Arbeids- og flygetidsbestemmelser - India


Høyesterett i India har utstedt en "foraktnote" fordi luftfartsmyndigheten ikke har implementert FTL i landet og således har utvist forakt for tidligere pålegg.
Flight Time Limitations finnes, men ikke arbeidstidsbegrensninger utover dette. Som du har fått med deg så er ikke gjeldende bestemmelser i noen del av verden basert på vitenskapelig grunnlag.

Supreme Court pulls up aviation regulator over implementation of safety norms (India)


New Delhi: The Supreme Court today issued a contempt notice to the Director General of Civil Aviation or DGCA for failing to comply with its orders to implement flight safety norms effectively.

The top court had directed the DGCA in May 2011 to expedite the process of bringing new Civil Aviation Regulations or CAR to minimise accidents caused by pilot fatigue.
The DGCA notified new regulations effective February 2012, but has been accused of not ensuring their implementation by all airline operators.

The new rules mandated that airlines must take into account a pilot's 'duty time' as against just 'flight time'. This means that a pilot's duty hours would include flight time spent as a passenger to report to a port of duty.

The need for reviewing Flight Duty Timing Limitation or FDTL was brought into focus after the Mangalore plane crash of 2010 in which 158 people died. Investigation reports suggested that the pilot was asleep during part of the flight.
