New Delhi: The dawn of a new horizon beckons pilots if far-reaching recommendations of an aviation panel are okayed. The basic requirement for a commercial pilots license (CPL), 10+2 with physics and maths, has been diluted.
The Kaw committee report on restructuring DGCA has suggested these two subjects not be made mandatory. Also, to churn out pilots faster, the panel suggests that to begin with, exams should be conducted on-line on a fortnightly basis as is done by the FAA and results declared the same day. "Later, ODE — Exam on Demand — should be conducted.
The student goes to a specified computer centre, generates the question paper he wants, completes it and gives it in," says Kaw. It wants those appearing for CPL exams to have at least 50 flying hours.
Presently, there's no such stipulation. Medical examination of pilots, presently done at IAF medical centres, has got a shot too. "We suggest DGCA also approve reputed hospitals for this purpose," says Kaw. The panel also wants flying training organisations with inadequate planes, instructors, etc, to have approvals suspended.
