The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has rolled out a surveillance mechanism to identify non–compliance of flight safety standards and alert the authorities concerned for taking urgent corrective action to resolve the deficiencies.
The comprehensive surveillance programme involving experts drawn from stakeholders like scheduled airlines, non–scheduled operators, aircraft maintenance organisations, design and manufacturing organisations and flying training institutes among others would cover all areas of activities under the DGCA’s regulatory control. These guidelines first issued in 2009 were revised and re–issued on Friday.
