Belgrade Airport restores ILS CAT III

NEWS FLASH


Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport has restored its category III Instrument Landing System (ILS), which was downgraded to a category I after a Marathon Airlines Embraer E195 aircraft, operating on behalf of Air Serbia, hit the ILS antenna upon take-off on February 18. Category III, the highest ILS available, enables aircraft to land in low-visibility conditions such as fog or heavy rain. It is capable of guiding an aircraft to land in very low visibility conditions, often down to zero visibility.

    That wasn't cheap at all. I wonder who is liable for the ILS damage? Marathon?

      I'm sure these cases are insured, but yeah, of course Marathon is eventually going to be liable for the damages.

    Admin, can you please specify if CATIIIB has been restored or only CATIII?... If the later it is still a downgrade compared to prior the Marathon accident.

      Effective October 30, 2022 EASA and FAA have removed the a, b and c categorisation from use, which is why it is not referred to in the article, as it is now only referred to as CAT III. Belgrade Airport has the same system in use as it did prior to the accident.

    This image perfectly shows the D5 exit and how much of the runway has left. What were they thinking...

      First intersection when looking from from the bottom or from the top?

      Thanks. If the take off direction is towards the top of the photo then it really looks insane to try to take off from D5.
