No. 9\/2007) issued on Thursday,  sixth December by DGCA  comes at a time when many a co-pilots in the industry are hard pressed to acquire critical flying experience.<br \/>The AIC that supersedes AIC 7 of 2001 is intended to help co-pilots to acquire vital experience in handling the aircraft during critical phases of landing and take off.<br \/>The AIC says the Pilot-in-Command who is solely vested with the responsibility of the safety of aircraft and passengers therein, may, authorise a Co-pilot of his flight to effect landing and take-off and route flying, under his direct supervision.<\/p>\n<p>DGCA elaborates this supervision in 16 procedures. Here is the first five of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Pilot-in-Command who authorises such operation by Co-pilot shall be either, a DGCA approved Check Pilot\/Instructor\/Examiner or a pilot with a minimum of 1000 hours Pilot-in-Command experience including 500 hours on type who has an accident and incident free record in the preceding three years. The operator should make a selection of such pilots to assess their suitability for giving supervised take offs and landings.<\/li>\n<li>Operators shall maintain up-to-date list of Pilots and Co-pilots who are authorised to give and receive supervised take-off and landing under intimation to DGCA.<\/li>\n<li>The pilot who authorises such flight shall have at least 10 hours as Pilot-in- Command experience on type during the preceding 30 days.<\/li>\n<li>Examiners and Instructors may authorise a Co-pilot having a minimum of 50 hours flying experience as Co-pilot on type, to effect landing and take off under their supervision. However, an Examiner\/Instructor while carrying out the Route Check of a Co-pilot having less than 50 hours experience may permit the Co-pilot to effect take off and landing required for the purpose of the check subject to fulfilling the conditions laid down in this Circular.<\/li>\n<li>Pilots, other than the Examiners and Instructors who are authorised to give supervised take off and landing to Co-pilots mentioned in Para (1) above, may authorise Co-pilots having a minimum of 50 hours and 20 landings (both inclusive) experience on type to carry out supervised take off and landing under their supervision. The Co-Pilot experience shall be counted after the Co-Pilot has undergone First Officer final release check in accordance with Operations Circular 4 of 2007.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of the 16 procedures and the circular in full can be downloaded from <a href=\"http:\/\/dgca.nic.in\/aic\/aic09_07.pdf\">here<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/indianaviationnews.net\/allimages\/aic0907.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest Aeronautical Information Circular (Sl.
