Nagpur: The Nagpur bench of Bombay high court has given the green signal for the Nagpur Flying Club to be headed by the deputy chief flying instructor (Dy CFI), as allowed under the amended provisions of Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR).
Assistant government pleader (AGP) NR Patil informed the court that the rules were revised in 2018. He stated that the rules governing the appointment of chief flying instructor (CFI) were changed in 2018 and the Dy CFI can be the head of the present category of the Flying Club.
Patil added that since the rules permit the Dy CFI to head the club, the former will report to the directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) for further formalities and take charge.
In their order, the bench headed by justices Anil Kilor and Nitin Jamdar said, “We accept the AGP’s statement that the Dy CFI can head the Club. We expect the respondents to take steps expeditiously and upon the Dy CFI taking charge, the DGCA would carry out further process.”
