ANOTHER MILESTONE AND ACHIEVEMENT
OF OUR TEJAS TEAM
TEJAS Team Sets New Record of 500
Flights in One Calendar Year
WE CONGRATULATE OUR
TEJAS TEAM – GREAT – ALL AND EVERYONE OF YOU – YOU HAVE MADE US PROUD
|
TEJAS attained another significant
milestone on 27th Dec 2013, by flying the 500th sortie this year, the highest
achieved in a calendar year thus far. The achievement is significant, given
that the highest number of sorties attained earlier in a calendar year was
less than 300 sorties This feat follows close on the heels of attaining IOC
on 20 Dec 13. The pace of the programme continues with greater enthusiasm
towards achieving newer milestones.
Year 2013 has been exceptionally successful year for Tejas in achieving key milestones while participating in seven detachments all over country, an excellent achievement in itself. Noteworthy accomplishments are In-flight relight (shutting off and then reigniting the single engine), high energy brake testing, flight envelope expansion, R73E missile firing with radar guidance, Air to ground weapon tests, Emergency jettisoning of entire store, Aircraft in wake tests, Wet Runway trials, demonstration of Swing Role capability during exercise IRON FIST. |
