The former British colony of India was divided into present-day India and Pakistan. India became an independent republic on 26th January 1950. It consists of 22 states and 9 union territories. A neutralist policy has been traditionally followed, although there have been several instances of military action, mostly against Pakistan, but also against the former Portuguese India (Goa) and against intruding forces on the Kashmir and Tibet borders. The President is the nominal Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, but control is exercised through the Minister of Defence.

Bharatiya Vayu Sena / Indian Air Force The Indian Air Force is a young service. The oldest of its units is only 60 years old. Its birth in 1932 and its growth to date can be conveniently divided into four 15-year periods: 1932 - 1947 - 1962 - 1977 - 1992. By a coincidence these dates correspond to the major changes in the structure, composition and the capability of the Air Force. The 1990s started on a very unfortunate note for the Indian Air Force in particular. Economic difficulties along with the collapse of the Soviet Union severely affected expansion and modernisation plans, and various key programmes were pushed back by at least half a decade. Major problems with theavailability of spares and support from the ex-USSR affected operations severely during 1991-1994, and serviceability rates declined heavily. Recovery started in the mid 1990s, when India learned from tense lessons. Much needed overhaul facilities were established and where possible, equipment and spares were saved through the widespread use of simulators. The average pilot flight hours are back to the standard 180-200 figure.

The formulation in 1997 of India's first ever Air Power Doctrine (APD) provided the mainmapto modernisation and ensures that the Indian Air Force remains a viable deterrent against its principal potential adversaries.

The Indian Air Force has accepted that the increased costs of maintaining a modern and effective air force in the future would necessitate a reduction in quantitative levels. The MiG-21bis-UPG (or MiG-21 Bison as they are called by the IAF) upgrade programme is finally well underway. IAF's second-generation fighter types - the MiG-29 and Mirage 2000 - will see an intensive avionics upgrade as well as the ability for some of the MiG-29s being equipped for air refuelling. The multi-role capability and very high serviceability of the Mirage 2000 (close to 90%), has led the Indian Air Force placing an order for an additional ten aircraft to be delivered by 2004. The Sukhoi Su-30MK/MKI is the most important combat aircraft programme currently underway. The licence production of this combat aircraft is to start in 2004 and will be completed by 2017. The first Su-30MKs (eighteen aircraft in service with No. 24 Squadron) will be converted to the MKI configuration as soon as the 32 Su-30MKIs built in Russia have been delivered by 2003.

As far as training is concerned the Indian Air Force finally agreed on the choice for the Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT) programme. The contract for a total of 66 Hawk Mk132 was officially signed in Delhi on March 26, 2004. The first Hawks can be found on the productionline at BAE Warton. The delivery schedule for the UK build Hawks will be between September 2007 and February 2008 whereas the locally build Hawks will be delivered between 2008 and 2010. In the meantime, the HJT-36 Sitara (Intermediate Jet Trainer) is under full-scale development and is expected to enter service in 2004 to replace the HJT-16 Kiran.
The HQ of the Indian Air Force Command is located at Delhi and is commanded by the Chief of Air Staff. The Indian AF currently has five operational commands, each of which is under an AOC-in-C (Air Officer Commander-in-Chief) with the rank of Air Marshal. The IAF also has two additional commands - Training Command and Maintenance Command - to maintain a uniform standard in training and maintenance.

Become an Airline Pilot From Australia!

kool.vatsal.dude — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 05:37:29 CDT

Many people are uncertain about the procedure to become an airline pilot. Here we list the normal stages people follow in their progress to their career as an airline pilot.

1. Pass a medical to ensure you meet the medical requirements.
Contrary to popular belief, you do not need perfect health, and you do not need perfect eyesight to become a Commercial Pilot. As long as your eyesight can be corrected to near normal then you can hold the Commercial Pilot licence.
When studying for an Australian Commercial Pilot Licence you must pass a Class One aviation medical examination. You can undertake this examination in India before you come to Australia. If you are not able to undertake a medical with one of the following, then undertake a thorough medical in India - and then you will undertake the Australian aviation medical when you arrive in Australia.

