Max Air Incident: Navigational Aids at Minna Airport Serviceable, Says NAMA
The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency yesterday said the Instrument Landing System at Minna International Airport was serviceable and was successfully calibrated early in the year.
The airline’s Boeing 747-400 aircraft with registration number 5N-DBK had scraped the runway while the No.1 engine brushed the runway surface while landing. “While we acknowledge that we have absolute confidence in the ability of the AIB to conduct a thorough investigation , we are constrained to, however, put things in proper perspective for the benefit our airspace users and the flying public.“Secondly, the said Instrument Landing System was successfully calibrated early this year and there has been no report of non-alignment by the equipment from pilots since then.
