HYDERABAD: Air chief marshal R K S Bhadauria has asked trainees at the Air Force Academy, Dundigul to gain the required knowledge to fight future wars.
He asked the faculty at Air Force Academy, Dundigal and HQ Training Command to explore avenues for evolving new training methodologies to make officers future ready. He also suggested reshaping of the curriculum and incorporating new-gen aids.
The air chief visited AFA in the city and participated in a programme in connection with the commemoration of its 50 years on January 19.

Addressing trainees and instructors during a workshop, he appreciated the academy for ‘rendering service in imparting high quality training that provides the bedrock on which young flight cadets go on to become thorough professionals and military leaders’.

Air chief Bhadauria while outlining contours of the emerging security scenario and underscoring requirements for IAF's capability building and technological growth, urged trainees to imbibe IAF's ethos to train hard to prepare for challenges that lie ahead and develop tri-service domain knowledge to fight future wars.
The chief of air staff flew a sortie in a PC-7 Mk-II trainer with one of the qualified flying instructors currently serving at AFA to mark the Golden Jubilee. He also unveiled a statue of the “Eternal Pilot” presented to the Academy by pioneers of 107 Pilots' Course - the first course to undergo flying training at AFA. He released an Indian Postal service Special Cover and Golden Jubilee medallion on the occasion.