2. Undertake a training course to obtain a Commercial Pilot Licence -
which allows you to be paid for your flying.
This course will take you about 12 months to complete.
You can obtain a student visa to come and stay in Australia.
1. The Australian Commercial Pilot Licence is highly regarded around the world. For many years Australia has been one of the world's leading Aviation countries, and has been recognised as such with the Australian CPL being known the world over.
Many airline pilots flying for all the major airlines around the world started off their career by obtaining the Australian CPL. 2. It is affordable. Now more than ever it is very affordable to study for your CPL in Australia. Have a look at our for an outline of current course fees converted to Rupees. You will see this compares very favourably with studying in the United States. 3. Very sophisticated airspace - ideal for training. Some of the most modern Air Traffic Control systems have been implemented in Australia. And yet, unlike the United States, the skies are not crowded - your training will not be affected by high traffic levels. You get to learn in the most modern airspace environment, without the hassles of overcrowded skies. 4. Australia is close to home. It is not a long way from India to Australia. There are many direct flights each week. Also, the time zones are close together so it is easy to keep in touch with loved ones back home. 5. Australians and Indians are very compatible. You will fit right in when you arrive in Australia! Your culture and the Australian culture are very compatible - you will understand Australians, and they are a very friendly people. Many people from India have settled in Australia so Australians are very used to meeting and speaking to Indians. 6. Ideal climate, ideal land. Australia probably has the best climate in the world for pilot training - that's why many international students currently train in Australia. We have many clear, fine days giving plenty of opportunities for flying. Also, Australia is so large that you will experience many different types of landscape - meaning you will comfortable flying anywhere in the world. 7. Home of the 2000 Olympic games. Sydney was the home to the 200 Olympic Games, and Bankstown Airport (where you will be based) is only a short distance from Olympic Park. Not only will you be able to see where the Olympics were held (and fly over many venues) you will also get to experience all the excitement of being in an Olympic City. 8. Australia is an exciting country. Sydney has more than 400 Indian food outlets, plus lots of markets for shopping. We also have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. There are also many places where you can play and watch cricket - Australians love their cricket almost as much as Indians! During your training you will fly away on overnight trips to see some of the spectacular "outback" and magnificent coastline of the world's largest island. Australia does not share its borders with any other country - so you are free tofly anywhere on the continent. You will see everything from tropical islands, to vast deserts to rugged mountain ranges.
3. Obtain employment to build your flying experience. This can be done in India, or you may choose to work in Australia (subject to obtaining the correct visa).
Indian airlines are currently recruiting pilots with the basic 200 hours required for an Indian CPL, as well as a Command Instrument Rating. Now is an excellent time to get involved with this exciting career. Your career then begins...

Commercial Pilot Licence - Indian students

kool.vatsal.dude — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:22:51 CDT

If you are an Indian student, and would like to study aviation in Australia, then Basair can provide you with a choice of courses. We offer four courses for international students:

Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence).
Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence) - Indian CPL option.
Advanced Diploma of Aviation (Airline Transport Pilot).
Advanced Diploma of Aviation (Airline Preparation - Flight Instruction).

Welcome

A career as a Commercial Pilot is one that is dreamed of by many people. An exciting career, it offers many rewards such as travel, job security and attractive salaries. Decisions that affect the long-term career prospects of a candidate need to be made before any training is commenced, and need to be made carefully. This document will provide you with information about career pathways, and training required to follow those pathways. Hopefully decisions regarding a career in aviation will be made easier.

