To strengthen India‘s aviation sector, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued fresh orders on Standard Operating Procedures to all scheduled, non-scheduled and general aviation operators.
The DGCA has asked all operators to ensure that correct landings are achieved by pilots rather than achieving soft landings at lower ‘G’ values that may compromise the runway stopping distance required. In the directive on Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for approach and landing, the DGCA has stated that strict adherence to the SOPs would result in decent landings acceptable within the limitations of the aircraft without compromising stopping distance requirements.
