New Delhi, March 10 (Zee News/WION): On February 22, Flying Officer Avani Chaturvedi created history by becoming the first Indian woman to fly an Air Force fighter aircraft.

Avani became the first Indian woman to fly a fighter aircraft solo when she flew a MIG-21 Bison in her first solo flight from the Indian Air Force base in Jamnagar, Gujarat.

Avani, who hails from Rewa district in Madhya Pradesh, was declared as the first combat pilot along with two of her cohort, Mohana Singh, and Bhawana Kanth. The trio was inducted into the Indian Air Force fighter squadron on June 18, 2016.

They were formally commissioned by then Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar.

Mohana Singh and Bhawana have also completed training to fly a fighter plane and will soon fly fighter planes. All three were given training in January. All three are holders of university degrees in Engineering.

Asked about how does it feel being the first female fighter pilot, Flying Officer Avani told WION: “Machine doesn’t know your gender.  Be it a boy or a girl, you’ve to be competent, the Indian Air Force doesn’t discriminate. To make the 30 mins of sortie work you’ve to do a lot of groundwork, the contribution of the team that supports is immensely important.”

“I’ve done my schooling from a Hindi medium school. The journey of being a fighter pilot has been about a lot of learning. I’m still in the training phase of being an independent pilot,” Avani added.

-She dreams of being part of the future combat missions and fight for the nation when duty calls for guarding the Nation’s skies.

-On night flying experience she says, ”It was new to me and it was the best thing that ever happened after coming to Kiran ac. I remember the small puffs of beautiful crackers bursting 1000’ below me on my first take off in night flying phase. The ones I used to gaze from below and was amazed at when I was a child.”

-”I was on my first Sector Solo Sortie by night on Kiran ac. While operating in a sector I witnessed some lightning close to me which frightened me for a moment. I immediately initiated rejoin and during descent I encountered clouds. I faced difficulty in discerning between the stars in the dark sky above and the small clusters of light on the dark ground beneath. Soon I realized that I was not able to maintain any connection between instruments and the visual indications of aircraft attitude.”

-”I recalled what my Instructor had taught me, ‘no unnecessary head movements, switch over to Instruments, Trust your Instruments’. These words echoed in my head, I disregarded the visual indications and continued descent to a lower altitude relying totally on instruments. Once visual with the ground, I got oriented and recovered the aircraft safely,” she said.
