AAIB Recommends Enhanced Pilot Training and Communication Recording After Aviation Accidents
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has issued safety recommendations following two separate aviation incidents. After a June 2025 helicopter crash in Kedarnath that killed seven, AAIB advised pilots to complete at least 50 hours of hill flying before single-pilot operations and recommended recording communications at the Sitapur control centre. In a separate 2023 Learjet accident in Mumbai causing serious injuries, AAIB suggested a one-time review of fixed-wing pilots' training records, emphasizing mandatory simulator exercises and safety guidelines for non-scheduled operators to enhance flight safety.
