42 Army aviators pass Combat Army Aviation Training School in Nashik

Nashik: Forty-two Army aviators from Course 16 passed out from Combat Army Aviation Training School (CATS) in Nashik on Friday. The event was followed by some breathtaking display by the Cheetah, Chetak and Dhruv helicopters which showcased the skills of army aviation pilots.
The aviators earned their ‘wings’ and were certified to be army aviation pilots after they successfully completed the 13-month course which was conducted in three phases.
Army Aviation Corps, which completes 25 years of service this month, plays a significant role in northern and eastern sectors and the officer pilots will now be posted at different reconnaissance and observation or utility units.
