To meet State obligations, DGCA has laid down national regulations to ensure compliance with various Standard & Recommended Practices laid down by ICAO in Annexes to the convention. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is a regulatory body dealing with safety issues. DGCA is also responsible for regulation of air transport services to/from/within India and for enforcement of Civil Air Regulations, Airworthiness, Operations and Air safety. DGCA consists of Technical and Administration Directorates. Technical Directorates are; Airworthiness Directorate, Aerodr- ome Standards Directorate; Air Safety Directorate; Air Transport Directorate; Air Space & Air Navigation Services (AS & ANS) Directorate, Flight Standards Directorate, Regulations & Information Directorate; Aircraft Engineering Directorate, Flying & Training Directorate, Cabin Crew Safety Division & Dangerous Goods Division. Surveillance Enforcement Division (SED) in DGCA Headquarters is the office coordinating and consolidating the activities of ―DGCA Safety Oversight System‖.

Aircraft Engineering Directorate has their another office located at Bengaluru. The DGCA Safety Oversight Programme for the year 2014 is based on the ―ANALYSIS OF THE SURVEILLANCE‖ carried out in the year 2013 which was based on ―RISK BASED OVERSIGHT‖ philosophy. The Risk Based Oversight philosophy included the state to set priorities in safety oversight. This risk based system makes it possible to reduce inspection efforts for good performing organization. The DGCA Safety Oversight Programme has been divided into 4 areas; 1. Surveillance Activities (Planned Inspection) 2. Regulatory Audit (Planned Audit) 3. SOFA Inspection 4. Spot Check (Unplaned Checks) 2 DGCA-INDIA SAFETY OVERSIGHT PROGRAMME 2014 I. Surveillance: DGCA has developed a system of surveillance to ensure continuing organizational, as well as individual, professional competency of license/rating/certificate/approval holders. The surveillance ensures the capability of an operator to ascertain an acceptable level of Safety in the area of Civil Aviation. Surveillance provide essential information of the State of compliance of organization & individual participants, identifying any corrective action needed to bring performance up to the required level. Surveillance aims to identify and correct non- compliance behaviors and unsafe practices before they cause any accident or incident. DGCA surveillance activity covers all participants in Civil Aviation System. (―Participants‖ include all organizations, individuals, products as well as services, procedures & facilities for which an aviation document is required by the Aircraft Rules to operate in the civil aviation system). Surveillance Programme for the aviation activities for the operator/organization shall be inspected as per the Annual Surveillance Programme (ASP). On completion of the surveillance, the deficiencies observed by the DGCA officers are listed and discussed in a de- briefing meeting wherein the operator/organization representatives may give their views. After final discussion, deficiencies/non-conformity notices are listed in Deficiency Reporting Form CA-2001 Rev-1, as per procedure manual of directorates which is duly signed by the officer(s) and forwarded to the concerned operator/organization. For every deficiency observed, the operator/organization is required to set the target date for making good the deficiency on Form CA-2001 Rev-1 and submit the same to the DGCA office for acceptance. On receipt of such form, DGCA officers will review the target date before acceptance of the same. Not with standing the above, DGCA may take disciplinary action such as suspension, cancellation/restricting the scope of approval wherever serious violations of laid down requirements are noticed and urgent action is required. Any failure on the part of the operator/organization to rectify the deficiencie(s) satisfactorily and within the set time frame and as agreed by DGCA, may invite appropriate action as per the Rules. Director General (CA) has operationalised the Safety Oversight Programme (SOP) of 2013 successfully, carried out number of surveillance inspections and detected number of Level- I and Level-II deficiencies. These deficiencies have been addressed successfully by all the stake holders. This has ensured strict compliance of Regulations.This has ultimately led to enhancement in aviation safety. Director General (CA) has approved an improved version of Safety Oversight Programme (SOP) of 2014 based on experience gained during the past from 2009 to 2013 and comprises of all Directorates. Further DGCA also analysed the field data/ descripencies reported during past surveillance inspections. DGCA also identified the weak areas of the operators and the areas of concern.The results of the analysis has been incorporated for the development of new Safety Oversight Programme (SOP) - 2014.The programme has been developed after taking into account the available resources within DGCA. 3 DGCA-INDIA SAFETY OVERSIGHT PROGRAMME 2014 A monthly programme of Surveillance is also prepared, which covers all Schedule/Non Schedule/ PrivateOperators/ General Aviation Organisations/ State Govt. Aircraft and their operations/ Oil companies and also Safety Assessment of Foreign Airlines. DGCA officers from Regional and Sub Regional Offices shall carry out night surveillance for Schedule/Non Schedule operators every month as required.Surveillance Inspection of Foreign Airlines shall be jointly carried out by inspectors from Flight Standards Directorate and Airworthiness Directorate as per the monthly Programme.Survellance Division will co-ordinate in this matter. A monthly progress report on Safety Oversight Programme SOP will be submitted by all the Regional Offices (including their Sub-Regional Offices) to their respective Directorates in Hqrs. by 10th of the following month on prescribed proforma. All Directorates at Hqrs. shall send report to Nodal Officer of SED by the 15th of the following month in the form of Table A, B1, B2, B3, B4, C, E & F. A monthly review of Safety Oversight Programme (SOP) will be held on every 20th of the following month in DGCA Hqrs., wherein monthly progress, short falls against monthly targets will be analyzed by DGCA along with analysis of identified deficiencies categorized into level-I &level-II. All level-I deficiencies will be further analyzed in the subsequent Board of Aviation Safety (BFAS) meeting which is being conducted 5th of the following month in DGCA Hqrs. These deficiencies will be fed into the SOP Data Pool for resolution, tracking and dissemination of safety related issues. Director General (CA) appeals to all officials of DGCA and the stake holders to participate in the surveillance programme in a constructive and positive manner so that regulation are strictly compiled with there by contributing over all aviation safety.It is expected that by collective endevaour India shall continue to remain well above the International standards.

