DGCA issues amended norms for operating powered hang gliders
Aviation regulator DGCA has issued amended norms for operating powered hang gliders in the country.
Now, a person cannot fly a powered hang glider without being authorised by a DGCA approved examiner/ instructor.
Besides, the examiner/ instructor should be a person who has done 50 hours on a powered hang glider and has at least 10 hours on a dual machine.
“Such approved examiner/ instructor shall check out and authorise other persons to fly,” the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has said.
Certain changes have been made by the watchdog to the Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR) pertaining to ‘Manufacture, Registration and Operation of Powered Hang Gliders’.
