Issue and renewal of pilot licences could become quicker as a part of a Directorate General of Civil Aviation e-governance initiative.
“We have engaged with all the scheduled airlines to integrate eGCA software with their internal software, whereby pilots’ flying records can be directly transferred into their e-logbooks on the eGCA portal. This will not only minimise the time taken to fill e-log books, but also eliminate manual intervention,” said Director General of Civil Aviation, Arun Kumar, on Sunday.
eGCA is the civil aviation regulator’s e-governance mechanism. Launched in partnership with Tata Consultancy Services in 2019, it enables online application and delivery of over 300 services, including various approvals, certifications and licensing.
