Under cloud DGCA appoints 'ineligible' flight inspector
(India)
CHENNAI: Hardly a month after the US flight safety
regulator warned of downgrading the Indian aviation sector for safety lapses and
conflict of interest, it was found that a flight operations inspector (FOI) was
appointed in violation of norms. Even after failing the pilot-in-command line
test in his first attempt, M Khaleel Anwar was elevated to the
post of examiner and subsequently as FOI, flouting civil aviation requirements
(CAR) laid down by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
The
norms prevent pilots who fail the first command training from becoming an
examiner or FOI. Moreover, a note sent by the Civil Aviation Safety Advisory
Council (CASAC) to the DGCA said Anwar is holding a US passport
(FOI posts are only for Indian citizens as the job involves handling classified
aviation documents). It also said Anwar owns a Houston-based company that
supplied software for DGCA's automation project. Anwar is also holding the
post of chief pilot ATR with Jet Airways.
