The United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UKCAA) has raised concerns over Air Peace’s compliance with some safety regulations in the UK.
Michael Achimugu, director, public affairs and consumer protection, Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), said the safety concerns were raised during a ramp inspection by UKCAA.
In a report titled ‘Ramp Inspection,’ and dated April 7, the UK aviation authority said findings showed Air Peace was using electronic flight bag (EFB) functions without operational approval.
UKCAA said the EFB affects the safe operation of Air Peace’s aircraft, adding that the flight captain admitted that the EFB was being used for navigational purposes.
The UK aviation authority said there was “no mounting device for the use of EFB, no charging points or battery for backup”.
Achimugu said UKCAA wrote to NCAA but the complaints would not result in a ban on Air Peace.

He said NCAA is conducting an investigation into the complaints.
“There was a ramp inspection where issues were raised at Level 2 (definitely not Level 1),” the director said.
