Air navigation services
Sharjah Air Navigation Service (SANS) was contracted by the aerodrome operator to
provide air traffic control services. At the time of the Incident, air traffic services were performed
from the standby tower (ST) because the main airport tower was under maintenance.
Approximately two years before use of the standby tower, SANS had carried a safety case
assessment and identified several hazards. SANS stated:
“SANS has inspected this new facility and has identified aerodrome artificial light
and the surveillance deficiencies, due to the ATC-ST [air traffic control standby
tower] height and location, as significant safety hazard that must be mitigated prior
to transfer of operations to the ATC-
ST.”
In summary, the following hazards were identified:
ATC-ST Artificial lighting during nighttime operations
ATC-ST Movement area surveillance
ATC-ST Maneuvering area surveillance
ATC-ST Maneuvering area surveillance Taxiway Bravo.
As part of mitigating risks of the identified hazards, a remote surface management system
(RSMS) was installed. SANS stated:
“
Installation of an ATC [air traffic control] grade video camera system to provide
surveillance of the main apron, maintenance area/apron and the runway, runway
thresholds and associated taxiway hol
d points.”
In addition, SANS stated:
“The provision of a CCTV [closed-circuit television] camera system installed on the
aerodrome for the ATC-ST will significantly reduce or eliminate the identified
hazards.”
SANS was confident of the mitigation taken, stating:
“The CCTV system proposed for the ATC-ST (Standby Tower) will be a safety-
critical component for ATC operations at Sharjah International Airport and will
significantly enhance controller situational awareness.”
The CCTV three cameras were installed at the following locations:
Camera 1
– Departure end of runway 30
Camera 2
– Stands 4-8 of the main apron area
