DGCA suspends licenses of two SpiceJet pilots over technical lapses
Aviation regulator DGCA has suspended the flying licences of two SpiceJet pilots for four months for lapses that led to pressurisation failure onboard a Hyderabad-Jaipur flight in June, according to a senior official.
The lapses of the crew jeopardised the safety of aircraft and its occupants, as per the watchdog.
A SpiceJet Boeing 737-800 plan made an air turn back due to pressurisation failure on June 14 this year.
The official noted that the crew forgot to put the “bleed switch to ‘ON’ position during cockpit preparation, departure briefiing and after takeoff checklist which resulted into pressurisation failure during climb”.
