The main areas of concern related to shortage of manpower in DGCA, lack of regulation of air navigation services in India, independence of aircraft accident/incident investigation and enforcement of aviation regulations. A majority of the findings and recommendations have been implemented. Though there is a shortage of manpower in the DGCA, it is functioning effectively by engaging/hiring the consultants and technical inspectors on secondment etc.
