New Delhi: No alcohol for one week. This is what the pilots of private carrier Jet Airways have decided as part of a novel way to observe a flight safety week at the airline from January 30 to February 5.
The airline pilots, who have found themselves at the receiving end for one reason or the other, have also decided to adhere to “all stabilised approach” in the operations and flight duty time limitation (FDTL) norms, airline sources said.
A stabilised approach is a key feature to a safe approach and landing and a part of the DGCA formulated Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for safe flight operations.
“We are creating awareness among pilots on how to have a civil life given the FDTL. As part of this, the pilots have decided not to consume alcohol for one week. Also, they will not eat any kind of seafood 12 hours before departure of both domestic and international flights,” Jet Airways sources said.
