Director General of Civil Aviation M Sathiyavathi had in April said an internal committee of officials from the DGCA was looking into framing new norms for assessing pilots' mental health, a move triggered by the Germanwings plane tragedy in March in which a mentally disturbed co-pilot had deliberately crashed the plane into the Alps, killing all 150 people onboard.
