The Nigerian Air Force has churned out another set of Instructor
Pilots at the Four Hundred and One Flying Training School Kaduna.
The Instructor Pilots Course had six participants, comprising one Wing
Commander, Two Flight Lieutenants and Three Flying Officers drawn from
different platforms and units in the Nigerian Air Force, who completed
the intensive four-month training.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal
Sadique Abubakar, represented by the Commandant, Air Force Institute
of Technology Air Vice Marshal Abdulganiu Olabisi, noted that Four
Hundred and One Flying Training School had continued to fulfil its
statutory role of providing effective flying training for almost forty
years as evidenced by the quality of its graduands over the years.
He therefore, implored the school not to rest on its oars but to
continue to strive towards more realistic training consistent with the
operational imperatives in the aviation industry, producing the next
generation of Nigerian Air Force aviators.
While congratulating the graduands for marking another significant
milestone in their careers, the Chief of Air Staff reminded them that
as critical elements in the operational cycle, they must endeavour to
contribute their quota to the upliftment of the standard of student
pilots’ training thereby enhancing effectiveness of operations in the
Service.
He also urged the graduands to work harder, read wider and fly with
more precision in order to satisfy quest for knowledge of their
students and set the right example.
