The Acting Director General, Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority NCAA, Cpt. Chris Najomo says licensed flight crew members operating multiple airlines are violating laid down regulations.
He said it has come to the notice of the authority through their surveillance reports that licensed flight crew members utilise the privileges of simulators and proficiency checks endorsed on their license to operate for multiple airlines.
“With effect from the date of issuance of this directive, all operators and holders of pilot licenses are informed that this action will be treated as a violation of the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations.
“In instances where pilots operate for more than one airline concurrently without safety considerations, such actions pose a safety risk to the industry.
“The Authority will take appropriate enforcement action on violators of this directive, effective from 11th November 2024 Simulator renewals from henceforth will be tied to the Operator.”
Najomo noted that the Flight Simulator Training Device/facility approved by the Authority is operator-specific based on the training program and the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)for such an operator.
