Overview
- The recommendation mandates video inside towers and background controller audio on a priority basis, with recordings available to AAIB and the DGCA for investigations.
- On November 23, Ariana Afghan Airlines flight AFG311 landed on unassigned Runway 29R after being cleared for 29L during segregated operations at Delhi.
- The pilot reported losing ILS guidance about 4 nautical miles from touchdown in poor visibility and then conducted a visual approach.
- Runway 29R was configured for departures only with approach lights, ILS and PAPI switched off, while another flight departed from 29R as AFG311 touched down.
- AAIB says the probe is ongoing after securing crew and controller statements, approach radar recordings, ATC transcripts and six months of aircraft technical logs for analysis.
