Jun 7, 2006 (newstodate): Kurumoch International Airport has received a reward for "Outstanding Achievements in the Field of Flight Safety" by Flight Safety Foundation International.
Only aviation organizations that have provided accident-free operations for at least 10 years and achieved the highest rates in flight safety qualify, and so far Kurumoch Airport is Russia's only airport to have landed this coveted trophy.
In 2000, Kurumoch International Airport became the first Russian airport to implement satellite approach patterns and visual approach patterns, and Kurumoch was one of the first Russian airports to add the Full Standard Briefing in accordance with ICAO's flight control standards.
Together with KBAS state unitary enterprise at Samara, the airport has developed an experimental model of the glidepath system called Glidepath-04, and the first test phase of the experimental model has recently been completed while the start of phase two is now imminent.
Glidepath-04 is a brand new unique system that helps a plane approach to land with zero-zero visibility, meeting Meteorological Minimum Category II and III conditions.
