Speaking to ILNA and touching upon renovation of navigation equipment and systems, Siavosh Amirmokri said that that systems in the field of navigation operation are divided in three groups of navigational aid, communication and monitoring (radar system) that 90 percent of the needs in the communication system is provided by the domestic producers and there is no concern in this field due to the country’s capabilities.

He went on to say that in the field of navigational aid in the past four years and during the JCPOA, the company purchased major part of its required equipment and some of the systems came on stream and they are now in use.

Pointing to the condition of monitoring systems better to say radar system, Amirmokri said in this field the country is to some extent dependent on foreign companies, adding that major part of needs in this field were also provided during the JCPOA and the country bought two radar systems and installed them and these two systems cover the activities of the two national crowded airports and one radar system will come on stream fully by next April.

He reiterated due to the cruel sanctions, the company resorted to the domestic producers to provide some of its needs, adding that Isfahan Industrial University is one of the producers which has signed contract for manufacturing advanced radar MSSR-S and the university is to deliver it by the end of next year.

He added that in the past, Iran used to provide this radar system from France and Spain and now Isfahan-produced radar will be used in the national navigation.

Flight Check airplanes fly preplanned low-altitude patterns–such as grids, orbits, DME arcs, tracks, instrument approaches and low (50 ft agl) passes along the full length of the runway–often in the opposite direction of the normal traffic flow

Ali Abedzadeh, who is also the head of the Iran Civil Aviation Organization (CAO), added, “Specialized Iranian experts have achieved good success in repairing engines and have been able to overhaul the hot and complicated section of the engines through applying appropriate technologies,” Fars News Agency wrote.

He noted that Boeing and Airbus refrain from repairing the damaged parts of the planes that are in Iran, making the country move toward developing the needed technologies domestically.

“We have developed the capability to design these parts and can manufacture them. Of course, they have an identity and are based on standards,” Abedzadeh said.

The official added the US had piled “huge pressure” on plane manufacturers to avoid providing Iran with the technical and operational information needed for repairing and overhauling its aircraft.

The comments come as Iran has managed to get around a series of American sanctions that sought to ground its aviation sector through the imposition of harsh penalties on countries and organizations that provide services to the Iranian airlines.

Those pressures even intensified during the spread of the new coronavirus pandemic in Iran when some European governments refrained for a while from allowing flights by Iranian airlines, meant to evacuate nationals from Europe, to land.

Earlier, Abedzadeh said Iran would soon lift its own pandemic-related ban on international flights, adding foreign carriers would start their flights to Iran in the very near future.

An Iranian aviation official announced in 2016 that Airbus and Boeing had granted permission to Iran for conducting the maintenance and repair operations and producing spare parts.

Maqsoud As’adi Samani, a member of the Iranian Aviation Companies Association, added, “Airbus and Boeing have given the Iranian aviation industry the right to carry out plane maintenance and repair operations as well as manufacture spare parts.”