    CORPORATE BUDDHA This case study is prepared by Team Think Tank Flight of the Phoenix The Indian Aviation Industry “Indian aviation market is the 9th largest in the world with size of US$ 16 Billion and has a potential to become the third largest by 2020 and largest by 2030.” Nobody would have predicted this in 1912, when the first air route between Delhi and Karachi was established. The first major development in the sector happened in 1953, when nationalization of Indian Airlines (IA) brought the domestic civil aviation sector under the purview of Indian Government. But government took the first major step in 1990, with its Open Sky policy and various other liberalization policies. In the year 2000, many private players started entering the Indian Aviation Industry, and it still is an attractive sector with great market potential and drivers, like: Foreign Direct Investments in domestic airlines Low Cost Carriers (LCC) Modern airports and a growing emphasis on No-Frills Airports (NFA) Cutting edge Information Technology (IT) interventions Despite all these initiatives most of the airlines operating in India are incurring losses. These losses are due to high operational cost, High cost of aviation turbine fuel, High service tax and other charges and Shortage of maintenance facilities. Present Scenario In the second quarter of 2015, domestic air passenger traffic surged by 19.2 per cent to 20.3 million from 17 million in the corresponding period a year ago. Total passenger carried in June 2015 increased at a rate of 13 per cent Y-o-Y to 8.8 million from 7.8 million in June 2014.

    A Study on the State of Indian Civil Aviation Industry

    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 2 April 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 A STUDY ON THE STATE OF INDIAN CIVIL AVIATION INDUSTRY CMA Dr. Samyabrata Das Associate Professor, Department of Commerce New Alipore College, Kolkata Abstract The role of civil aviation sector of a nation as a facilitator of social, economic, and cultural exchanges needs no exaggeration. Civil aviation plays a central role in the world trade. It acts as a catalyst to the tourism industry. It aids in the generation of employment directly and indirectly. As such, it contributes considerably to the economic growth of a country. In the last two and half decades, the Indian aviation industry has evolved from being highly regulated to a more market-driven sector because of liberalised aviation policies. In this background, the core objectives of the study are (a) To throw light on the current position of the civil aviation sector of India; and (b) To portray the future road-map of Indian civil aviation sector. The study is based on secondary data which have been obtained from different sources like journals, magazines, newspapers, reports, web resources etc. It is evident from the study that Air Passenger Traffic (APT) in India, both domestic and international, registered a positive growth from 2013-14 to 2016-17. During the period between 2006-07 and 2016-17 the capacity, measured in terms of available seat kilometre (ASK), in the domestic market recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.58%. At the same period, the demand, measured in terms of revenue passenger kilometre (RPK), witnessed a CAGR of 10.03%.
