A not so well known service provided by the Indian Air Force is a guard of honor to their veterans along with a cheque of ₹25,000 to cover all expenses for their funeral which we will donate 🫡
Thank you for the condolences messages by my Twitter family and my eternal gratitude to the Indian Air Force for the guard of honor service provided to my father ❤️

The tough road in the Airline Pilot business is to build yourself a career which requires you to roll up your sleeves and get to work.
Lifestyle addiction, diapers & burnout have sunk more potential high flying careers than an unsatisfactory performance during a check ever could 👨🏻✈️

The documentation says to indicate towards the guarded switch which you need to take action on so point at it, don’t touch and definitely don’t open and confirm 👨🏻✈️

FO : Become a Captain you are set.
Captain : Become a line training Captain you are set.
LTC : Become a TRI you are set.
TRI : Become a TRE you are set.
TRE : When you retire you are set.

The problem with flying only one type of airplane your entire life is that you can’t tell what is good or bad about the airplane you’re flying.
On top of that the mentality of an airplane manufacturer can do no wrong, say no wrong clouds your judgement to the fact that the airplane you fly might not be the princess you think she is.
Airplane manufacturers are like car salesmen who have a vested interest in selling you their product to make themselves a profit. Treat them with caution👨🏻✈️

A question I asked myself as a FO back in the day which you might wish to ask yourself too🧑🏻✈️
As a FO am I willing to bet my Pilots license, career, reputation etc on a Captain doing something unprofessional, stupid, risky etc just cos I’m shy, timid, insecure etc 👨🏻✈️

On most days I am Nana Patekar !!
But on some days I’m not 👨🏻✈️
Rest in Peace Sir and safe travels 🙏🏽

Given a choice I’d choose good Pilot Monitoring over a good Flap Operator any day.
As Captain I need the other Pilot to be the one person stopping me from making a mistake.
That way my bills get paid, my career remains on track and everyone stays safe 👨🏻✈️

Airport tier levels according to Desi ATC 👨🏽💼
Tier 1 airport : Contact XYZ control…
Tier 2 airport : No traffic with me, contact XYZ approach…
Tier 3 airport : Report in contact with XYZ tower 👨🏻✈️

The briefing while checking always stays the same 👨🏻✈️
1. You are accountable for all actions you take. A valid reason is expected.
2. You are allowed to step outside of the SOP’s if it enhances safety.
Communicating with your crew about the same with reason is expected.
