As the Chief of Flight Safety of AirAsia India after launch, I resigned and left with 1 days notice.I refused to work for them for a minute after they asked me to hide safety related issues.Such is the safety culture there.They accused me of working for

I set up airlines flight operations after being called fm Singapore. Just culture & people's participation is what I had established as culture.1st ever fatigue management for pilots was made by me but rejected by

Unbelievable, heard one airline fails prospective pilot trainers who follow my blog site

. So much for developing a safety culture.
In 2014 I had prepared & submitted the 1st Fatigue Risk Management System manual & proposal for

, only to be rejected by

saying it’s too futuristic. Leave alone airlines, there is no guidelines for Flight Schools Trainers on how much they can fly in a day
Heads should roll for this blunder,don't you agree?AAIB has published this figure in the VT-TTN incident report to depict the route the aircraft flew from Jammu to Amritsar (top right). All I see in bold is what is written on TOP LEFT!

Wise men say"wait for the accident report & don't speculate" IX1344 accident report was to be released in 5 months, took 2 mth extension citing COVID19. It's 10 mths now, people have lost hope. Anyways don't expect anything out of it.

Persia or East Khorasan was home to 7 Nobel families. The 2nd was the House of Waraz(Hephthalite). The Varha(Waraz)Rajputs in India & Hindu Shahi dynasty are descendants of Khingila. Haji Rattan was in the court of Raja Benipal of Bhatinda.I am a Varha,descendant of Raja Benipal.

Most pilots select 7000 instead of 2600 in the ALT window as the go-around altitude for the A320; however, the aircraft does not follow ALT constraints on a Go-Around phase since there are no predictions on the FMS. 1/2

Pilot reports fatigue on a multiple landing pattern.
Airlines does noting.
Next time Pilot reports fatigue before flight.
Airlines sacks the pilot.

verdict.
Crime never happened. Pilot didn’t operate under fatigue nor did Airline make him operate. Penal action??

The

saga is just the tip of the iceberg. When a company wavers from its core values, that’s when it becomes rudderless. Secondly, who audits the auditors? The US Congress? The world is ruled by lobbyists. Lead, follow or perish.
Custom duty on Aviation Fuel especially for flying schools, grade 80-100LL, from 10% to FREE. Do you think the trainees will benefit? No way, the rich can only become richer. If anyone has knowledge of a drop in training charges, do reply.
