Young pilots of the Indian Air Force will now hone their flying skills on advance simulators which will train them in dealing with all possible operational requirements including stressful conditions. Addressing a seminar in New Delhi, IAF's Vice Chief Air Marshal K K Nohwar said the present requirement of intensive training at

affordable cost can be effectively addressed by focusing on simulator-based training. Mr Nohwar said the IAF has extremely versatile simulator for young Air Traffic Control (ATC) flight cadets with 200 degree visibility. He said the IAF will also have link simulators which will reduce the cost of flying training, deployment and fuel bills. Mr Nohwar said IAF's vision for future is to develop a scenario where platforms and weapon system for all services

are integrated and simulators are networked so that individual as well as ground training are conducted on a common platform with a common doctrine.
