DGCA issues notice to Akasa Air over plane maintenance lapses

The regulator found that on one of the airline's B737 MAX planes, the tyre pressure indicator system (TPIS) was not properly installed on the right-hand nose wheel by the aircraft maintenance engineer.

He failed to perform the "positive locking" of the TPIS sensor on the right-hand nose wheel but still certified the aircraft as fit to fly, allowing it to return to service, according to officials.

According to the DGCA, these lapses "had occurred due to poor maintenance standards and certification" by the engineer. The DGCA stated that this lapse violated Section 61 of the Aircraft Rules, 1937.
