Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation is mulling
one-time surveillance for all domestic airlines to monitor passenger
safety. “We have taken permission for one-time surveillance from the
Director General to monitor flight operations quality assurance (FOQA),”
said a senior DGCA official.
This action was taken after state-owned Air India was unable to provide the required data for its flight AI-513, which risked passengers’ lives on its Bengaluru-Hyderabad flight. The aircraft touched and bounced off the runway while making a landing attempt.
On a complaint of a passenger, the DGCA started a probe, only to realise that Air India did not have digital flight data recording (DFDR), which furnishes all details of the flight, including temperature, take-off and landing details, cabin pressure, and weather report.
