Indigo Lady pilot Flew with Fake Licence

  •   Sun, Feb 27 2011 09:33:14 AM

New Delhi, Feb 27 (DC): The director-general of civil aviation (DGCA) has lodged a complaint with the Delhi police against a woman pilot for allegedly flying a commercial airliner (Indigo) on a fudged licence.

Captain Parminder Kaur Gulati had allegedly repeatedly failed the test for her pilot’s licence but managed to get a licence by transposing her picture on the marksheet of a successful candidate. Her deed came to light when the DGCA launched an investigation into her “rough landing” of a passenger aircraft at Goa international airport on January 11.

“The DGCA has investigated. I have revoked her (Ms Gulati’s) licence with immediate effect. We have also lodged a police complaint,” Mr E.K. Bharat Bhushan, DGCA, told this newspaper.

The DGCA investigation of the Goa landing showed that Capt. Gulati had used the fragile nosewheel just under the cockpit for the touchdown instead of adopting the normal practice of using the main-landing gear (MLG), which comprises two sets of sturdy rear wheels capable of taking the weight of the aircraft at great speed

    Such a person should be handed capital punishment.This act has tarnished the image of safe and secure flying in india,who would be held responsible for the damage she could have caused,had she flown the a/c's for some time.I think this is done in order to spoil the image of the country's best affordable airline...............

    Such persons should be put in jail for life time. Others who claim as trained from her institute also should be examined again. People should not fly again in such airlines who risks passangers life,evenif the price is less. Our life is more costlier than few hundred rupees saved on indigo.

    You have a valid point here. Now we know why our space/Moon missions get dived into the sea, less than a minute after blast off. Rocket Operators with fake certificates.

    Browsing online in Boston a couple of days ago,( I hope all of you did too) there was a man who refused to fly on Indigo flight because it was operated by a female pilot. Poor Guy!! He was deplaned.

    He must have a good foresight!!

    Fake driving licences, medicines
    etc are real facts of life India
    but the fake licence to fly a
    commercial aircraft was like
    giving a burning lighter to a
    mentally sick person inside an
    oil tanker.

    This lady and the person or
    persons worked behind this deception must be
    put into jail for ever. She
    could have killed hundreds of
    passangers, and thousands of
    people on the ground. How, we
    can fly in India with this kind
    of report? How many pilots of
    the aviation industry in India are
    truly qualified to fly an aircraft?

    This goes to confirm a joke between Chinese PM and Manmohan Singh, where the chines PM says to MM Singh. "This turban is made in China, and the label which says MADE IN INDIA is also made in china."
    Fake/Forgery is not new to India, This fake pilot licence should taken as a joke not seriously

    It is very evident that the licence is a fake one, but what we need to understand here is that a Captain does not become overnight.... This lady has been flying for a while, its only this time she has been caught.
    There surely seems be some high intentions behind this. "Remember 9/11".

    Is this the same lady pilot???

    A Mumbai-bound flight was delayed by one-and-a-half hours at the Delhi airport Friday morning first by fog and then by a passenger who did not want to travel on a plane piloted by a woman.

    Passengers on board had a curious story to tell as to why Indigo flight 6E 179, supposed to depart at 8.10 a.m., could not take off before 9.40 a.m.

    "First the flight was held up by a slight fog. Then, just when we were about to fly, the doors were opened again at around 9 as a middle-aged man seated a couple of seats away from me objected to a woman piloting the plane," co-passenger Partha Guha told IANS.

    The man apparently turned jittery after the customary flight announcement was made, giving the pilot's name - it was a woman.

    "The man first started grumbling to co-passengers, 'Marna hai kya? Ghar nahi sambhalta, plane kya sambhalegi?' (I don't want to die! She can't take care of the house, how will she take care of a plan?)

    "He called the airhostesses and objected to the woman pilot. Ground staff were called and they took him out of the plane. This situation did not change for nearly 40 minutes even as other passengers became restless and upset."

    The man relented only after he was told he would be taken off the plane with his check in baggage.

    An airport official admitted that there was a "mentally unsound" man on board the plane.

    In India we know (Shameless) you can get any licence just by little-bit of bribe. But shocking to know you get aircraft licence. Irresponsible airline appointing without verifying pilot licence...Developing Nation...

    Fake certificates, marriages, recruitment (after taking heavy bribes) You can see this happening in every sector, not that it doe not happen in other countries. But in India the percentage is very high.
    This sums up the situation in India, Where a candidate with talent will never get a chance to perform in this beautful country.

    How can a authority give licence to fly an aircraft as a captain before verifying the qualifications and experience.

    Speaks volumes about the DGCA testing and internal airline checking by test pilots who are supposed to carry out periodical testing of pilots (frequency more than once a year). Perhaps the test procedures are also fake and certificates are obatined for a drink or free lunch? GROUND INDIGO AND DGCA STAFF!
