US aviation body to audit DGCA

 The regulatory oversight of Indian aviation has been under constant observation of leading international agencies. FAA, Federal Aviation Administration is going to audit the DGCA, Directorate General of Civil Aviation for the third time since 2013.

This is going to occur after the audit done by ICAO, International Civil Aviation Organisation last November A senior DGCA officer stated that it is only a routine check that the FAA wishes to do and also  that the FAA conducting an audit soon after ICAO is mere coincidence, considering the fact there were no safety issues found during the ICAO audit.

The most recent ICAO audit recommended, that air navigation services should come under a different regulatory agency.

The fact that the FAA audit is to take place in a month or two might be a little risky, considering the fact the DGCA is currently engaged in making the changes recommended by the IACO.
