The pilot reportedly ignored his colleague's recommendation that he ask for ground assistance while landing in heavy rain.
A senior Air India Express pilot ignored the recommendations of his junior female co-pilot while landing in bad weather, and ended up driving the aircraft into an open drain. That's according to a report from India’s aviation authority.
An official at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation , who asked not to be named, told the Hindustan Times the organization found the “incorrect judgment” of the pilot in command to be at fault. The official noted that heavy rain and poor visibility were “contributory factors.” The DGCA reflected on the 13,000 hours and 30 years difference in flight experience between the two aviators, and suggested airlines should avoid pairing pilots with such a gulf in flight time. The two pilots had never worked together before their ill-fated flight.
