Following the recent Germanwings scare where a pilot locked his co-pilot outside the cockpit and crashed a passenger laden plane in a mountain, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of India might make psychological test mandatory for the aspiring pilots.
The decision also comes after a recent incident where an Air India pilot and his co-pilot got involved in a scuffle inside the cockpit. The government, therefore, is planning to have a three-phase monitoring of the psychological health of aspiring pilots that will start right from the time the aspirant passes his 12th exams.
