India orders safety review of aircraft after Ethiopia crash
India's aviation watchdog issued safety instructions Monday for flying Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft following a crash in Ethiopia. The directions call for the pilot-in-command to have at least 1,000 hours of flying experience and the co-pilot to have 500 hours on Boeing 737 NG type aircraft. The government-run Directorate-General of Civil Aviation said in a statement that it has ordered a safety assessment of the Max 8 aircraft and is consulting with regulators around the world. The aviation agency also said airlines have been asked to ensure compliance by engineering and maintenance personnel. The moves came a day after the second crash of one of the planes in five months killed 157 people in Ethiopia.<br/>
