After the warning, the pilots turned the plane around and managed to land it at Jaipur airport. Installed in an aircraft, the Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS) provides a timely warning
to the flight crew when the aeroplane is in potentially hazardous proximity to the earth’s surface. The DGCA is investigating the matter and taking serious note of the violation with the
regulator suspending the flying licences of two pilots, sources said. The matter has brought attention to the serious lack of aviation safety with the most recent case being a New
Delhi-bound IndiGo flight from Vadodara with 177 passengers on board made an emergency landing at the city airport due to a technical fault. _(With PTI inputs)_
