Mumbai: Indian Commercial Pilots Association has sent a letter to the Civil Aviation Minister citing concerns over a procedure change in Air India. Air India has changed the flight operating procedures for narrow-body A320 aircraft stating that the acceleration altitudes should be brought down.
The pilots say that Air India did not follow the due procedure, while making the decision and so it is not clear how and why the move will benefit the airline.
"Without any detailed study and without ensuring adequacy of power, any alteration of the certification process is a gross violation of original certification of airworthiness and serious flight safety violation," said ICPA, the apex body of erstwhile Indian Airlines pilots.
