After IndiGo, the aviation regulator DGCA has imposed a Rs 10 lakh fine on SpiceJet airlines for training its Boeing 737 Max aircraft's pilots on a faulty simulator. Sources say this move could have adversely impacted flight safety. DGCA had last month barred 90 SpiceJet pilots from operating the Max aircraft after finding them it found them being trained on a simulator that had its stick shaker on the co-pilot's side inoperative.
