Ministry to extend Nok Air inspection another month
The Transport Ministry will extend Nok Air's inspection period by another month after the database collection of its pilots' flight hours was found to not have been conducted based on the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand's regulations. Transport minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said Tuesday the inspection period had to be extended as Nok Air submitted only the monthly and annual flying hours of its pilots, calculated according to the calendar. However, according to CAAT, flying hours must be presented in 3 patterns: 7 consecutive days in which the total number of hours must not exceed 34; 28 days with not more than 110 hours in total flying time; and 365 days, with flying hours not more than 1,000. Arkhom said he also instructed CAAT to re-examine the issue and report to him within a month. <br/>
