Aeronautical Study for ILS Category IIIA Operations
An aeronautical study of the proposal by the Airports Authority
of India (AAI) to implement ILS Category IIIA at New Delhi was
commissioned through the Technical Co-operation Bureau of the
International Civil Aviation Organisation and carried out by LEAPP.
The purpose of the study was to carry out an independent review of the
proposal by the AAI to upgrade Runway 28 at Indira Gandhi International
Airport (IGIA) from an ILS Category II status to Category IIIA, and so
improve accessibility to the airport during heavy fog conditions that
prevail through the winter months.
In scope, the study covered a review of the background justification
to upgrade Runway 28 for ILS Category IIIA approaches, an
inspection of the Runway 28 physical and operational environment,
a review of all preparations made by the AAI to comply with
applicable ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices, and a
later inspection to verify that requirements identified by
the study had been met.
