Summary record of the Special SACFA meeting

held on 12.2.1998.
--------------------------------------------

Special SACFA meeting was held on 12/2/98 at Sanchar Bha-

van, New Delhi under the Chairmanship of Shri A.V.Gokak, Secre-
tary, DOT & Chairman (TC) to formulate guidelines to facilitate
selection of sites for SACFA clearance. A list of the partici-
pants is attached.

2. The Chairman welcomed the members and recalled that in the

last Special SACFA meeting it was decided that SACFA members
would provide appropriate guidelines for clearance of sites as
related to their organisations for consolidation and finalisa-
tion. While giving these guidelines confidential/secret informa-
tion need not be disclosed. These guidelines would be helpful in
selecting the sites which would have a good chance of getting
approved by SACFA. Accordingly, guidelines have been received
from various SACFA members. Based on various inputs, a consoli-
dated document has been prepared for consideration of SACFA.

3. Wireless Adviser, thereafter, explained in brief contents

of the document. He indicated that the document broadly consisted
of three sections. Part A contained general instructions, Part B
contained guidelines as received from members as related to their
organisations and Part C contained broad principles as related to
processing of applications for SACFA clearances.

4. The document was, then considered by the meeting in detail

and following decisions were taken:-

4.1 Part "A" : Notes were approved.

4.2 Part "B" : was approved with the following

modifications:

4.2.1 B.1: Airport Authority of India (AAI) :

Appropriate details of civilian airports like

location of airports,their coordinates and height
of their ARPs above mean sea level as given in
Ministry of Civil Aviation Notification no. 288, are
to be included in the guidelines given by the AAI.
It was confirmed by the AAI member that these
informations were not confidential.

4.3 Part C was approved with the following modications:

- In the 2nd line add " upto 1 GHz" in the end.

- In C1, after the word " distances" add "more than 2 kms
from airfield boundary and "
- in C1(a), replace "above ground level(AGL)" by ARP
elevation"

- In C1 (b), replace "4-30 m " by "4-20 m" and add

 Army in the list

- In C1(c), replace "30" by " 20"

- In C2 in the 1st line add "and any of

navigational aids as mentioned in Part 2 of page B1
at the end.

- In C2(a), in 1st line, replace "AGL" by "ARP" and

in 4th line, after the word "building" add "provided
height does not exceeed 20m above ARP elevation".

- Delete C2(b)

- C2(c) be renumbered as C2(b) and replace "30" by "20"

in the 1st line.

4.4 Members were also of the opinion that local level coor-
dination by the applicants may, substantially help the clearance
process. In this context, Wireless Adviser informed that Region-
al Advisory Committees on siting existed throughout the country
and advantage could be taken of these fora for achieving local
level coordination.

4.2.2 B.5: Department of Space (DOS).

The details of locations of DOS stations, focal points

as given by DOS in their guidelines are to be included
in the guidelines.

4.2.3 B-13: Doordarshan.

Following indent be added in the end:

- mobile links for coverage of OB, locations

of which could be discussed with the local
D.D.Kendra heads.

5. It was decided that the guidelines would be modified in

accordnace with the decisions taken in the meeting and would be
circulated to all the SACFA members for comments, if any, within
15 days. Thereafter these would be circulated.

6. The Chairman also pointed out that WPC & SACFA operations
would be computerised with the appropriate technical and finan-
cial assistance. Digitised maps are available with Survey of
India and adoption of these maps in the work of SACFA would
further streamline the process of site clearance.

7. Dr.Mahesh Chandra of NIC told the meeting that a proposal

for establishing 'Geographical Information System' with six
-figure coordinates of a location has been submitted to WPC for
approval. Role of NIC will be to establish the system based on
digitised maps available from Survey of India and make it avail-
able to SACFA and WPC for a period of three years. The cost of
this project is likely to be Rs.2.2 Crores. This does not include
backlog data entries. If approval in principle for this project
is given NIC will start working on it.

7.1 The Chairman agreed for the project in principle and asked
WPC to process the case further.

8. Wireless Adviser informed the meeting that 10 SACFA mem-

bers have acquired E-Mail facility and as such siting applica-
tions could be sent to them electronically. Other SACFA Members
were urged to acquire this facility at the earliest so that
applications could be sent to them also electronically to over-
come difficulties of physically sending the applications.

8.1 The member from Rlys requested SACFA Sectt. to send them
brief for the meetings also electronically which was agreed to.

