No issue bro
Forget state creation
Ebonyi and anambra we are still one,
The thing here is Ebonyi is not financially strong like other south east state, the little the have, the government economically managed it ( by the virtue of the governor being an engineers reducing contractor cost) in carrying out a lot of massive product, but the fact remains building the airport with a very low amount is not the problem, the real problem The are facing is equipping it
If you read the letter well he was only appealing for funds to equip the airport which will be too hard for a state like Ebonyi, (the governor too doesn't want to Borrow loans so that the upcoming government will suffer paying bck)
Am not from Ebonyi
But let give it up for them
The man really tried, this are the type of governor we need in every eastern state)
Obiano too tried
But imagine what umhia would have done if he has the type of funds anambra has)

Rocksvibes234:
Ebonyi State Governor, seeking help from Buhari through the ministry of aviation to buy, complete and commission Ebonyi airport at 10bn.

"And this is the same project some people use to insult Obiano that he's building warehouse and poultry farm compared to the best international standard umahi is building.
Comparing Ebonyi and Anambra.
Now Anaxmbra Airport is almost completed and to start receiving commercial aircraft by November

Truly Umahi was a maverick to have accomplished all he did in Ebonyi state. Having said that, we must say the truth that he was also a crazy megalomaniac to be thinking of building the largest terminal building in Nigeria, even larger than Abuja international airport! Who would use such vast space of terminal building? Chickens and lizards?

Common sense dictates that your first terminal-1 is a small one and from there you could build a much larger second terminal-2, which could take many years and accommodate the growing population using the airport. You don't build the size of terminal-2 as your terminal-1 when you are not even sure that the airport would be that viable.

It's even worse when you know that you don't have the money for such a megalomaniac terminal building, and the worst disservice to Ebonyians is to have such a project ABANDONED after all the billions sunk into it!

gordonbarrett:
You won't see those people that were hailing him earlier. That is what pure ignorance can cause. That one is an engineer doesn't make one an expert in every field of construction. That is a pure white elephant project, even if it becomes completed. Someone just said he is only asking for help to equip the airport, as if that is not the main component of airport construction. I don't know Obiano and he doesn't know me either, but the man is a pure genius. Economics of scale was on point.

I just pity other airports around when ours is completed. All man to your tent!!!

Absolute nonsense. What did Umahi do in Ebonyi compared to what Obiano did in Anambra. Obiano built over 16 bridges and flyovers across the state. How many did Umahi build? When we were saying Umahi was embarking on unnecessary competition you people were appaluding him, besides how much exactly does Anambra have?
Ebonyi was generating more IGR than Anambra before Obiano, Obiano came and took Anambra IGR to first in SE while Umahi was busy building unnecessary flyovers.
Go and compare how much Obiano added to Anambra economy when he came vs now and them compare to how much Umahi added to Ebonyi economy vs now before you can start asking what Umahi would do if he had Anambra money.

[s]Let this thing slide. Umahi is doing his best, Anambra is richer than Ebonyi it's not a competition. Asking for assistance doesn't even mean they ran out of funds, they're probably trying to manage funds.

It means they ran out of funds for the project. Spin it as you want.

Failed Portion Of Onitsha -Owerri Road To Be Fixed Within Three Days By The Federal And Anambra State Governments.

By Ngozi Obileri (ABS News).

The federal and Anambra State Governments have concluded plans to embark on palliative work on the failed portion of the Onitsha -Owerri express road.

The Federal Comptroller of Works , Anambra State, Ashanni Adeyemi made this known during a joint inspection of the area by zonal director of Works , Owerri, federal Comptroller of Works Anambra state, Anambra State Commissioner of Works, Anambra state Sector Commander Federal Road Safety Commission , the Police and other sister agencies.

Speaking to the ABS shortly after inspection of the area, the Comptroller of Works, Mr Adeyemi said the federal government has deployed the services of Julius Berger construction company to put the road back to use.

Mr Adeyemi added that they will fix the road within three days saying that the unfortunate incident was as a result of blockage of natural flood channel with buildings and blocked drainage in the area which led to washing off of the earth underneath.

