DGCA's thumbs-up for Metro line near airport



CHENNAI: Airlines may continue to complain about the Metro Rail's 'incursion' into the airport premises, but the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is fine with the alignment. 

The proposed Metro Rail corridor from Officers' Training Academy to the airport will pass close to the runways. While aviation experts are against allowing a partially elevated structure to cut across the approach path of runways, airlines and pilots are wary that they will have to cut down the load of aircraft to fly from the secondary runway. 

"There is no problem with the Metro Rail coming near the airport," said director general of civil aviation Bharat Bhushan. 

The proposed Metro line starts as an elevated one from the Officers Training Academy (OTA), and goes partially underground as it cuts across the flight approach path, nine metres inside the airport campus, parallel to the boundary wall along GST Road. As per the AAI certificate, the line can be 6.5 metres above ground, so that its height will be lesser than the existing obstacles. 

Necessary adjustments would be made to ensure air safety and also to prevent the line from impacting aircraft operations on the secondary runway, said Bharat Bhushan. However, he did not elaborate on the changes that would be brought in to accomodate the project. 

Airports Authority of India (AAI) has already given the green signal for the project following which Chennai Metro Rail floated a tender to construct the line. 

"Our studies have found that the height will not affect the safety of flight operations. So the issue has been resolved," AAI chairman VP Agrawal had said when he visited the airport in July to review expansion works. 
Aviation experts say that the Metro line would be disastrous if an aircraft overshoots the runway during take-off or has to land much before the touchdown point on the runway due to windshear. 

The issue was raised by safety experts at a recent Civil Aviation Safety Advisory Council. The director general inspected airport expansion works including construction of terminal buildings, extension of secondary runway and bridge works last Friday.
