The Directorate General of Civil Aviation, (DGCA) on September 22, 2024, issued an Authorization of Instructors and Line Training Captains for Scheduled Commercial Operators with Fixed Wing Aircraft and for Approved Training Organisations.
This Civil Aviation Requirement is issued under Rule 29C and Rule 133A of the Aircraft Rules 1937 laying down the minimum requirements for the authorization of instructors as provided for in Rule 38A of the Aircraft Rules, 1937 for scheduled commercial operations with fixed-wing aircraft. An Instructor is an operator/ATO employee, “authorized” by the Directorate General Civil Aviation to impart instructional training to an operator. To provide adequate trainers for line training and meet the objectives of an operator’s/ATO’s training programme, this CAR lays down the minimum requirements for an operator to “authorize” line training captains (LTCs). The appointment of Line Training Captains is an operator’s function and responsibility for standards rests with the post-holder Training of the operator. Approval/authorization of DGCA is not required for LTCs.
