Aviation watchdog DGCA has suspended the approval for Alchemist Aviation following an audit done in the wake of a fatal trainee aircraft accident that found the flying training organisation being non-compliant with regulations.
The move comes less than two weeks after the organisation’s trainee aircraft was involved in the fatal accident that killed the two people on board — instructor and trainee pilot.
Following the accident on August 20, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) conducted a special safety audit of Alchemist Aviation on August 23 and 24.
“During the audit, several serious deficiencies and non-compliances of regulatory provisions were found,” DGCA said in a release on Thursday.
Alchemist Aviation is into local flying at Jamshedpur Sonari airport in Jharkhand. The regulator said it has suspended the approval granted to Alchemist Aviation to operate as a Flying Training Organisation.
“The FTO will have to mandatorily undergo a de novo rectification process to ensure obligatory compliances,” it added.