The path to a Commercial Pilot Licence

The training for a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) follows a similar path, regardless of whether the training is conducted full time or part time. The first stage is to obtain a Private Pilot Licence. This licence allows a pilot to carry passengers with them, but not for hire or reward – they cannot be paid for their flying. The Private Licence will generally be achieved with around 50-60 hours of flight time, and also involves three written examinations. A flight test is conducted prior to the issue of the licence. After a Private Pilot Licence, the trainee needs to build their experience while developing their skills to the level required for the issue of a Commercial Pilot Licence. The Commercial licence is issued after the candidate has achieved 150 hours flying experience, plus passed a written examination and a flight test. At this point the candidate is qualified to be paid for their flying. There are, however two main limitations placed on a "standard" Commercial Pilot – they can only fly during daylight hours, and they must also fly in reasonably fair weather. These limitations are significant for a CPL holder, so additional training must be undertaken to remove them. Generally, a CPL trainee will undertake training for a "Command Instrument Rating" which allows them to fly at night and in bad weather. If desired, the night flying component can be covered on its own as a Night VFR rating. After completion of this additional training the new Commercial Pilot is in a much more employable situation, and is able to pursue jobs in air charter and air freight operations. The CPL holder can also undertake training at this point in time to become a Flying Instructor – probably the best way to obtain that first job in the aviation industry. Training to be an Instructor also increases flying skills, as an Instructor must be able to show proficiency in all flying manoeuvres. Generally, employment will not be possible in the airlines at this point in time as the new CPL holder does not have the flying experience required. This is an important point, and one that is often overlooked when deciding on training options. The CPL holder will have to obtain employment flying small aircraft in General Aviation to build up experience prior to being able to apply to the airlines. This employment can be in the air charter or air freight areas, or maybe as a Flying Instructor. Gaining employment as a Flying Instructor is the easiest way of increasing flying experience.

Medical requirements

The issue of a Commercial Pilot Licence is dependant on the candidate passing a Class One Aviation Medical. This medical includes a general physical examination, plus eyesight and hearing tests. Because an entire career depends on passing this medical, it is generally wise to undertake the examination prior to commencing training.

What do the airlines require?

Full details are given on the following pages, however the following is provided as a guide.
Minimum age 18 years.
Higher School Certificate (or overseas equivalent)
completed.
Commercial Pilot Licence.
Multi Engine endorsement.
Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating.
1000 hours flying experience, including at least
500 hours "in command"

Important considerations

The way you undertake training for a Commercial Pilot Licence has a huge bearing on what your career prospects are in the long term. Unfortunately, many people make the wrong decisions at the beginning of their training and the result is a lost opportunity for an aviation career. There are some fundamental considerations that need to be of primary concern when making your decision: Age: The airlines will generally be looking at taking on flight crew at the earliest possible age, generally 18 years. The reason for this is that there are significant costs incurred by the airlines in training you, so they need the longest return of service that you can give them prior to retiring. This allows them to recover the training costs they have invested in you. For this reason you should avoid any delays in getting to a position where you can be applying for a flight crew position. Experience: The most important factor considered when someone applies for a job with an airline is his or her flying experience. It is the one qualification that all aviation jobs are centred around, and it is therefore the most important qualification you need to obtain. It is crucial that you obtain your Commercial Pilot Licence and other qualifications without much delay, and then start working in the industry to build up your experience. Qualifications: The main qualification for employment as a pilot is the Commercial Pilot Licence. It is of benefit to obtain a further qualification such as a Diploma. A Diploma qualification is generally obtained on a one year course of study, which is a normal period of time to obtain a Commercial Pilot Licence. A Degree, however, will require at least three years of ground study, and only produce the same practical qualifications as a Diploma course. This is a poor option as the delay in obtaining qualifications (an additional 2-2½ years could make you ineligible for entry to the airlines. The Degree qualification will make little (if any) difference to career prospects, as the industry is primarily concerned with practical experience rather than educational qualifications. A candidate completing a twelve month Diploma course of study will have around 1500 hours flying experience by the time the candidate undertaking the Degree course finishes with around 200 hours experience. The Diploma candidate is ready to apply for an airline job while the Degree student is looking for work in General Aviation to start increasing their flying experience. If you would like to obtain a Degree qualification then you can complete studies for this part time by correspondence after completing a Diploma. This is by far the preferred option if you would like a Degree as you receive the benefits of working in the industry and building up experience as quickly as possible, while still obtaining a Degree in the long run.

