z DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF CIVIL AVIATION INDIA SAFETY OVERSIGHT PROGRAM 2012 (ANNUAL SURVEILLANCE & REGULATORY AUDIT) 1 DGCA-INDIA SAFETY OVERSIGHT PROGRAMME 2012 FORE WORD India is a contracting State to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and a member of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), DGCA India has an obligation to promote safe, orderly and efficient operation of Civil Aviation activities. 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 Traffic Management Directorate, Flight Standard Directorate, CNS & ATM, 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 ―DGCA Safety Oversight System‖. DGCA Hqrs. is located in New Delhi with Regional offices in the various parts of India. There are 14 (fourteen) Regional Airworthiness Offices located at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Cochin, Bhopal, Lucknow& Kanpur, Patna, Patiala, Guwahati, and Bhubaneshwar. Apart from the Regional Airworthiness Offices, there are 5 (five) Regional Air Safety offices located at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad and AED office located at Bangalore. The DGCA oversight program for the year 2012 is based on ―RISK BASED OVERSIGHT‖. The philosophy includes the state to set priorities in safety oversight. This risk based system makes it possible to reduce inspection efforts for good performing organization with high(er) risk profiles. The DGCA Safety oversight program has been divided into 4 areas 1. Surveillance Activities (Planned Inspection) 2. Regulatory Audit (Planned Audit) 3. SOFA 4. Spot Check (Unplaned Checks) 2 DGCA-INDIA SAFETY OVERSIGHT PROGRAMME 2012 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. Surveillances 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 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. Notwithstanding 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 emergent action is required. Any failure on the part of the operator/organization to rectify the deficiency satisfactorily and within the time frame set and as agreed by DGCA, may invite appropriate action as per the Rules. Director General (CA) has operationalised the Annual Surveillance Programme (ASP) of 2011 successfully, carried out number of surveillance inspections and detected number of Level 1 and Level 2 defficiencies. 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 prepared an improved version of Annual Surveillance Programme (ASP) based on experiences gained during 2009 to 2011 and comprises of all Directorates. Further DGCA also analysis the field data/ descripency reported during past surveillance activities. DGCA also identified the week area of the operators and the area of concerns.The results of the analysis has been incorporated for the development of new ASP 2012.The programme has been developed after taking into account available resources in the organization. 3 DGCA-INDIA SAFETY OVERSIGHT PROGRAMME 2012 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 ForeignAirlines. Airworthiness Directorate shall carry out night surveillance for Schedule/Non Schedule operators every month.Surveillance Inspection of Foreign Airlines shall be jointly carried out by inspectors from Flight Inspection Directorate and Airworthiness Directorate as per the monthly program.Survellance Division will co-ordinate in this matter. A monthly progress report of ASP will be submitted by all 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 15 th of the following month in the form of Table A, B1, B2, B3, B4, C, E & F. A monthly review of ASP/Audits will be held on every 20th of the following month in DGCA Hqrs., wherein monthly progress, shortfalls against monthly targets will be analyzed by DGCA along with analysis of identified deficiencies categorized into level II. All level I deficiencies are analyzed in the Board of Aviation Safety meeting which is being conducted 5 thof the following month in DGCA Hqrs. These deficiencies will be fed into the ASP Data Pool for resolution, tracking and dissemination of safety related issues. Director General (CA) appeal to all officials of DGCA and the stake holders to participate in the surveillance programe 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. II Regulatory Audits Besides the surveillance, regulatory audits will be carried out during the year with an aim to ascertain the internal control of any organisation in its activities and to ensure compliance of regulatory requirements. A circular on Regulatory Audit Policy and Program has been issued on 21 st December 2011, enclosed (Appendix 1) Regulatory Audit Program (RAP) - 2012 .

E-Mail: [email protected] , Mobile: 91+94405-71846 ABSTRACT This paper measures the technical efficiency of various airlines operating in India over a ten-year period, 2001-2010. For this, the Input Efficiency Profiling model of DEA along with the standard Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to gain additional insights. The study period is divided into two sub-periods, 2001-2005 and 2006-2010, to assess if there is any impact on the efficiency of airlines due to the significant entry of private operators. The study includes all airlines, private and publicly owned, both budget and full service, operating in the country offering scheduled services on domestic and international routes. While several studies on efficiency of airlines have been conducted globally, a research gap exists as to similar studies concerning airlines in India. This paper addresses that gap and thus contributes to the literature. Key Words: Airlines in India, DEA analysis, Input efficiency profiling, Productivity analysis, Technical efficiency. Introduction The civil aviation industry in India has come a long way since the Air Corporation Act was repealed in the year 1994 allowing private players to operate in scheduled services category. Several private players showed interest and were granted the status of scheduled carriers in the year 1995. However, many of those private airlines soon shut down.

    Recent Trend in Indian Air Transport with Reference to Transport Economics and Logistic

    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Recent Trend in Indian Air Transport with Reference to Transport Economics and Logistic Dr Vijay Kumar Mishra, Lecturer (Applied Economics), S.J.N.P.G College, Lucknow Air transport is the most modern means of transport which is unmatched by its speed, time- saving and long- distance operation. Air transport is the fastest mode of transport which has reduced distances and converted the world into one unit. But it is also the costliest mode of transport beyond the reach of many people. It is essential for a vast country like India where distances are large and the terrain and climatic conditions so diverse. Through it one can easily reach to remote and inaccessible areas like mountains, forests, deserts etc. It is very useful during the times of war and natural calamities like floods, earthquakes, famines, epidemics, hostility and collapse of law and order. The beginning of the air transport was made in 1911 with a 10 km air mail service between Allahabad and Naini. The real progress was achieved in 1920 when some aerodromes were constructed and the Tata Sons Ltd. started operating internal air services (1922). In 1927 Civil Aviation Department was set up on the recommendation of Air Transport Council. Flying clubs were opened in Delhi, Karachi, Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1928. In 1932 Tata Airways Limited introduced air services between Karachi and Lahore. In 1932, Air India began its journey under the aegis of Tata Airlines, a division of Tata Sons Ltd.
