ATNS reports essential bad weather aviation safety systems at East London now approved

State-owned air traffic control agency, Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) has posted on professional social media that the Instrument Landing System (ILS) flight procedure for the second of the runways at East London’s King Phalo Airport has been approved by the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA). This approval applied to Runway 11, which is one of the airport’s two runways, the other being the already ILS procedures-approved Runway 29.

ILS is a major safety system for aviation. It is an aid to pilots that allows them to approach and land on runways in bad weather and poor, even zero, visibility. It does so by radio beams that provide pilots with precise vertical and horizontal guidance, as they bring their aircraft in to land.

“As a result of this development, flight operations are expected to improve, reducing the likelihood of flight disruptions as witnessed recently with cancellations, diversions, and delays, due to inclement weather conditions,” said ATNS in its post. “ATNS regrets any inconvenience suffered by stakeholders and requests patience during the maintenance programme of the instrument flight procedures in various airports across the country.”

SACAA has suspended certain air traffic navigation procedures at several airports, because of ATNS’ failure to comply with regulations regarding procedures. This has caused disruptions to commercial air traffic.
