Mumbai: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will conduct
surprise checks of all airlines to make sure they are fully monitoring
flight data, sources said.
“We have taken permission from the directorate general to conduct one-time surprise surveillance of all the airlines. We have to check whether the mandatory Flight Operations Quality Assurance (FOQA) monitoring is being conducted by the airlines,” said a DGCA official, on condition of anonymity.
The move comes after an runway incident involving Air India's Bangalore-Hyderabad flight on June 28, when the pilot touched down but immediately took off again without stopping.
According to the norms, a scheduled airline has to monitor data for every flight, which has to be preserved for six months.
