Why did DGCA change its decision on trainer aircraft and how did it impact student pilots
Explanation regarding DGCA's reversal on trainer aircraft decision and the subsequent impact on student pilots.
- DGCA initially announced a decision to phase out older trainer aircraft due to safety concerns and operational efficiency.
- However, after facing opposition from various stakeholders, including flight training schools and student pilots, DGCA reversed its decision.
- This reversal allowed existing training aircraft to continue operating, ensuring continuity in student pilot training programs.
- Student pilots were relieved as they could continue their training without any disruptions or delays caused by the phasing out of old trainer aircraft.
- The decision change also provided more time for flight training schools to make necessary adjustments and investments in newer training aircraft gradually.
