Third Punjab flight training institute waiting to take wings

 New Delhi: Notwithstanding the slowdown in the aviation sector, the Punjab government is planning to set up a flying training institute (FTI) in Ludhiana. The state government has submitted its proposal to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for approval. If the proposal is approved, this would be the third FTI in the state.

“We have submitted the proposal for developing a flying training institute in Ludhiana and expect to get permission very soon. Initially, we will start with three aircraft; more may be added late, according to the demand,” said Viswajeet Khanna, principal secretary, civil aviation, Punjab.
Presently, the state government is running two flying clubs, the Patiala Aviation Club and the Amritsar Aviation Club, with an intake capacity of 20 students each. These flying clubs has seven operational aircraft, including Cessna 172, Cessna 152 and a twin-engine Beech Hawker Baron G58 trainer aircraft.
Khanna mentioned that they have the latest aircraft to train students, like the Cessna 172, which has a glass cockpit.
