To ensure that aspiring pilots and commanders do not indulge in forging of marksheets in connivance with the central examination organisation (CEO), the directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) announced that the results will now be published on the website.

After the fake pilot licence scam broke out where it was found that many pilots and commanders are said to have forged/tampered with the marksheets to obtain their commercial pilot licence (CPL) and airline transport pilot licence (ATPL). “During the investigation it was found that this was not possible without help and they were aided by DGCA officials from the CEO and licensing department,” says an industry source.

To curb this menace, the regulator came out with a public notice last week where it announced discontinuation of issue of result card by CEO pilots, engineers, flight dispatchers, etc. “It has been decided that the CEO will not issue any result card to the individual candidates for such examination with immediate effect,” said Nasim Zaidi, secretary, civil aviation.

As such the candidates now have to down load the result page posted on DGCA website, where his/her name appears and enclose it along with his/her application for the purpose of issue of licence.

The matter came into light on March 10 when the Delhi crime branch arrested Captain Parminder Gulati, 38, a commander with Indigo airlines for forging her marksheet to get her Airline Transport Pilot licence (ATPL). During the investigation it was found that though she failed in some papers, she forged her marksheet in connivance with touts and DGCA officials and got herself an ATPL. In case of CPL aspirants, it was found that some flying training institutes logged extra flying hours in the logbooks of the students to complete 200 hours of flying hours mandatory to get the CPL.
