Pune: Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has identified seven key safety priorities and developed corresponding safety action plan to mitigate the identified risks. One of the key safety priorities is to reduce "runway excursions and overruns".
The press statement issued by union ministry of civil aviation states that one of the factors leading to runway excursions is unstabilised approach which continue to landing. To emphasize this issue and develop action plan for reducing unstabilised approach which continue to landing, data for the year 2013 and year 2014 were analyzed and shared with the stakeholders during a meeting held on March 27, 2015. The study also points out that majority of unstabilised approaches have continued to landing, which mirrors the worldwide trend.
The aim of DGCA's endeavour is to encourage pilots to go around when approach becomes unstabilised. It also aims to reduce the number of unstabilised approaches by policy intervention and participation by all stake holders and fine tuning of training of pilots.
