Aviation regulator DGCA has charted out a safety action plan with emphasis on reducing unstabilised approaches, a situation during which an aircraft does not maintain either its speed or descent rate among others, to mitigate some identified risks including "runway excursions and overruns".
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has identified seven key safety priorities and developed corresponding safety action plan to mitigate the identified risks, an official release said.
The announcement of the safety plan comes a day after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States restoring India's aviation safety ratings to the to Category-1 but stressing that DGCA would continue sustaining this status.
One of the factors leading to runway excursions is unstabilised approach which continue to land, it said, adding that the endeavour is to encourage pilots to go around when approach becomes unstabilised.
