New Delhi: National carrier Air India may request aviation regulator DGCA to reconsider its order removing A.S. Soman from the post of its flight safety chief after discussing the issue on Monday.
A.S. Soman, who was appointed to the post in January, was removed on Friday on the charge that he had failed to preserve the Digital Flight Data Recording (DFDR) for the mandated period.
“The airline received the DGCA order only on Friday. The management will discuss the issue on Monday and then take a call accordingly,” a senior AI official said.
According to regulatory norms, a scheduled airline has to monitor data for every flight and this should be kept in the records for six months.
