As reported earlier by Baaghi TV, on January 27 CAA took action to remove the concerns of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regarding the issuance of pilots’ licenses.
The ICAO had identified Significant Security Concerns (SSCs) regarding the personnel licensing and training in relation to the licensing of pilots and sought a response from Pakistan’s aviation authority till February 3.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has prepared a response to the ICAO’s Significant Safety Concerns (SSCs) which would be sent before February 3, sources told ARY News.
Sources said that Pakistan is in talks with the British Civil Aviation Authority (BCCA) to adopt a UK-like system to ensure clarity in licensing and examinations of pilots.
The UK aviation authority would assist Pakistan to remove concerns of ICAO and has offered to install a system as per international standards, besides raising the standards of pilots’ licenses issued by CAA.
As per reports, the British system will make the licenses of Pakistani pilots acceptable all around the world.
