16: TEN GOLDEN RULES FOR AVIATION SAFETY

1. Aircraft fly as per laws of physics.

2. Aircraft are not aware of seniority, skill level or qualifications of the aircrew.

3. Superior skill and judgment should be used to avoid potentially unsafe situations rather than to get out of them.

4. Always respect elements of weather and terrain.

5. Strictly follow SOP, orders and instructions.
“Do what is documented and document what you do”.

6. Comprehensive briefing and debriefing is intrinsic part of any flying activity.

7. Aviation is no place for shortcuts, complacency or unnecessary risk taking.

8. If in doubt – “abort” is better option than “press on”.
Fly another day / time.

9. 3Rs Rule – Right person, Right equipment and Right procedure for all aviation related activity.

10. Extra caution / care is required for legacy aircraft and equipment.

15: Air Force Day

Good wishes on Indian Air Force day

 

कई इम्तिहान अभी बाकी है
कई उड़ाने अभी बाकी है
अभी तो नापा है मुठी भर आसमान हमने
अभी तो पूरा अंतरिक्ष बाकि है

 

परिंदों को नहीं दी जाती तालीम उड़ानों की;

वो खुद ही तय करते हैं मंजिल आसमानों की;

रखते हैं जो हौसला आसमानों को छूने का;

उनको नहीं होती परवाह गिर जाने की।

 

मंजिल उन्ही को मिलती है,

जिनके सपनो में जान होती है!!

पंख से कुछ नहीं होता, हौसलों से उड़ान होती है!!

 

नभ: स्पृशं दीप्तम् – Touch the sky with glory

 

Happy Landings

This is resulting in emergence of new world order, new alliances, and changes in economic and diplomatic dealings.

A time bound plan has been enunciated for formation of theatre commands with the aim to increase jointness amongst the three services. It was announced that formation of AD command would be the first step towards this direction.
