A Cessna 150 crashed in H Block Model Town killing both pilots of this twin seated aircraft. It is time that CAA revises minimum educational qualifications for trainee commercial pilots so that a level of maturity is attained to avoid any immature handling of such aircrafts. The world has revised such minimum qualifications for those aspiring to qualify for CPL with an objective to join an airline. Air accident investigation in Pakistan is notorious for never reaching any conclusive results and mostly there is a cover up on part of CAA.
When Walton and Lahore Airports were constructed, they were located far away from city, clear from highly inhabited congested areas. Similar was the situation in Karachi, Multan, Islamabad and Peshawar. Even the disastrous terrorist attack on PAF Drigh Road base which resulted in loss of lives and three expensive naval aircrafts has not deterred public access to this sensitive area by presence of commercial marriage halls constructed next the runway.
There was a vast area towards east of Walton which now comprises DHA and housing societies. Can somebody imagine if God forbid a passenger aircraft loaded with hundreds of tons of fuel were to encounter an accident on take-off, or approach path of either runway at Allama Iqbal International Airport.
Land mafia with an insatiable greed for real estate profits dominate powerful uniformed services and are so blinded with desire for quick bucks that they allowed hundreds of bungalows to be constructed on fence of this airport. As if this was not enough several marriage halls have been allowed on land reserved for a golf club, which has further enhanced bird activity that poses a potential life threat for all passenger and cargo commercial aircraft.
