8 Chapter Conflict of Interest Since Designated Examiners primarily are FTO employees carrying out functions on behalf of DGCA, therefore sometimes it may result in a situation of conflict of Interest. This issue has been addressed herein for the clarity of the designated examiner. Conflict of interest is defined that any relationship that might influence an approved examiner to act, either knowingly or unknowingly, in a manner that does not hold the safety of the trainee students as the primary and highest priority. The following situations are considered as possible and obvious conflict of interest between the DE and his delegated authority; (a) (b) Level of examiner s financial interest in the FTO; Examiner s direct involvement in FTO ownership, control Or Management; (c) Examiner owning a substantial number of voting shares in the FTO; (d) Examiner having family ties with FTO owners or their instructors. 2

9 Chapter 1 (e) Conducting a Test/Check on a pilot whom the examiner has trained (In case of extension of rating i.r.o. pilots already holding License) (f) The relationship between the candidate under test and the examiner. (g) Any privileges or favour, which could bias the examiner s ability to conduct his duties. The final authority for deciding whether there is any conflict of interest that might affect the Examiner s ability to conduct tests and checks in an impartial manner rests with DGCA. Any effort by an FTO to influence or obstruct a Designated Examiner, in any way, in the course of fulfilling his obligations to the DGCA, may invite enforcement action against FTO and may affect FTO s approval. The validity of any test performed by the affected Designated Examiner will also be treated as null and void. 1.4 Submission of false information, fake logging and violation of DGCA regulations by CFI/Dy. CFI/Designated Examiner regarding any examination/test conducted by him fake logging, fake certification may result in withdrawal of DGCA delegated functions temporary or permanent at discretion of higher authority in DGCA. 3
