I fail to understand the logic behind having three caliberation aircraft. With none of the country's airports' rwys having ILS on both end, no Windhsear detection systems and pathetic state of ATS infrastructure, CAA is focussed on Navaid caliberation alone?

Saudi Arabia (for sure), UAE, Burma, Bangladesh and Srilanka are the few countries I heard these calibration aircraft flies to, to do their calibration on Nav Aids.
