Co-Pilots Mandatory on Char Dham Chartered Flights
Uttarakhand's Civil Aviation Development Authority has made co-pilots compulsory on Char Dham chartered flights. Pilots must now file a report after every flight covering weather and other operational details. The new steps follow a crash that killed six people, and they aim to tighten safety checks on these flights.
