The National Government Coordination Secretariat (NGCS) and The Office of the Prime Cabinet Secretary (OPCS) team who conducted field verification visit to inspect priority government projects in Uasin Gishu County, have praised the Model Context Protocol (MCP) projects at Eldoret International Airport, noting that they are up to standard to ensure air safety within Eldoret controlled atmosphere, the whole country and beyond.
MCP projects include the Supply, installation and commissioning of a Very High Frequency (VHF) and Directional Finder (VDF), a remote position and extension of the Area Control Centre (ACC) and Disaster Recovery Centre (DRC) and the Air Traffic Management (ATM) System.
Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) in charge of maintenance, Alfred Obuny explained that the VDF system plays a very crucial role in the aviation industry by enabling the air controllers to have situational awareness in their controlled atmosphere.
He noted that, through the integrated system the technical team is able to trace any frequency interference to the airport's specific frequency which is 119.4 MHz.
