LOK SABHA
The APJ Abul Kalam
Committee on fighter aircraft accidents made a total of 84 recommendations.
Out of these, 47 recommendations have already been implemented
and 26 are under various stages of implementation. Eleven recommendations
were not accepted. As such, no recommendation has been left un-addressed.
A continuous and
multi-faceted effort is always afoot in Indian Air Force to reduce
air crashes and improve flight safety. Measures to enhance the
quality of training to improve the skill levels, ability to exercise
sound judgement and situational awareness of pilots are being
pursued. Constant interaction with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd and
original equipment manufacturers of concerned countries are also
maintained to overcome any technical defects.
This information
was given by the Defence Minister Shri George Fernandes in a written
reply to Shri TM Selvaganapathi in Lok Sabha today.
