Mumbai: Under the Centre’s flagship air travel scheme UDAAN, which focuses on regional air connectivity, India’s aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), eased norms related to seaplane operations, PTI reported.

The central body said that the revised norms would streamline the infrastructure procedures, pilot training requirements and regulatory compliances. This will allow seaplane services to remote areas, DGCA said in a statement.

The body also said that the revised regulations will incorporate easier training requirements and simplified approval processes for seaplane operations.

"Pursuant to a DGCA Working Group recommending rationalisation and revision of the said regulatory framework, revised regulations have been promulgated," DGCA said.

The new norms allow pilots with a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) to qualify as seaplane-rated pilots after training at any ICAO-recognised training organisation globally. Also, new training opportunities for support roles are expected to enhance employment potential at seaplane hubs nationwide.

The seaplane regulatory framework was first established in 2008. DGCA said that it was due for a review, and collaborative efforts with all stakeholders have ensured that the new regulations address their key concerns.
