THE Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ) is working with industry stakeholders to mandate the installation of transponders on small aircraft to improve air traffic safety.
The devices allow planes to be detected by the Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) system at Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, providing accurate location and altitude data for better flight management.
Without compatible transponders, smaller aircraft remain invisible to the radar, which poses safety risks.