The Anambra State Commissioner for Works Engineer Marcel Ifejiofor while describing the incident as very unfortunate, regretted the hardship the situation has caused Ndi Anambra and other residents and appreciated the federal and Anambra state governments for responding promptly as the situation demanded.

Engineer Ifejiofor cautioned those who are in the habit of dumping debris inside the drainages to desist forthwith since its repercussions are devastating, even as he pleaded with them to exercise patience as the work will be completed within a short period of time.

The Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps, Anambra State, Mr Ade Irelewuyi noted that they are on top of the situation diverting and controlling traffic along the road to avoid casualty, assuring that they will work in synergy with both federal and state governments until the work is completed.

Yes, there are CAT 2 runway lighting systems and CAT 2 ILS.

I believe the video was posted in this thread a while back in case you prefer a video demo than just researching it. Obiano was right when he said the CAT 2 runway lights had runway Center lights in addition to the edge lights. CAT 1 is just the runway edge lights like we have in Enugu.

The approach lights are part of the ILS system. They are designed to enable the pilot to decide whether to land the plane or not at a certain altitude (The Decision Height). The Cat II systems enable the pilot to make that decision at a much lower altitude than the CAT 1 system. Although Lagos and Abuja airports operate CAT 2 systems, there are CAT 3 systems operated by prime international airports in London, Dubai or New York. The truth is that CAT 3 has more lights installed, but pilots have said it really doesn't provide real advantages over CAT 2. The runway just looks more beautiful because even the touchdown zone has lights in the CAT 3 system.

He is building a standard Olympic pitch without compromising the quality of work there, which is most important, incoming governor will construct stands, above places you mentioned are just local pitches only ignorant mind will compare ongoing Awka pitch to any stadium pitches in southeast. Enyimba pitch isn't Olympic pitch, there is no track and field, Enugu is old pitch, what he is building is Olympic stadium with standard floodlights and scoreboard, and will be completed soon.

OreMI22:
Nwokem,

Since you have data to argue pointlessly, why don't you just use it to research answers to your question?

Auto landing, a function of autopilot is a feature in ALL modern planes to utilize ILS Categories 2 or 3 in an airport to safely land the plane in the touchdown zone of the runway without any input from the pilot. The visual orientation of the correct glide path by the pilot using the PAPI lights is what ILS CAT2 OR 3 will automatically orient the plane computers in the correct glide path to the touchdown zone without any input from the pilot in auto landing procedures.

In fact most pilots love to use the auto landing feature of the ILS CAT 2 OR CAT 3 airports in good, daylight weather because it helps them to test the calibration of the system and be sure it guides the plane computers to the safe touchdown zone of the runway. Incase they have to use auto landing feature of their plane in that airport in very bad weather with poor visibility.

Just google how ILS CATEGORIES 2 and 3 work and what are PAPI lights and get the information yourself on how the ILS systems work for both visual landing by the pilot or auto landing by plane computers using the ILS guidance .

These videos will answer your questions in practical terms if you take the time to fully watch them. They deal with the various aspects of your question i.e. ILS systems, landing light, PAPI light for visual assistance to pilots to estimate their approach height, and the principle of auto-landing by airplanes.

The pilot in the first video did a good job explaining how ILS systems guide a pilot to the runway.

Cjrane2:
That's why there have been appeals to Nigerians and Igbos to enroll in aviation schools and not only reading engineering in local universities.

Hopefully the aviation school by Air Peace will attract more people instead of going to Ethiopia to learn civil aviation .

If i were younger, i would have enrolled in a school to become a certified civil aviation pilot . The pay us much better and tge chances of employment are much higher

Umahi has low self-esteem. He subtly try to compete with Anambra. Recently , he used his leadership role as chairman of Southeast governor's forum to make an Ebonyi king chairman of Southeast traditional rulers. A king with no exposure nor clout. Just to have something over Anambra. Obi of Onicha should keep that post till he dies
