Gambia Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) enhances safety at Banjul Airport following delivery of key navigation systems from SYSTEMS INTERFACE
Systems Interface Ltd has completed the installation, commissioning and flight check of Doppler VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (DVOR) and co-located Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) for the GCAA at Banjul International Airport in The Gambia.
Following an international tender, Systems Interface was contracted to complete the turnkey provision of these essential systems. Initially this included the site survey, detailed system design, and coverage analysis. Following the de-commissioning of the existing equipment, Systems Interface installed and commissioned the new equipment. Finally, a flight calibration check was carried out to verify the precision of the installed system.
The DVOR and DME combined deliver precise bearing and distance information to suitably equipped aircraft, allowing pilots to safely navigate when approaching Banjul.
“Having installed the previous DVOR/DME over 20 years ago, we appreciate that once again GCAA invested its trust in Systems Interface to deliver, it demonstrates our incredible project delivery capability”, commented David Chandler, Sales and Business Development Director at Systems Interface.
