The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has issued a stern warning to flight crewmembers, particularly pilots, against engaging in concurrent employment with multiple airlines using their approved simulator and proficiency check privileges.
The regulatory body emphasized that this practice poses a significant threat to aviation safety and contravenes the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations.
The NCAA stated that such violations would be treated with serious consequences to ensure compliance and uphold safety standards within the industry.
A letter addressed to all aircraft operators by Capt. Chris Nojomo, the Acting Director-General Civil Aviation (ADGCA), with the head: ‘Prohibition o Ad-Hoc Flight Operators for Multiple Airlines Background,’ dated November 6, 2024, with the reference number: NCAA/DGCA/AOL and obtained by Daily Independent, said that the unprofessional conduct was discovered by its surveillance reports.
NCAA in the letter insisted that the flight simulator training device/facility approved by it is operator-specific based on the training program and the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for such an airline only.
