DGCA defers implementation of revised flight duty norms for pilots

The deferred rules aim to furnish pilots with enhanced weekly rest, increasing it from 26 to 48 hours. Additionally, the regulations seek to mitigate the impact of nighttime flying on pilot fatigue by reducing the number of landings during this period. Under the 2019 regulations, pilots could conduct up to six landings at night, a figure set to decrease to two under the new rules.
