Willard Sialwindi I definitely dont think that aviation in Zambia is a mockery.we have men and women workn hard using procedural contral making our sky safe.Nevertheless,Every day tens of thousands of people board airplanes to travel from one place to another. These flights, thousands of which take off and land daily, are among the safest forms of travel. Although airplane crashes are tragic and headline grabbing, the fact is the sky is a very safe place to be. But how, with so many airplanes in the air, does air travel maintain such a good safety record? The answer is, in large part, air traffic control, the complex system of directing planes and telling them how high or low to fly, and when and where to land safely. Air traffic control systems rely heavily on radar which we dont use/have as yet. Radar first made a huge impact during World War II when it was largely developed for use by battling nations. After the war the civil (that is, non-military) aviation community began to apply radar techniques developed during the war to civil aviation guidance and surveillance. The first use of this technology involved using radar to aid landing. Hopefuly GRZ will swiftly move in and procure such air navigation system equipment as soon as possible.
