After IndiGo and SpiceJet, aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) imposes Rs 10 lakh fine on Vistara. Officials said the airline let an improperly trained pilot land flight with passengers on board at Indore airport. The pilot, who was the first officer on the flight, landed the aircraft at the Indore airport recently without first getting the requisite training in a simulator, they said.

This was a serious violation endangering lives of the passengers on board, an officials noted. A first officer has to be first trained to land an aircraft in a simulator before he or she can land a plane with passengers on board. A captain is also trained at a simulator before he or she can allow the first officer to land the aircraft.
