DGCA: Aspiring pilots’ exam results to be put on the Net

Mumbai: To ensure that aspiring pilots and commanders do not indulge in forging of marksheets in connivance with the central examination organisation (CEO), the directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) announced that the results will now be published on the website.
After the fake pilot licence scam broke out where it was found that many pilots and commanders are said to have forged/tampered with the marksheets to obtain their commercial pilot licence (CPL) and airline transport pilot licence (ATPL). “During the investigation it was found that this was not possible without help and they were aided by DGCA officials from the CEO and licensing department,” says an industry source.
To curb this menace, the regulator came out with a public notice last week where it announced discontinuation of issue of result card by CEO pilots, engineers, flight dispatchers, etc. As such the candidates now have to down load the result page posted on DGCA website, where his/her name appears and enclose it along with his/her application for the purpose of issue of licence.
