In response to a recent aerial attack carried out by Hamas, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has swiftly implemented rigorous regulations governing powered hang gliders. DGCA also made it clear that no person shall carry out test flight on a powered hang glider without a commercial pilot licence with 25 hours of flying on powered hang glider.
The move comes as part of a concerted effort to bolster aviation safety and security measures in the aftermath of the unprecedented incident.
The Hamas terrorists used motor-powered hang gliders to infiltrate Israel has become a symbol of the October 7 terror attack, which has shown that even the mightiest military can be caught off guard by unconventional means of infiltration.
