As per government information, a total 1,090 incidents of technical snags have been reported in various aircraft during 2021-202.
Technical snags are experienced during operation of aircraft and these may be due to improper functioning or malfunctions of systems or equipment or components fitted on the aircraft.
Some of the snags may require the flight crew to take actions such as air turn back, aborted take-off, or go around keeping safety of operation in view and are usually taken to avert serious incidents or accidents.
Operators take action to rectify the technical snags based on the guidance provided by the manufacturer before further operating the aircraft.
