Infra, skilled manpower needed to sustain aviation sector growth: Jayant Sinha

New Delhi:-                      India needs infrastructure and trained manpower to sustain the growth of its civil aviation sector, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha said on Tuesday.   "Land for airports development" and skilled manpower are required to sustain the growth being witnessed by the sector, he said at an event here to launch skill development initiative for aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs).  The initiative comes after a report submitted to the Civil Aviation ministry highlighted that 72,900 technicians and AMEs will be required by the industry by 2035.  However, aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation's data showed that only 3,644 basic licenses and only 159 type rated AME licenses were issued in the last five years.  On an average, eight AMEs are required for maintenance of an aircraft. This figure assumes significance in the light mega  aircraft orders that have been recently placed by domestic airlines.

THE CHINESE AERONAUTS BUILD GYROCOPTERS FROM GAMING JOYSTICKS AND SPARE PARTS

IN HER DREAMS ,  Xiaoxiao Xu flies as birds do, riding the wind on outstretched arms, her body light and free. She shares this recurring fantasy with the self-taught aviation enthusiasts who fill her delightful book,  Aeronautics in the Backyard . The eight men she photographed have little to no formal training in aeronautics. They are farmers, barbers, and carpenters with nothing more than a deep love of flight and a knack for cobbling together airplanes and gyrocopters. Most learned what they know from books and magazines, and happily pour time and money into contraptions that may not actually fly. And not one of them minds at all if people find them odd. "The thing I like the most about the aeronauts is that they dare to be different,” Xu says. “They don’t care about the risks, the chance of failure, or what other think about them. They have a free mind whether or not their planes succeed in lifting off.” These dedicated aeronauts—or nuts—hunt down parts in aircra
