@manishasinghal Congrats

@manishasinghal @ari_maj Check this report

Update : Air India : AI-171 Ahmedabad crash. Black box headed to the US for the Federal transport safety authority , NTSB , to carry further investigation (Story- @ari_maj ) The AAIB’s FDR lab inaugurated by the minister of civil minister recently, per this report, is unable to carry through the data retrieval due to substantial impact and damage caused by this violent crash. The NTSB will carry out this investigation along with the AAIB oversight. This is another indicator that India as a growing civil aviation market has lot of catching up to do with evolved markets and technology - hope the lab and investment wasn’t just to tick mark, and there will be further serious advancement. An article by Kevin Bonsor and Nathan Chandler (How Black Boxes Work) put it out in terms of level of sophistication needed. “ For instance, in the Boeing 787, the units can log a whopping 146,000 parameters, resulting in several terabytes of data for every single flight. That incredible load of data is a double-edge sword; it's great for monitoring the aircraft, but it can overwhelm engineers and maintenance personnel. To manage all of that data, they need sophisticated data management software.” AAIB , probably, never expected this catastrophic event , so the AAIB will also learn from this tragic event and up skill and upscale perhaps . (Pics - Economic Times story, what AAIB showed at the time of lab inauguration - the minister and few equipment - guess this crash needed much more) @airindia #blackbox #AviationSafety #aviation #AI171 #airindia @MoCA_GoI

@AnchitGupta9 Once again we lead this historic moment in history. Decisive air battle and dominance of western skies. So proud of my coursemates. Kudos 👏👏👏

As fate would have it, the 138th Pilot Course will go down in history as the nerve centre of the three-day India-Pakistan air conflict in May 2025. The AOC-in-C of WAC, the AOC-in-C and SASO of SWAC, and the Chief of HQ IDS—all belonged to the same course. Barring the legendary 4th Pilot Course in 1971 War , such a concentration of leadership in a conflict from one course has never occurred before.

@AnchitGupta9 @IAF_MCC @SWAC_IAF @CAC_CPRO @HQ_IDS_India @hqwaciaf You missed out on Air Mshl RK Anand just retired as AOA. Even he is from our course 69 NDA.

A rare moment in #IAFHistory ✈️ With postings on 1 May 2025, No. 138 Pilot Course sets a remarkable milestone — six coursemates are now serving as Air Marshals in @IAF_MCC , including four AOC-in-Cs! 🔹 Ashutosh Dixit – CISC 🔹 Nagesh Kapoor – AOC-in-C, SWAC 🔹 Surat Singh – AOC-in-C, EAC 🔹 Jeetendra Mishra – AOC-in-C, WAC 🔹 Makarand Ranade – DG (I&S) 🔹 Manish Khanna – SASO, SWAC 🧵 There have been 266 Air Marshals (Flying Branch) so far. ➤ 51/52 PC had 10 AMs — the most ever. ➤ Only one other course — 114th — had 6 AMs before this. As for AOC-in-Cs (182 so far): 🏅 51/52 PC produced a record 8 — including CAS Dennis La Fontaine. Other courses with 4 AOC-in-Cs: 59th, 81st, 107th, 108th, 114th, 129th, 132nd, and 137th.

@AnchitGupta9 @IAF_MCC Well put across @AnchitGupta9 military aviation has its shortcomings but country’s leadership is unable to bridge the gap by not providing state of art machines at desired rate to keep it free from obsolescence.

Tired of the discourse around the recent @IAF_MCC Jaguar crash and the one before it and the one before and the one... So, got this off my chest! Read. Reflect. And maybe…pause🙏

@IAF_MCC @hqwaciaf @CAC_CPRO @EAC_IAF @SWAC_IAF @IafSac @tracomiaf @MC_IAF @DefencePROPalam @CareerinIAF Congratulations to Air Mshl Mishra on assuming the Command.

@TheSanjivKapoor Nice. No difference except the cell phone in ladies hand.

32 years tomorrow, photos taken 36 or 37 years apart 🙂

@akashpilot @shukla_tarun @IndiGo6E Agree

@shukla_tarun @IndiGo6E Indigo should stop this practice of Pilot making PA in full view of passengers. Indians have miles to cover to be called decent & disciplined....that's why I showed my worry when Serene places like Lakshadweep r promoted for tourism.

And seems the passenger who punched @IndiGo6E pilot has been whisked away by authorities. "Sorry" "No. No sorry"

@ArenaJet Unacceptable behavior of passenger. Need for restrain in hours of delay by pax n ensure safety of crew

You know, this is going to be one of the biggest troubles in Indian aviation in future - Violent Passengers. As of now, it's just one incident. But going forward, as Indian aviation grows and passenger numbers increase, such incidents will likely rise rapidly. Passengers should understand that fog and congestion are beyond the control of the airline & staff. On the other hand, airlines should enhance transparency between the crew and passengers, especially when the delay is lengthy and frustrating. Whatever the situation is, hitting the captain is unacceptable. I hope that this guy is placed on the No Fly list. Similar to FAA, @DGCAIndia should also introduce penalties in case of physical assault. faa.gov/newsroom/faa-r…

@TheSanjivKapoor Om Shanti 🙏🏻

My father passed on this morning. He was suffering quite a lot lately, finally he is at peace. He had a good life and took care of his family and loved ones well. May his soul rest in peace.

@ragarwal @DefenceAccounts @rajnathsingh @adgpi Extended Weekend. Pensioners Plight

This is the status of the SPARSH Service Centre at the capital. One shudders to think of the plight of elderly veterans and widows in back of beyond. @DefenceAccounts @rajnathsingh @adgpi @Ra_THORe @Gen_VKSingh

@AnchitGupta9 @IAF_MCC A well documented account of IAFs operation in Mizoram. Clarifies a lot of misconception citizens may have had. IAF stands for ensuring integrity of nation. #Scorpios my sqn

Mizo Ops 1966 is in the news these days - Summarising the @IAF_MCC role, keeping facts based on the sqn diary records of 29 Sqn, then flying the Toofani's and based at Bagdogra. (1/11) #IAFHistory

@aviatingguru Do you even understand acts, rules and regulations. What has changed is only to benefit defence pilots specially from helicopter stream.

So the DGCA, in a cleverly worded draft CAR, has decided to bring down the military veteran pilots to mother earth. They want the veterans who have been flying the most sophisticated machines with most advanced systems, to go to DGCA approved ATO/FTO, 1/n

@SWAC_IAF @IAF_MCC Congratulations Air Msh N Tiwari on taking over command of SWAC.

Air Marshal Narmdeshwar Tiwari took over as AOC-in-C #SWAC on 01 May 23. He succeeds Air Marshal Vikram Singh, who retired on 30 Apr 2023. On arrival, the Air Marshal laid a wreath on the War Memorial and was presented with an impressive Guard of Honour at HQ SWAC, Gandhinagar.

@SpokespersonMoD @IAF_MCC @rajnathsingh @PIB_India @PMOIndia Congratulations to IAF its machine and finest air warriors behind this mission-what perhaps is first covert operation in aid of civil power. Truly a proud moment for India 🇮🇳 नभः स्पृशं दीप्तम्

IAF's C-130J aircraft rescued 121 personnel from a small airstrip at Wadi Sayyidna, about 40km North of Khartoum in a daring operation on night of 27/28 Apr 23. Passengers include medical cases, including a pregnant lady; besides those who had no means to reach Port Sudan. (1/2)
