DGCA recommends corrective action for AI crew over missed approach in Hong Kong
New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday said that the crew of an Air India flight plying between India and Hong Kong, which carried out a missed approach during landing last year, have been recommended a corrective training programme by the regulator that includes ground training and simulator training for the involved crew.
On 19 October, 2019, a Boeing 787-800 aircraft operated by Air India (VT-ANE) carried out a Go Around while making an approach for landing at Hong Kong due to unstabilised approach.
The aircraft, which was under the command of Captain Parag Parelkar and co-pilot Captain Anil Kainth, carried out a missed approach after aural warning, GPWS caution “G/S” and “TOO LOW Terrain”, was triggered by the systems in the cockpit.
