Air India plane experiences problems in landing

At 1209 hours,the pilots who were on the ILS mode for a safe landing suddenly spotted the signals on the system fluctuating,leading to problems with the coordinates of the Airbus A-321’s landing path.

As soon as the problem was noted,the pilots decided to do a “go around” and informed the Air Traffic Control about their decision against landing,the spokesperson said.

The plane,which was earlier planning to land on Runway 28,touched down safely on Runway 29 after about 20 minutes,he said.

The aircraft later took off on its onward journey to Chandigarh with 151 passengers on board,he added. The ILS enables a plane to land in difficult conditions like thick fog,but the computer system on board and the system on the ground have to tally the coordinates for ensuring proper landing or take-off.
