National Aviation Safety Regulator Barred 90 Spicejet Pilots of Flying The Boeing 737 Max After discovering that they have undergone training for aircraft at Simulator facilities near Delhi where routine supervision explores errors in equipment, especially those related to India, the source told Indian people .
“For now, we have forbidden this pilot from Flying Max and they must succeed in training again to fly max. Also, we will take strict action against those found responsible for hoses,” Arun Kumar, Director General, Directorate General of Flights Civil (DGCA). Spicejet was the only airline in India that operated the Boeing 737 Max, which was based on the country for more than two years after two deadly accidents in Indonesia and Ethiopia who jointly killed 346 people.
In particular, special pilot training for Boeing 737 Max is one of the main corrective steps submitted when it allows aircraft to the sky again.
A senior DGCA official told Indian Express that the error was discovered by the regulator inspectors with “Stick Shaker” at the Simulator facility in Noida. Stick Shaker is a mechanical device that warns the pilot from aerodynamic kiosks which will soon occur by shaking control of the KUK plane hard.
“Boeing said that they would replace damaged equipment in the Noida facility but until then, there was no training that could happen to the Max 737 plane,” the official said.
Boeing has facilities, which opened in 2020 for the training pilot that operates max 737. Boeing in India does not respond to comments that are looking for emails.
Operationally, development could not have an impact on Spicejet operations in the near future with airlines that showed that he had enough reserve pilots for the Boeing Bestseller aircraft model.
“Spicejet has 650 pilots trained at Boeing 737 Max. DGCA has observations on the training profile that is followed for 90 pilots, and therefore according to the DGCA suggestion, Spicejet has limited 90 pilots from operating the Max aircraft, until the pilot undergoing re-training for DGCA satisfaction , “said Spicejet spokesman.
“This pilot continues to remain available for other Boeing 737 aircraft. This restriction does not have an impact on whatever Max Aircraft operation. Spicejet currently operates 11 Max aircraft and around 144 pilots are needed to operate these 11 aircraft. Of the 650 trained pilots on Max, 560 continues It remains available, which is far more than current requirements, “said the spokesman. The aircraft, which was based on the global in March 2019 after Crash, continued the operation in December 2020. At the heart of two crashes, involving airlines Lion Air and Ethiopian Indonesia, is a flight handling system that is called the Augmentation System Maneuver (MCAS).
This system is responsible for pushing the plane’s nose down when feeling a high attack angle that can cause a kiosk. If the plane’s nose is too high, the plane loses speed and tends to enter the kiosk – the situation where he loses flights and can fall from the sky like a rock. In the second case crashes, MCAs read the angle of the aircraft during the climb and force the nose down.
However, it is not only a technical defect that causes an accident. During the investigation, several shortcomings were also found with the process set by Boeing and US Federal flight administration.
The flight regulator in the US has directed Boeing to change aircraft and implement a new training protocol for pilots. The Boeing 737 Max ban was appointed in India in August 2021. Besides Spicejet, a waterman, had not started operations, had placed orders for 72 Boeing 737 Max aircraft.
