In a significant aviation safety breach, the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has suspended a pilot and grounded an aircraft following an unauthorized landing near a school. The incident involved an Air Services Limited Cessna 208 Grand Caravan, registered as 8R-THR, which landed in a non-designated area on Thursday, November 6, 2025. The GCAA announced the suspension and grounding on Friday, emphasizing that these measures will remain in effect until the completion of a thorough investigation. The authority reiterated its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of aviation safety and ensuring a comprehensive examination of the incident. An industry source revealed that while the pilot is experienced, it appears he was not adequately briefed about the landing area. This incident underscores the critical importance of proper communication and adherence to safety protocols in aviation operations.
