Mumbai: To ensure that
aspiring pilots and commanders do not indulge in forging of marksheets
in connivance with the central examination organisation (CEO), the
directorate general of civil aviation (DGCA) announced that the results
will now be published on the website.
After the fake pilot licence scam broke out where it was found that many
pilots and commanders are said to have forged/tampered with the
marksheets to obtain their commercial pilot licence (CPL) and airline
transport pilot licence (ATPL). "During the investigation it was found
that this was not possible without help and they were aided by DGCA
officials from the CEO and licensing department,” says an industry
source.To curb this menace, the regulator came out with a public notice last
week where it announced discontinuation of issue of result card by CEO
pilots, engineers, flight dispatchers, etc. As such the candidates now
have to down load the result page posted on DGCA website, where his/her
name appears and enclose it along with his/her application for the
purpose of issue of licence.
