THE Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the US regulatory air safety agency, has initiated a safety audit of India's aviation, reports New Delhi's Business Standard.
The FAA will assess Indian aviation regulators' adherence to the norms set by UN's c (ICAO).
According to a senior official of the regulatory body in India, a five-member team of FAA is currently in the country for the audit of safety guidelines, including the licensing of personnel and airworthiness.
"The safety audit by FAA is expected to emphasise upon the issuing of licences to personnel involved as well as aircraft's airworthiness," a top official told ANI (Asian News International).
The official in the know of the matter added that this FAA team consists of domain experts from legal, investigations and safety fields.
According to the government official, this FAA team will be auditing the safety norms in India for over five days.
In 2018, the FAA had raised concerns over regulatory and guidance material by from India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
In 2014, the FAA had downgraded India's regulatory oversight to Category-II from Category-I.
