HUBLI: If everything goes as plan, Hubli airport will soon have a technically advanced landing and take-off facilities.
Hubli Airport, waiting to be transformed on international standards, is now gearing up to have advanced facilities like instrumental landing system, DVOR (doppler very high frequency omni range) and DME ( distance measurement equipment).
Presently, in the absence of these facilities, landing and taking off during bad weather conditions is not a smooth affair. These advanced equipment will greatly help the pilots get correct information on the weather condition prevailing in the airport. The system will help them learn whether the weather is conducive to land the aircraft, the direction, exact availability of runway, frequency, speed and other vital information during bad weather.
