After a notice by aviation regulator DGCA for violation of rules regarding flight duty and time limitations (FDTL), GoAir has been conducting a daily audit of pilots’ roster every evening, Union Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Thursday.
The FDTL norms are there so that the cockpit crew and cabin crew get adequate rest to mitigate fatigue, so that they remain alert during any flight operations.
“During review…Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) observed multiple cases of non compliance of FDTL requirements….in the case of Go Airlines (India) Ltd by both operator and flight crew,” Puri said in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha.
These violations were mainly on requirement of weekly off, minimum rest period, consecutive night operations etc, he added.
