Karnataka has decided to enable night landing at its Government Flying Training School’s (GFTS) runway.
Authorities are also making a fresh attempt to extend the GFTS runway under a project that seeks to leverage the potential of the state’s oldest flying school that trains aspirants for personal and commercial pilot licences.
Officials said work on the night landing is likely to begin in the next two months, helping GFTS begin training in its own facility rather than depend on Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), which involves additional expenditure and time needed for clearance.
