The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a show-cause notice to IndiGo for alleged lapses in simulator training of nearly 1,700 pilots, including pilots in command and first officers, officials said on Tuesday. The notice follows scrutiny of records and IndiGo’s responses last month.
An IndiGo spokesperson confirmed receipt of the show-cause notice saying:
We confirm receipt of a show-cause notice issued by the DGCA pertaining to simulator training of some of our pilots. We are in process of reviewing the same and will respond to the regulator within the stipulated timeline.
The DGCA found that critical airfield training (Category C) was conducted using non-qualified simulators for operations at airports like Calicut, Leh, and Kathmandu. These airports, such as Calicut with its table-top runway, have additional operational requirements.
