Kashmar Ultralight Airport occupies 17 hectares (42 acres) of land and exclusively services light and ultra-light aircraft on its one runway. The airport has one terminal.
Kashmar Ultralight Airport is the first light airport with a defense tower. It is speculated that this installment may have been implemented due to fears of an airplane collision like that of the 1993 Tehran mid-air collision.[1] (The 1993 Tehran incident was ultimately ruled to be not an act of terrorism but rather a result of poor communication between pilots and air traffic controllers.)[2] The defense tower might also, at some point, be used by Iran's military in support of UAV operations in the middle east.
The infrastructure consists of a hangar and office building occupying 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft) and a runway. In 2016, flights began from this airport.[3]
Kashmar Airport and associate, Kavian Parvaz Shargh Company, obtained permission for ultralight pilot training from the country's aviation organization: the first trainee was Captain Mohammad Reza Kaviani.[4]
Infrastructure
editThe Kavian Airport Aviation Science and Technology Training Center is the largest and most equipped ultralight aviation center in Kashmar. It offers training in becoming a pilot, aircraft maintenance, dispatching, avionics, and hospitality. The center provides a large range of aircraft for student pilots and a large hangar for students studying maintenance.
Kashmar Airport can be reached from Mashhad via Road 36 by private car, taxi, or bus.
