Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has begun calibration of navigational equipment at some airports and en route stations to enhance air safety. Its Managing Director Mr Nnamdi Udoh, said the agency spends about N200million yearly to calibrate navigational aids at the 26 airports. Calibration means the flight checking of navigational equipment to ascertain their accuracy and efficiency. The exercise, Udoh said, would last for 14 days, explaining that the calibration of the navaids would assist in putting the aids in proper shape at these airports and en-route stations. Udoh appealed to airlines to support the agency in its safety drive by clearing their outstanding debts
