Why is it in the news?

DGCA has initiated an inquiry into Air Asia India after one of its pilots alleged safety violations by the airline. He has claimed that the airline asked its pilots to do 98% of landings in “Flap 3” mode, which allows it to save fuel. Flaps are part of wings of an aircraft and they are engaged to create a drag during a landing or a take off. When an aircraft is coming down steeply, it needs to have a drag so that it remains slow, and in these circumstances a pilot has to do a “Flap full” landing.

About DGCA

  • The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is the regulatory body in the field of Civil Aviation, primarily dealing with safety issues.
  • It is responsible for regulation of air transport services to/from/within India and for enforcement of civil air regulations, air safety, and airworthiness standards.
  • The DGCA also co-ordinates all regulatory functions with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

Functions of DGCA:

  • Registration of civil aircraft.
