Air India taking steps to deal with fog, poor visibility in winter season
The Tata Group-owned Air India faced a Rs 30 lakh fine from the DGCA in January this year for not having enough pilots trained to fly in low visibility conditions ahead of the fog season.
«Air India has adjusted flight schedules to minimise disruptions to long haul and metro-to-metro flights with onward connectivity during the fog window. It has also increased the number of CAT-III trained pilots who are certified to land in low visibility operations and CAT-III instrument landing system,» Air India said without giving the number of such pilots.
CAT III is an instrument landing system, which enables an aircraft to land in low visibility conditions, where the visibility is as little as 50m. Also, pilots have to be CAT III-compliant to be able to land during dense fog.
DGCA defines the period between December 10 and February 10 as the «fog period», while the window for CAT III operations is between 9pm and 10am.
