Yes, there are CAT 2 runway lighting systems and CAT 2 ILS.

I believe the video was posted in this thread a while back in case you prefer a video demo than just researching it. Obiano was right when he said the CAT 2 runway lights had runway Center lights in addition to the edge lights. CAT 1 is just the runway edge lights like we have in Enugu.

The approach lights are part of the ILS system. They are designed to enable the pilot to decide whether to land the plane or not at a certain altitude (The Decision Height). The Cat II systems enable the pilot to make that decision at a much lower altitude than the CAT 1 system. Although Lagos and Abuja airports operate CAT 2 systems, there are CAT 3 systems operated by prime international airports in London, Dubai or New York. The truth is that CAT 3 has more lights installed, but pilots have said it really doesn't provide real advantages over CAT 2. The runway just looks more beautiful because even the touchdown zone has lights in the CAT 3 system.

My question was whether there were cases where those lights are installed without the ILS, because the lights are usually part of the precision approach. Does this airport have the CAT 2 ILS or will that come later?

I disagree with your last point. CAT3 has auto land, and pilots may feel intimidated by it.

Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo will now bring his vast experience to bear in consolidating and building a firm foundation for the economic take-off of the state in particular and Nigeria in general!

We desperately need competent hands with the relevant experience and capacity to solve the formidable challenges of developing Africa. Not the same type of corrupt charlatans and polithiefians who are only interested in obscene looting of the public treasury and condemning Africa to lack of development and perpetual poverty.

Unn and Delta State polytechnic stadium is better than this, instead of constructing a stadium without stand is better we don't have one.
Anambralstson you told us that this stadium will have stands but we're only seeing a stand of only 40 people here.

is there an ongoing airport project at Nando? I saw a huge bill board talking about Airport project in Nando.

Wonderful

Nwokem,

Since you have data to argue pointlessly, why don't you just use it to research answers to your question?

Auto landing, a function of autopilot is a feature in ALL modern planes to utilize ILS Categories 2 or 3 in an airport to safely land the plane in the touchdown zone of the runway without any input from the pilot. The visual orientation of the correct glide path by the pilot using the PAPI lights is what ILS CAT2 OR 3 will automatically orient the plane computers in the correct glide path to the touchdown zone without any input from the pilot in auto landing procedures.

In fact most pilots love to use the auto landing feature of the ILS CAT 2 OR CAT 3 airports in good, daylight weather because it helps them to test the calibration of the system and be sure it guides the plane computers to the safe touchdown zone of the runway. Incase they have to use auto landing feature of their plane in that airport in very bad weather with poor visibility.

Just google how ILS CATEGORIES 2 and 3 work and what are PAPI lights and get the information yourself on how the ILS systems work for both visual landing by the pilot or auto landing by plane computers using the ILS guidance .

The same Contractor that did Onikan Stadium pitch and Enyimba Pitch and other stadium in Nigeria

pandax:

][/right]he contractor handling Awka City Stadium is very reputable and experienced. I know Monimichelle will give Anambra a standard/world class pitch and tartan tracks, the stadium capacity could be expanded in future as the need arise

ANSMEDIA:
It is a smart international airport, even the arrival/departure seats have USB charging ports. They made sure that they put everything that's truly required of an international airport in place.

Dump Truck Collides With Metal Barricade At Amawbia Flyover

By Blessing Uchendu (ABS Reporter)

A dump truck belonging to an unnamed construction company has collided with the heavy metal barricade at the north end of Amawbia flyover.

The truck also pulled down the heavy barricade, erecetd by the Anambra State Government to dissuade heavy duty vehicles from using the flyover.

Though no casualty was recorded from the incident, witnesses say that the driver of the vehicle in question might have tried to force his way through the flyover, thinking that his truck could scale through unhampered.

Men of the Nigeria Police Force as well as those from the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, were also seen trying to maintain peace and traffic issues at the scene.

The Amawbia flyover is one of three high level flyovers constructed by Governor Willie Obiano in Awka his first term, to ease traffic and give Awka the right architectural structure worthy of a twenty-first century city.

The most amazing proof that Igbos love themselves. Who would believe that this is Oga and his apprentice ( Nwaboi) just a few decades ago?

I love the fact that Chief Innocent Chukwuma still accords due respect to his "Master" despite his success in business.
