Title - “Importance of Documentation in Operational Performance of Pilot during Flight Journey”

Introduction, Importance & Significance of the study

This project is related to the staff working on airport. There are so many airlines operating internationally and domestically. Before entering the airport everybody has to go through the security system. Nobody including the working staff and passengers can go without security checking. Working staff at the airport has to be alert always because there little carelessness can be very dangerous. They should be very careful while interacting with the passengers. Documentation is given very much importance including the working staff.

Documentation is very useful & important in any organization. In this project documentation basically contain all the necessary information required by the pilots hence documentation can’t be taken lightly. They have their own importance they can’t be left out or misunderstood. Documentation is a systematically arranged data required and can be accessed easily when needed.

Recent studies have proved documentation to be very much important required for the simple reason because through documentation everybody who is in any sought of difficulty can go through it and probably get a solution. Hence, neglecting this resource can be dangerous so the people preparing these documents need to be very sharp and accurate in order to avoid any problems.

Before flight being operated the whole mechanism is thoroughly checked. Cabin crew has to clear their performance latter duly signed by the captain which states their earlier flight record. Before entering the flight all the crew members including pilots have to go through the medical check indicating whether they are fit to fly or not. Pilots are given the flying sectors according to their experience. Pilot study the sector carefully which he is asked to operate. Cleaning staff do their work  of cleaning the whole flight regularly.

Air India is the only government operating airlines. Air India was founded by J. R. D. Tata in July 1932 as Tata Airlines, a division of Tata Sons Ltd. (now Tata Group). On 15 October 1932, J. R. D. Tata flew a single-engine De Havilland Puss Moth carrying air mail (postal mail of Imperial Airways) from Karachi's Drigh Road Aerodrome to Bombay's Juhu Airstrip via Ahmedabad.

Documentation department is very important department because this department provides all the necessary information to the pilots which are required during operating flights. Whatever changes during flight all the information’s are provided by this department. This is the only department by which pilot comes to know the limit of passengers, capacity of cargo, fuel, etc. This is the only one department those connected to every international and domestic airport. Lots of document are there on aircraft. Pilot only refer those documents which are required during operation of flight. While operating the flight the required page is kept on front by the pilot. Even on these documents the security check is done.

On airport, document section is given too much importance because among these documents if any of the documents is missing or incorrect this may result in pilots performance. Before operating the flight pilots check for all these documents casually because his little carelessness can result in a disaster. All these documentation are properly checked by the authorized persons then send to this department for further process. Before operating the flight the pilot check all these documents and sign a acknowledgement.

Rationale

The documentation department as by name indicates that mainly document oriented activities are done in this department and this is the most important activity for the pilot operating the flight. The contribution of the working staff in documentation department is sole for the documents needed by the pilot operating the flight. And if DGCA success in up-grading working condition in document department then there can be improvement in the performance of overall activities leading to the more convenience for pilots, working staff and passengers.

In DGCA first line documents come from companies like JEPPSEN and hence development of documentation department assumes critical significance both for present as well as the future.

There is no relax for the working staff due to the importance of the documents required with the most accuracy every time. Hence systematic up-gradation of documents with all the necessary things will make a good impact on every one related to documents and create a positive impact in the documentation department encouraging them to do their work more efficiently and accurately.

Documentation department is a valuable asset for DGCA hence there is need to invest time and effort in the development. 

OBJECTIVE

1) To understand the flight safety and importance of record keeping and need of documentation

2) What aspects of are critical of record keeping for the pilots performance

3) To study the standards that are applied in such record keeping and its importance worldwide for safe flight operation

4) To formulate and work out most effective way of data management and suggest suitable methods of record keeping.
