‘DGCA should check record of expat pilots’

Mumbai: A pilot's body has said that the civil aviation regulatory body needs to thoroughly check the professional background of foreign pilots — something which is now delegated to the airlines.
In its letter to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) earlier this month, the Airline Pilots’ Association of India (ALPA India) — an umbrella body for all commercial pilots of the country — has said that the regulator body ought to scrutinise competence, skills, history of failures, including remedial and corrective training records of expats, with the same thoroughness as it does in the case of Indian pilots.
