A newly set up high-level aviation advisory body will meet here for the first time tomorrow and is expected to focus on areas where more attention is required to be paid to strengthen the safety environment.
The Civil Aviation Safety Advisory Council (CASAC), set up by the government a week after the Mangalore air crash that claimed 158 lives, has been tasked to recommend best regulatory practices in air operations and other measures to beef up aviation safety.
The first meeting of CASAC, headed by Director General of Civil Aviation SNA Zaidi, would be inaugurated by civil aviation minister Praful Patel.
Besides Zaidi, CASAC has 28 members drawn from various
aviation sub-sectors like airlines, flight operations, air worthiness and operations.
Representatives from International Civil Aviation Organisation, Federal Aviation Authority of the US, Boeing, Airbus and other organisations would also attend the meeting as special invitees.
The CASAC, constituted for a period of one year, would advise Directorate General of Civil Aviation in areas of commercial and general aviation aircraft operations, heliports and aerodromes, air navigation services, air operator certification, maintenance and airworthiness of aircraft, certification of aeronautical products and human performance and training.
Besides reviewing the existing regulatory framework and giving recommendations to strengthen aviation safety, CASAC would examine and recommend incorporation of best regulatory practices, recommend short, medium and long term measures to
enhance safety and reflect public views on aviation safety
matters, the spokesperson said.
Kumar, along with five others, was mentioned as accused in the case but the police dropped the name of the politician.
This case was clubbed with another FIR (no 67/87) with regard to the killing of four persons in which Kumar was the sole accused.
The police prepared the charge sheet in this case but allegedly never produced it before the court to seek prosecution of the accused.
