The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has rejected an appeal by an Air India pilot to revoke his suspension. The pilot had been suspended for urinating in the cockpit during a flight from Delhi to Jaipur.
The incident occurred on the evening of August 15, when the pilot was flying an Air India flight from Delhi to Jaipur. During the flight, the pilot allegedly left the cockpit to use the restroom, but instead relieved himself in the cockpit. The incident was reported to the DGCA, which launched an investigation.
The DGCA found that the pilot had violated the Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR) and issued a show-cause notice to the pilot. The pilot responded to the notice and requested that the suspension be revoked. However, the DGCA rejected the pilot’s appeal and upheld the suspension.
The DGCA said that the pilot had violated the CAR and that the suspension was necessary to ensure the safety of passengers and crew. The DGCA also said that the pilot had not shown any remorse for his actions and had not taken any corrective measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
The DGCA’s decision has been welcomed by the aviation industry, which has long been concerned about the safety of passengers and crew. The DGCA’s decision is a reminder to all pilots that they must adhere to the CAR and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.
