According to reports from ARY News, the Civil Aviation Authority has prepared a response to the ICAO’s Significant Safety Concerns (SSCs) which would be sent before February 3.

The ICAO has sought a response from CAA till February 3, after it identified Significant Security Concerns (SSCs) regarding the personnel licencing and training in relation to the licencing of pilots.

Sources said that Pakistan is in talks with the British Civil Aviation Authority to adopt a UK-like system to ensure transparency in licencing and examinations of pilots.

The UK aviation authority had offered to install a system according to the international standards which would help Pakistan to remove concerns of ICAO besides raising the standards of pilots’ licences issued by CAA.

Sources report that the British system for conducting pilots’ examinations and other processes will make the licences of Pakistani pilots acceptable all around the world.
