(File Photo) (File Photo)Aviation regulator DGCA has suspended the licence of an aircraft maintenance engineer of GoAir for failing to detect a fault and clearing the aircraft which had to make an emergency landing at the Delhi airport. A Bengaluru-bound GoAir flight, carrying around 190 people, made an emergency landing due to technical issues on February 8. According to a senior DGCA official, there were problems with the magnetic plug attached to the main gear box but the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) did not notice it and the flight was cleared for operations. He noted that in such conditions, the aircraft should not be operated but the engineer concerned did not read the trouble shooting manual. The DGCA official said the regulator is already in touch Pratt & Whitney seeking more data about the engine.
