New Delhi, May 29 (PTI) Fresh guidelines have been issued to pilots and air traffic controllers on ways to handle unexpected events like systems malfunction, communication trouble or weather-related problems, as was witnessed in the Faridabad aircrash that claimed 10 lives.
Rules have also been framed to counter the problem of fatigue among ATC officers and pilots, apart from their general working conditions.
While several helicopters crashed in bad weather across the country, high velocity winds were suspected to have been the major cause of Thursday's accident involving the air ambulance in Faridabad.
On May 22 last year, 158 people were killed when Air India Express flight IX 812 overshot the Bajpe airport runway in Mangalore and crashed into a deep gorge.
