Hyderabad: The fire mishap that gutted the State government’s helicopter Augusta Westland-139 and six other training aircraft of AP Aviation Academy in December 2012 was waiting to happen, given the total disregard for the fire safety measures.
This was the view of the three-member committee that submitted its report to the government on the major fire that raged at a hangar in Begumpet Airport on December 17 night last year. “It was an accident that was waiting to happen and action should be taken against those responsible for the serious lapses -- both in the AP Aviation Corporation and AP Aviation Academy,” the committee is believed to have recommended in its report.
The committee members -- H.N. Mishra, Assistant Director, Director, Air Safety, DGCA, Hyerabad, T.P. Das, Principal Secretary, Home, I.Y.R. Krishna Rao, Special Chief Secretary who carried out a detailed inquiry -- noted that the premises did not even have ‘No Objection Certificate’ for fire safety.
