DGCA cancels over 150 'irrelevant' regulations, weeds out 4,700 files

New Delhi: In a major overhaul of safety and technical rules, aviation regulator DGCA has cancelled over 150 "irrelevant" regulations, circulars and forms to simplify procedures and weeded out over 4,700 old files.
"The process was undertaken over the past few weeks to remove and delete irrelevant circulars and simplify application and other forms of various kinds," a DGCA official told PTI here.
In several forms, "redundant information was being sought which had no relevance with the particular approvals," the official said, adding that the move has not only reduced paperwork and significantly abridged several forms, but also simplified them.
"A total of 9,330 files were reviewed over the past few weeks and 4,755 of them weeded out," he said.

Regarding changes being made in the aviation rules, he said provisions of the 1937 Aircraft Act were reviewed and some of them were being put up for revision.
As many as 31 Aircraft Rules were reviewed. While 14 of them were in the process of being revised and amended, the
remaining 17 were awaiting such revision. 39 Civil Aviation Requirements (CARs) or rules were reviewed, 22 of them were cancelled and 17 were being revised.
