MUMBAI: The recent suspension orders issued by the civil aviation regulator to flight instructors of five flying training organisations (FTOs) will in no way slow down the training of cadets or cause problems for Commercial Pilot License (CPL) holders wanting to keep their licenses valid, clarified the director general, civil aviation on Monday.
In all the five cases, other instructors have taken on the job responsibilities, earlier handled by the suspended instructors. “The Chief Flight Instructor (CFI) and deputy CFI of Pioneer, Aligarh has been suspended for a period of one year. The FTO continues to be functional as a new CFI has been appointed,” said Arun Kumar, director general, civil aviation.
Similarly the CFI of Madhya Pradesh Flying Club, Indore has been suspended. “They already have 3 more CFI/Dy. CFI,” he said.
