“It has been brought to the notice of the authority of a worrisome development in which passengers are admitted into the flight deck (cockpit) especially on commercial air transport flights.
”Aircraft flight decks are designated sterile working environment and the presence of unauthorized persons is both a distraction to safe flight operations and a potential security.
“In addition, it is a violation of Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations ( NCARs) 8.5.1.12 and 8.5.1.13.
”All operators and flight crews are hereby warned to desist from admitting unauthorized persons into the cockpit during all phases of flight operations with immediate effect,” he said.
