New Delhi: Aviation regulator directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) has proposed to regulate operations of smaller aircraft on the basis of their take-off weight, setting standards in line with global practices.
In case the proposed rules are finally notified, non-scheduled aviation companies operating smaller aircraft like Beechkraft 200 and Cessna-170 would stand to gain more from the liberal regulation.
“The proposed categorisation delegates more responsibility on operators. It is going to be in conformity with international standards,” said Brigadier MK Idnani of SRC Aviation.
Chief flight operations inspector (CFOI) Ajay Singh in the DGCA, who headed the committee on classification of air transport, has suggested grouping of general aviation aircraft into two categories – airplanes with take-off weight of 5,700 kg and above with the other falling into 5,700 kg and below category for safety and operations regulation.
