Tiivistelmä
This study was done in order to improve safe landing procedure for approaching aircrafts at Tribhuvan International Airport; the nation’s only international airport located in Kathmandu, Nepal. The airport sits in a narrow valley 1,338 meters above sea level, resulting in numerous accidents each year. The author of the thesis had himself flown in and out of the airport many times and analysed the situation of the airport and its safety importance. The aim of the study was to find appropriate modern navigation system for Tribhuvan International Airport in order to improve airport performance and save the life of travelling passengers.
This report was a result of qualitative research using case study approach where information was collected through airport officials, newspaper reporter and analysing of secondary data. The secondary data was collected from the published material of related authority, airport office and web pages. Research was carried out for finding the ways of improving landing performance of Tribhuvan International Airport. Three different types of modern navigation systems were introduced, compared and analysed.
The result obtained from the research showed one proper modern navigation system for Tribhuvan International Airport. The study creates a good foundation for further research into improving safe approach and landing at the airport. The information would be useful for engineers setting up navigation systems at the airport in near future as well.
