Chris Najomo, on Thursday, the NCAA emphasized that no pilot is allowed to fly a Nigerian-registered aircraft without holding both a valid pilot licence and a current medical certificate as stipulated under the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig. CARs) Part 8.4.1.4.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cContrary to the impression created, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority maintains a rigorous and internationally recognized system for certifying and monitoring the medical and professional fitness of all pilots operating in Nigeria,\u201d Capt. Najomo stated.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">While acknowledging the Senator\u2019s right to raise safety concerns, the NCAA said it found his comments misleading and therefore deemed it necessary to provide factual clarification in the interest of the public.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the Authority, holders of Commercial Pilot Licences (CPL) and Airline Transport Pilot Licences (ATPL) are required, under Nig. CARs 2.3.5.1 and 2.3.7.1, to possess a valid Class 1 Medical Certificate before being allowed to operate any aircraft.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThese medical certificates are issued only after comprehensive aero-medical examinations conducted by NCAA-authorized medical examiners and subsequently reviewed by our in-house aero-medical assessors,\u201d the statement read.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It explained that the examinations cover a wide range of physical and psychological evaluations, including cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, and visual health, as well as screening for psychoactive substances or medical conditions that could impair flight safety.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nig. CARs Part 2.11.2.6(b), the statement added, outlines the mental and physical fitness standards required of pilots, ensuring that no person with a condition capable of suddenly incapacitating them is certified to fly.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Medical certificates, the NCAA said, are valid for 12 months for pilots under the age of 40 and six months for those 40 and above, after which fresh examinations are mandatory for renewal.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Authority further cited Nig. CARs Part 8.5.1.5, which prohibits any crew member from flying within eight hours after consuming alcohol, while under the influence of alcohol, or using any psychoactive substance capable of impairing judgment or alertness.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn line with this regulation, NCAA conducts random and unannounced alcohol and drug tests on crew members. Tests may also be carried out when there is reasonable suspicion of intoxication, and results are admissible as legal evidence,\u201d Capt. Najomo added.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noted that NCAA safety inspectors conduct daily ramp inspections across airports nationwide, checking aircraft documentation as well as the licences and medical certificates of flight crew. Any detected irregularities, he said, attract immediate sanctions.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Najomo recalled that in August 2025, the Authority suspended the licence of a ValueJet pilot who attempted to depart without proper clearance\u2014an action he said underscored NCAA\u2019s zero-tolerance stance on safety breaches.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt is therefore inaccurate to allege that Nigerian pilots operate under the influence of substances or without adequate oversight. Our procedures are comprehensive and aligned with global benchmarks set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO),\u201d the statement said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noted that Nigeria\u2019s aviation safety oversight system continues to meet ICAO audit standards under the Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP), ranking the country among those maintaining effective safety supervision worldwide.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Addressing the Senator\u2019s assertion that modern aircraft can take off and land automatically, Najomo clarified that while some airplanes have advanced autopilot and autoland systems, they do not replace the role of pilots.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cTake-offs are entirely manual operations conducted by pilots. Autopilot functions are only activated once the aircraft attains a safe altitude. Similarly, autoland capabilities can only be used under specific conditions and still require pilot supervision,\u201d he explained.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He further revealed that no Nigerian airport is currently certified for Category III (CAT III) operations, conditions required for fully automatic landings, therefore, all landings in Nigerian airspace are manually executed by flight crews.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reaffirming the Authority\u2019s commitment to global safety standards, Najomo said the NCAA remains proud of its safety record and continues to ensure compliance through continuous inspections, substance testing, and strict enforcement measures.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe safety of air transport operations in Nigeria remains our highest priority and is never compromised. While we acknowledge the Distinguished Senator\u2019s concerns, they do not reflect the true state of aviation regulation in the country,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe NCAA remains open to constructive dialogue with the National Assembly and all stakeholders to further enhance the safety, security, and global reputation of Nigeria\u2019s aviation industry.\u201d<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tracy Moses The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has refuted allegations by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu regarding alleged lapses in pilot training, substance use among flight crew, and weaknesses&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50880,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-123047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
