DGCA Urges Timeline for Implementing Pilot Rest Norms

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has urged airlines to provide a definitive timeline for the enforcement of new pilot rest norms. The move comes as part of efforts to enhance flight safety and ensure adequate rest periods for pilots, thereby reducing the risk of fatigue-related incidents.

By calling for a timeline for enforcement, the DGCA seeks to expedite the adoption of the new pilot rest regulations across all airlines operating in India. This proactive approach reflects the regulator's commitment to enhancing safety standards and fostering a culture of compliance within the aviation industry.

Adequate rest periods for pilots are essential to mitigate the risks associated with fatigue, ensuring that flight operations are conducted with utmost diligence and professionalism.

As airlines work towards establishing a timeline for enforcing the new pilot rest norms, stakeholders anticipate positive outcomes for flight safety and passenger well-being. The DGCA's proactive stance reinforces its role as a vigilant regulator dedicated to upholding the highest standards of safety and operational excellence in civil aviation.
