and
more popular and came into extensive use.
19. Navigational Aids used in AAI
ILS:
DME:
NDB:
VOR:
Instrument Landing System
Distance Measuring Equipment
Non Directional Bearing
VHF OMNI RANGE
25. INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM
The Instrument Landing System (ILS) provides a means for
safe landing of aircraft at airports under conditions of low
ceilings and limited visibility.
The use of the system materially reduces interruptions of
service at airports resulting from bad weather by allowing
operations to continue at lower weather minimums.
The ILS also increases the traffic handling capacity of the
airport under all weather conditions.
26. INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEM
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.
28. NDB:NON DIRECTIONAL BEACON
NDB GIVES THE RELATIVE BEARING.
NDB GIVES THE CLOCKWISE ANGLE BETWEEN THE
NOSE OF AN AIRCRAFT AND THE NDB.
IF I.L.S IS NOT WORKING THEN NDB CAN DO THE TASK.
33. SURVEILLANCE
The act of watching or
monitoring
the behavior
activities, or other changing
information.
Surveillance
may
be
applied to observation from
a distance by means of
electronic equipment.
35. RADAR
◙ 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 bad
weather.
36. SECURITY EQUIPMENT
HAND HELD METAL DETECTOR.
DOOR FRAME METAL DETECTOR.
X-RAY BAGGAGE INSPECTION SYSTEM.
EXPLOSIVE TRACE DETECTOR.
37. HAND HELD METAL DETECTOR
It is used to find the particular
part of the body at
which any
metal or other related particle is
there.
It operates with chargeable
battery system.
38. DOOR FRAME METAL DETECTOR.
Every passengers has to go
through this frame when any
metal particle is possessed by
passengers.
It gives indication with both
visual and audio aid.
39. X-RAY BAGGAGE INSPECTION
SYSTEM
This system has a single X-ray source sending out
X-rays, typically in the range of 140 to 160 kilovolt
peak (KVP). KVP refers to the amount of
penetration an X-ray makes. The higher the KVP,
the further the X-ray penetrates.
After the X-rays pass through the item, they are
picked up by a detector. This detector then passes the
X-rays on to a filter, which blocks out the lowerenergy X-rays.
The remaining high-energy X-rays hit a second
detector. A computer circuit compares the pick-ups
of the two detectors to better represent low-energy
objects, such as most organic materials.