9. Wireless Adviser informed the meeting that the next Pleni-

potentiary Conference of the ITU will be held in Oct./Nov.1998
and requested SACFA members to send their proposals for the
Conference to the WPC Wing at the earliest so that further action
could be taken for finalising Indian proposals to the Conference.
He said that a formal communication in this regard will be sent
to all SACFA members in due course. This was agreed to.

The meeting came to an and with a vote of thanks to the

chair.
 GUIDELINES TO FACILITATE SELECTION OF SITES
for SACFA Clearance.

A Notes:
-----

(i) The process of siting clearance and that of frequency

assignment are different. Hence, siting clearance should not be
construed as frequency clearance and vice-versa. While making
frequency assignments, technical examination, including coordina-
tion with concerned departments, as appropriate, are undertaken
to ensure electromagnetic compatibility with other wireless net-
works and as such frequency assignment process is not part of
SACFA procedures.

(ii) If an antenna installation is found to be causing

interference or obstruction to other existing wireless networks
or aircraft flying the same shall be dismantled immediately.

(iii) These guidelines do not replace SACFA procedures.

B Following are the guidelines provided by various SACFA

members as related to their organisations to facilitate selection
of sites which may have good chance of getting approved:

ured from mean sea level.

Description of communication/Navigational facilities:-

1. VOR/TVOR/DVOR:-V.H.F. Omni Radio Range (VOR), Terminal V.H.F.

Omni Radio Range (TVOR) and Doppler V.H.F. Omni Radio Range
operating in the VHF band of frequencies 112 to 118.0MHz radiate
signals whereby an aircraft with the help of an instrument in
its cockpit when tuned to the ground equipment frequency automat-
ically gets his direction with respect to the facility. This
helps an aircraft to navigate on a predetermined course or to
home to an airport served by the facility.
2. ILS:- It is an abbreviation for "Instrument Landing System".
It serves to help an aircraft to make a safe landing on the
runway served by the ILS in condition of poor visibility. It
comprises of the following component facilities:-

(i) Localiser:- This facility radiates VHF signals which when

picked up by an aircraft, guide it onto the centre line of the
runway in the horizontal plane. Normally situated about 305
metres from the runway end.

(ii) Glide Path:- This facility radiates UHF (Ultra High Frequen-
cy) signals. It is normally situated about 275 metres to 305
metres from the runway threshold and offset about 122 metres to
137 metres from the centreline of the runway. This provides the
glide angle information to a landing aircraft with the help
of an instrument in the cockpit which when tuned to the glide
path frequency indicates whether the aircraft is flying up/down
along the correct glide angle.

(iii) Outer Marker/Outer Locator:- Outer Marker facility operat-

ing on 75 MHz in the VHF band is normally installed along the
extended centreline of the runway at a distance between 3.5 and 6
nautical miles( 1 nautical mile-1853 metres)

It produces radiation pattern to indicate to the landing

aircraft the predetermined distance from the threshold along the
I.L.S. glide path.

(i) ASR- It is as radar facility serving an aerodrome to scan

the air traffic within 50 to 60 nautical miles of the aerodrome.

(ii)ARSR/SSR- Air Routes Surveillance Radar is a high power long

range radar covering a distance of 200 nautical miles approx. It
scans air traffic to a larger distance than ASR.

4. Communication/Navigational Facilities:-

(i) Microwave Link- It is a radio facility whereby mostly radar

intelligence is carried to the Air Traffic Control Display site.

(ii) Extended Range VHF- It is a VHF two way air-ground communi-

cation facility employing high power VHF transmitter. The normal
VHF range of 150 to 200 nautical miles is extended to about 300
nautical miles.

(iii) UHF Link:- A radio relay facility operating in Ultra High

Frequency Band.

(iv) Beacons:- These are radio transmitters operating in the MF

band from 200 to 400 KHz radiating omni directionally in the
horizontal plane. An aircraft equipped with a suitable cockpit
instrument can get its direction automatically with respect to
it.
(v) Remote Receivers:- These are radio receiving stations (HF
Band) installed at remote sites away from factory/industrial
areas to avoid interference like man-made static etc.
B.1.2 Appropriate details of civilian airports like location
of airports, their coordinates and height of their ARPs
above mean sea level as given in Ministry of Civil
Aviation Notification no. 288, are given in appendix-1
to these guidelines which may also be taken into account
while selecting a site. These are subject to revision
