Remember that check pilot we wrote about yesterday? The one who yanked off a circuit breaker to test the pilot?
He’s being “tested” now, by Airline regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). In fact, the Jet Airways senior pilot who pulled the circuit breaker stunt is now suspended.
The pilots had no way to tell how close they were to the ground. Luckily they landed safely.
Ironically, the injured parties (the commander and co-pilot) have also been derostered.
Pilot exercises are supposed to be performed in a simulator, not in a full plane engaging in a commercial flight.
