According to the agency report, the Landing System (ILS) instrument was upgraded on the RW 10/28 to comply with the Cat III runway.

According to Globeair data, there are three types of approaches, while an aircraft makes a landing: category (cat) i, category (cat) II, or category (CAT) iii. These three approaches represent different levels of precision tool approaches based on visibility and decision -height. According to the data, the CAT I is the basic form of landing approach, which requires a height of at least 200 feet and a visual range of 550 meters or more. The CAT II approach of an aircraft is with a lower minimum for visibility and decisive height. A height of decision is the height where a pilot has decided to continue with the landing or the approach to cancel to utilize a landing again. Finally, in some cases, a CAT III approach indicates almost zero visibility lands.
