DGCA considering upgrading the syllabus of pilots
New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is considering upgrading the syllabus of pilots to ensure that all of them get automatically trained to operate at least the Category-II Instrument Landing System to overcome low visibility problems.
"We are thinking on those lines ... to modify the syllabus so that every pilot in the country can be CAT-II compliant," DGCA chief Kanu Gohain told reporters here.
DGCA was also considering relaxing flight take-off norms during foggy weather to allow planes to fly at low runway visibility conditions.
"The proposal is on the drawing board. We have had meetings with the airlines. Europe also faces same problems (of fog). So we are studying the regulations prevalent there as well as in the US (prepared by the Federal Aviation Authority)", Gohain said in reply to questions on the proposal to allow the 'Low Take Off Minima'.
