Fascinated by the sight of an aircraft since her childhood, Neha Fida Wani decided to pursue a career in the aviation industry. And at just 20, she has added wings to her dreams by bagging her commercial pilot\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s license.
\nShe is only the second girl from Kashmir after Ayesha Aziz who has achieved this feat at such a young age. Ayesha had become the youngest student pilot in India in 2011 at the age of 16 years.<\/p>\n

Neha, who hails from K.P Road area, did her schooling from south Kashmir\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Anantnag district, and later moved to Chandigarh for higher studies. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153After finishing 12th class in September 2018, I joined Chimes Aviation Academy in Madhya Pradesh,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Neha told Greater Kashmir.
\nShe said the thing that fascinated her to become a pilot was the thought of flying an airplane. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I was clueless about this profession and would always spend hours surfing the Internet to know how to pursue this career. I have been fascinated by the pilots too,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Neha.
\nNeha said she remembers flying the Cessna 172 aircraft for the first time in her life after getting a commercial license. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I was absolutely thrilled when I flew the aircraft for the first time. The whole journey through attaining my commercial pilot\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s license (CPL) was surreal. I flew in all kinds of weather situations,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I completed 200 hours of flying training, of which 185 hours were on Cessna 172 and 15 hours on DA42 aircraft. As a child I used to think whether one day I will be able to do that or not. I am glad that I am a pilot now. My dream is gradually becoming a reality,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said, beaming with pride.
\nRevealing her future plans, Neha said that she wants to work with Indigo airlines. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my dream,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d she said.
