The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday rolled out a fresh circular notifying Flying Training Organisations (FTOs) to amplify its surveillance by installing CCTV cameras and other monitoring devices to keep track of the training activities. It should be done within 90 days, said the aviation regulator.
The objective of the order is to enhance DGCA’s oversight of flying training and ground training activities of training organisations to improve the safety of operations and the quality of training.
“FTOs operate from various controlled and uncontrolled airfields. Inspection/surveillance/audit of these flying training organisations are carried out by DGCA as per Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR),” reads the order.
