The very high standard of weapon training imparted to the GCs in the Academy, also includes the following:(a) Close Quarter Battle (CQB) Range. CQB range developed with an aim to train GCs in reflex shooting and engage targets at close range consists of a total of 15 rooms divided into two firing alleys of seven rooms each and one common room. Two GCs can fire simultaneously in each alley. A total of 30 targets mix of static pop up, traverse and hostage targets are used for firing practice. High-resolution CCTV cameras are placed in each room to facilitate control at all times. Video playback option and live streaming options are also available facilitating waiting details to observe the faults and institute corrective measures accordingly.(b) Location of Miss and Hit Target System (LOMAH). LOMAH is an acoustical projectile detection system installed with an aim to impart quality weapon training to GCs by facilitating application and classification fire. It is all-weather equipment, which enables the live firing and unlike simulators, provides instant results/review of shots to the firer and saves time by obviating physical checking and repairing. The scores obtained by GCs can be retrieved and printed at a later stage.(c) Team Battle Shooting Range (TBSR). TBSR has been introduced for IIIrd term Gentlemen Cadets with an aim of training them on practical aspects of employment of platoon and section weapons in a defensive battle as also to exercise them on fire control orders.Jungle Lane ShootingJungle Lane Shooting is carried out as an integrated part of GCs Exercise GOLABARI and involves exercising GCts on effective engagement of targets emerging in jungle terrain in the backdrop of a Counter Insurgency/ Counter Terrorism scenario. The lanes comprise of various types of targets so placed to exercise GCs on their reflex shooting, quick identification and recognition of targets, speedy engagement and bringing down the aimed fire. The exercise is very effective to instil confidence in GCs for operating in Counter Insurgency/ Counter Terrorism environment which they are likely to be in the thick of induction into such areas after getting commissioned, like for instance Jammu and Kashmir, particularly the Kashmir Valley and stretches along the Line of Control.Obstacle CourseNegotiating the obstacle course for a beginner can be a bit frustrating but with determination, doggedness and encouragement from instructors and fellow trainees, once success has been achieved in crossing all, it becomes almost fun.The obstacle course of IMA today is more enhanced and tougher than it was 3 to 4 decades ago, as acknowledged by veterans.Tactical Training CampsAll the tactical training at IMA is marked by 5 to 6 days of outdoor training camps when GCs are put through the basics of tactical training and endurance under pressure. Survival and living off the land also form part of this programme, which includes an introduction to the knowledge of discerning edible leaves and berries as well as catching rabbits and snakes and of course, know how best to cook them with frugal resources.GamesGCs are encouraged to play as many games as they can and their instructors to play as many games as possible with them The games are basketball, polo, athletics, football, aquatics (swimming, diving and water-polo), volleyball, hockey, boxing and cross-country. A sports meet is held every term /once a year in which teams of National Defence Academy, Officers Training Academies at Chennai and Gaya, Indian Military Academy, Air Force Academy and Naval Academy participate.Sports and Hobbies ClubsMembership of a club is compulsory for GCs. The Academy has the following indoor and outdoor clubs:(a) Indoor. Journalism, arts, music and drama, computer application, GIS and electronics.(b) Sports. Golf, squash, tennis, riding and polo, shooting, archery, gymnastics, and cycling and cycle polo.(c) Outdoors. Driving & maintenance, gardening, aero-modelling, scuba diving, mountaineering and rock climbing, swimming and extra PT for those weak in it.Mid Term Break Sports and Adventure ActivitiesThe mid-term break is organised as the adventure training break. All GCs of 1st and 2nd terms proceed on training hikes to various destinations of cultural, historical and military importance. Adventure activities like trekking, cycling, rock climbing, water sports, paragliding etc. form an essential part of each of these hikes.The Academy undertakes a host of adventure activities for GCs which also include cross country, riding, angling, bird watching, white water rafting and kayaking. Adventure training hikes are conducted to various destinations of cultural/ historical importance which are clubbed with adventure treks/ camps and expeditions. All officers at IMA also take an active part in adventure activities and accompany the GCs in adventure training hikes organised during the midterm breaks.Local multi-activity hikes include white water rafting, parasailing, and cycle expeditions are organized for GCs who stay back in the Academy.During the Mid-Term break, the III termers proceed on forwarding Area Tours to various field formations for familiarisation and interaction with troops.List of Sports FacilitiesA wide variety of sports facilities grounds/courts for games like hockey, football, basketball, volleyball, aquatics, cricket, squash, tennis and golf are located on the campus. The Academy has an Olympic size swimming pool and an indoor plunge bath.credits-Home - SaluteindiaBEST OF LUCK

In general, nearby buildings and towers -- somewhat evidently -- need to be shorter in line with landing and takeoff routes than to the sides of the runways. This is a lesser known aspect of airspace safety near federally controlled airports, in part because it's covered by different regulations.As a paraglider pilot, one of the things I check for sites I'm going to -- hopefully -- fly at are airspace regulations. These typically form large cylindrical volumes with the airport at the centre. There are numerous variants of flight regulations within different volumes. Some you can't enter into unless you are in radio contact with the air traffic controller. Some you can't enter into with unpowered aircraft. In general, directly at the airport is a no fly zone at any altitude unless you are under direct control of the tower. As you go further away, soaring pilots will have flight ceilings above which they can't fly because they will be in the glide paths or takeoff paths of airport traffic.The application to ground construction is obvious, but like many things varies around the world.India - No construction within 150 meters of runways. 150-500 meters only airport operations buildings are allowed. After that, a 1-metre high construction is allowed for every 7 metres one moves further from the runways, except for the take-off and landing paths, for which a 1-metre-high construction is allowed for every 20 metres one moves further from the runways. Roughly speaking, this means that a 100-metre-high construction can be 1.2 km from the runways and a 150-metre-high construction can be around 1.5 km. Source: Building blocks removed around airport areasSingapore - The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore permits buildings to be constructed only up to a maximum height of 280 metres due to the proximity of Changi Airport. Source: Height restriction lawsCanada - Canada has no national height restrictions, but many individual cities do have height restriction bylaws and building is restricted by the national aviation authority (Transport Canada) near airports. Edmonton downtown buildings are limited to about 150 meters due to the nearby airport. Saskatoon has a limit of 76 meters due to a flight path. Source: Height restriction lawsUSA - No antenna over 2000'. Often red and white paint and flight safety lamps have to be installed on high structures (taller than 100 metres) far away from airports.
