Kashmar Ultralight Airport occupies 17 hectares (42 acres) and exclusively services light and ultra-light aircraft on its runway.
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 hangar and office building will start with 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft) of infrastructure and a runway. In 2016, the first plane landed and took off at this airport.[3]
Kashmar Airport and associate Kavian Parvaz Shargh Company have obtained permissions for ultralight pilot training from the country's aviation organization, beginning with Captain Mohammad Reza Kaviani.[4]
Infrastructure
The Kavian Airport Aviation Science and Technology Training Center is the largest and most equipped ultralight aviation center in Kashmar. It offers training in piloting, aircraft maintenance, dispatching, avionics, and hospitality. The center provides many aircraft for student pilots and a large hangar for students studying overhaul.[1]
Kashmar Airport can be reached from Mashhad via Road 36 by private car, taxi, or bus.
