Yuletide: NAMA commences flight calibration of navigational aids

Ahead of the yuletide, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) says it has commenced a routine calibration of navigational facilities in 24 airports across Nigeria.

In a statement issued by the agency Sunday, it said when completed in two weeks’ time, the calibration exercise targeted at putting all navigational aids in optimal capacity would ensure that the facilities generate precise and accurate signals to guarantee the safety of air navigation in the country.

Also to be calibrated and commissioned are the newly installed ILS/DME facilities in Lagos and Port Harcourt airports.

“The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) therefore wishes to reassure the flying public of the safety of the nation’s airspace as all necessary measures are in place to ensure safe, efficient and seamless flight operations in Nigeria,” the statement said.