Summary

From the above, it can be seen that the preferred path to follow for a career Professional Pilot is one that has the following characteristics:
Diploma qualification if possible, or professional course of study.
Study period is no more than 12 months to be qualified and employable.
Involves a wide range of experiences for the trainee, including multi engine simulator training, and high performance aircraft training.
Provides a clear path into employment in General Aviation to build up flying experience.

BOeing 777 family

kool.vatsal.dude — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 10:35:57 CDT

The777Family

Market demand sized, shaped and launched the newest member of the Boeing twin-aisle family -- the 777. The airplane design offers features, innovations and approaches to airplane development that set the standard for delivering value to airlines. The Boeing 777 is the first jetliner to be 100 percent digitally designed using three-dimensional computer graphics. Throughout the design process, the airplane was "pre-assembled" on the computer, eliminating the need for a costly, full-scale mock-up. The airplane is larger than all other twinjet or trijet airplanes and smaller than the 747. It brings the twin-engine economic advantage to medium- and long-range markets. Boeing is offering its 777 customers new innovations that take advantage of the space in the overhead area of the airplane -- the area located between the top of the stow bins and the crown of the airplane. These innovations will allow operators to use the overhead space for crew rest stations and storage The 777 family of airplanes is preferred by airlines, passengers and investors. The 777 seats from 301 up to 368 passengers in a three-class configuration with a range of 5,210 nmi (9,649 km) for the 777-200 to 9,420 nmi (17,446 km) for the 777-200LR Worldliner (Longer Range). The 777—the world’s largest twinjet—is available in six models: the 777-200; 777-200ER (Extended Range); a larger 777-300; two new longer-range models, the 777-300ER and the 777-200LR (the world’s longest-range commercial airplane); and the Boeing 777 Freighter.

Dreamliner 787

About 787 Dreamliner

BOEING 787 DREAMLINER VARIANTS

The Dreamliner aircraft is being designed in three versions, the baseline version, a short-range and a stretched version.
The baseline version, the 787-8, has a maximum take-off weight of 205,400kg. The aircraft typically accommodates 220 passengers in a three-class cabin configuration. The length is 56m. The wingspan is 58.8m and the height is 17.4m. The range is 15,700km (8,500nm). The 787-3 short-range version is the same length and height as the 787 but has a shorter wingspan (51.5m). The maximum take-off weight is 136,075kg and the range is reduced to 6,500km. The aircraft will carry 296 passengers in two classes.
The stretched version, 787-9, has the same wingspan and height as the standard 787 but the length is increased by 6m to 62m. The aircraft carries typically 259 passengers in a three-class cabin layout. The range is increased to 15,370km and the maximum take-off weight is 223,000kg. In October 2006, Boeing Business Jets launched a VIP version of the 787, with an order for four aircraft placed by undisclosed customers.

The 787 family of aircraft, in the 200 to 300-seat class, will carry passengers non-stop on routes between 6,500km and 16,000km at speeds up to Mach 0.85.
Aircraft assembly began in June 2006 with final assembly in May 2007. The first aircraft was rolled out in July 2007 and the first flight is scheduled for June 2008. First delivery (of the 787-8) will be to All Nippon Airways and is scheduled for early 2009. The 787-3 and the 787-9 stretched variant are due to enter service in 2010. The aircraft is highly fuel-efficient and offers lower cost of travel in terms of seat cost per mile as well as the ability to fly directly to smaller regional airports instead of to larger airports where passengers proceed to transfer flights to regional destinations.
In September 2007, BA announced an order for 24 Boeing 787s, to be delivered between 2010 and 2014. The group also has the option to buy a further 18 Dreamliners from Boeing.
