DGCA issues fresh safety rules for civilian aircraft flying from defence airfields at night
Following a state government aircraft meeting with an accident while landing at a defence airfield at night, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued fresh instructions on precautions to be taken while carrying out night operations to and from a military airbase.
A safety bulletin issued to all aircraft operators by DGCA’s Air Safety Directorate a few days ago states that during night time landings, visual approach should be given the last preference and instrument landing should be opted for.
