The General Directorate of Civil Aviation of Civil has found multiple aircraft maintenance lapses in an airline audit and airports ordered after the AI171 Air India flight accident, including recurring defects that indicate inappropriate monitoring and correction.
The General Directorate of Civil Aviation of Civil also found soil management equipment that cannot be reserved, such as luggage cars in its surveillance of airports in New Delhi and Mumbai, as well as maintenance procedures, such as controls of tools and instructions of work order.
“All findings observed Duration Surveillance has communicated to operators interested in taking the necessary corrective actions in seven days,” said the regulator in a statement.
The findings point to a culture of aviation security that has not kept up to date with the rapid growth of the industry in India. Among the failures: aircraft maintenance engineers ignored safety precautions and reported that hooks will be rectified, and defect reports generated by the aircraft system were not recorded in technical registration books.
A domestic flight had to be a hero for the used tires observed by the inspectors, while a flight simulator in an installation coincided with the aircraft configuration, and its software was updated to the current version.
The Special Audit Surveillance Party announced after the June 12 accident in Flight Operations covered by Ahmedabad, Aircraft, ramp safety, air traffic control, communication, navigation and surveillance systems, and medical evaluations prior to flight, said the DGCA.
All but one of the 242 people aboard the Boeing 787 Dreamliner died, as well as several boxes on the ground after he crashed into the student shelter of a medical university.
The DGCA said that in one of the two airports, he did not say what data of limitation of obstruction had been updated for three years, and a survey have not been conducted despite the new significant construction near the airport. From the Ahmedabad accident, India has proposed a law to demolish buildings that exceed height regulations.
