 AIRPORT AUTHORITY OF INDIA
• Formed under the act of parliament- AIRPORTS
AUTHORITY OF INDIA ACT 1994.

• Organization under the Ministry of Civil Aviation

that manages all the airports in India.

• Major revenue is generated from airports

development, landing/parking fees and fees
charged for providing Air Traffic Control services
to aircraft over the Indian airspace.
SERVICES PROVIDED
• Control and management of the Indian air space.
• Installation and maintenance of various communication,
navigation and surveillance aids.
• Design, development, operation and maintenance of passenger
terminals.
• Development and management of cargo terminals.
• Passenger facilities and information system.
• Rescue and fire services.
• Anti-Hijacking cell.
 Communication
Process of transferring information from one source to
another.

• Ground to Ground: Communication among stations on the

ground.
• Ground to Air: Between pilot and the air traffic controller.
• Air to Air: Between the pilots of two aircrafts in the air.
• HF or VHF is used for communication between controller and
pilot.
NAVIGATION
It is a process of reading and controlling the movement of an
aircraft from one place to another.
• NDB: Transmits guiding signals towards a particular
aircraft at a particular frequency.
• DVOR: Directional VHF omni-range measures the angular
orientation of the aircraft with respect to the magnetic north.
• DME: Gives the slant distance of the aircraft from the
equipment.
•CDI: Guiding signals received by avionics of the aircraft are
indicated to pilot through Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)
needles.
• ILS: Instrument Landing System which helps the aircraft to land
safely and includes.
• Localizer: provides runway centerline guidance to aircraft.
• Glide Path: Provides Gliding angle to the aircraft.
• Markers: Provides runway threshold to the aircraft.
• Air Traffic Control: Air traffic controllers in direct contact with
the pilots and guide them to move forward.

Surveillance
Monitoring from a distance, by means of equipment
installed at each airport, the movement of all the aircrafts
within its region of operation.
• Primary and secondary radars are used to aid surveillance
in civil as well as military aviation.
• Surface Movement Radar is used to monitor the
movement of the aircraft on runways or taxiways.
Radars at ATC
Primary Radar:
• No role of target.
• Detection range upto 60NM.
• Frequency range is between 2 to 4 GHz.
• Consumes more power.
Secondary Radar:
• Target has to participate in the detection process.
• Target uses a transponder to reflect signal back.
• Detection range is upto 220 NM.
• Frequency range is between 1 to 2 GHz.
Flight Information Region (FIR)
Vast Indian airspace is divided into five FIRs viz Delhi,
Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Guwahati.
• An FIR is airspace with some dimensional bounds.
• Each FIR has a separate ATC that provides ATC Services
for that area only.
• Each FIR has a separate controller for:
• Area (approx. 250NM)
• Approach (approx. 50NM)
• Tower (approx. 10NM)
Automatic Message Switching System
Accurate and speedy exchange of aeronautical information, such as Air
Traffic Service (ATS) messages consisting of Flight Plan, Departure and
Estimates messages etc. between stations to enable them to control the air
space and movement of Air traffic in an orderly manner
All networking within AAI is established mainly using three topologies which
are
1.)Mesh : Fully connected
2.)Bus : Main cable
3.)Star : Employes a hub
Three desired characteristics:
• Correct delivery: Data must reach only the intended
recipient
• Accurate delivery: Data sent must be received in the same
form
• Timely delivery: Data must travel from the sender to the
receiver in a finite amount of time.
