“During operations, an aircraft may experience technical snags due to malfunctioning of components fitted on the aircraft which require rectification action by the airlines for continued safe, efficient and reliable air transport service.
These technical snags are informed by the flight crew on receiving an aural/visual alert in the cockpit or an indication of a faulty system or while experiencing the problem in operating the aircraft,” the civil aviation ministry recently told the parliament.
