The aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has suspended the license of a GoAir captain for six months and that of a co-pilot for three months for a runway excursion that took place in November last year.
The low cost carrier’s Airbus A320neo aircraft, operating as G8 811 (Nagpur to Bengaluru), had overshot the runway during landing on November 11.
A DGCA probe had revealed that the cockpit crew violated mandatory aviation requirements as they continued to land even after losing visual reference at about 50 feet over Bengaluru airport. “
