Most of them being wood and fabric.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 1rem;\">In the Flying Club, the twin seater Indian manufactured Tail wheel Pushpak, quite like a Piper Cub.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As an Airline Pilot (joined Indian Airlines in 1984) I&#8217;ve flown the Fokker Friendship F27 as a Co-Pilot, and after that the B737 100\/200, A300, A330 and the B787 all, as Captain.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><br \/>What is your current job, type of aircraft, and location?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nivedita: Presently, I&#8217;m the Executive Director Flight Safety for Air India, (responsible for the Safety Management Systems, Quality Management Systems, Document Management, Environment Management as well as Emergency Response) Captain on the B787 (reviving my TRI) and am based in New Delhi, India. <\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Have you had\/have any mentors throughout the years?<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nivedita: Basically, I&#8217;ve never shied from asking for help. Growing up with financial constraints , I didn\u2019t have the luxury of attending organised Tuitions or lessons, so it was my Parents, my older sister, the friendly neighbours to begin with. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But to give a direct answer to your question, I can unabashedly say it was Captain Yasmin Rahman, an Airline Pilot from Bangladesh, married to an Airline Pilot, with a daughter, at the time I met her (1985). She affirmed that a woman could be a Pilot, wife and a mother. I believed if she could do it, I could, too. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>How did you get interested in aviation?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nivedita: Wanted to shine, wanted to stand on a Victory Stand, but was not academically inclined, besides, too many girls were better than me in sports. That was my dilemma. Our school was behind the Flying Club and each day was spent watching countless take-offs and landings, the gliders spiralling up in thermals and the eagles soaring majestically. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The sky was the limit, literally. It was my canvas. <br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And my parents supported my every decision . The only rider was that I was required to bring each act of mine to a &#8220;logical end&#8221; (I guess many of you are smiling, reading this, like me).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Do you have any future aviation goals you hope to achieve?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nivedita: I wish someone would get me to go to Space. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If not, I&#8217;m looking forward to a new career in Safety, after retirement from my flying position in Air India.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>While waiting for a call or on a layover, what are some activities that you have enjoyed with other flight crew members?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nivedita:\u00a0With crew members, its generally lots of walking, occasionally hiking in Singapore, Gliding in Varese (Italy) once, a trip to Mt Fuji&#8217;s 5th Station, Cycling in Paris and Copenhagen, watching the Christmas lights in Stockholm, sightseeing in Bethlehem, Jerusalem and bathing in the Dead Sea in Israel and of course frenzied shopping trips in London, New York and Washington.\u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br \/>With friends, while on a layover, I&#8217;ve climbed Mt Fuji, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Tokyo tower, swum in a lake, tried my hand at surfing and failed miserably, Wing Walking with Aerobility in England, Blue mountains in Australia, and driven a lot around. [Also enjoying] many gallons of wheat beer in Germany.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Do you live in your base?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nivedita: Yes, after a couple of transfers in the nascent stages of my career (starting in Calcutta, then in Bombay), now I am in New Delhi. <\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does your schedule require you to be on reserve or do you have a set schedule?<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nivedita: Quite a set schedule, maybe one or two reserves in a month, but flying has come down a lot now, due to Covid, so hardly flying a couple of flights a month. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What does a typical day of flying look like?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nivedita: Relaxing, to say the least.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br \/>Because when you fly, you have to rest, sleep, eat and exercise, all in a particular order, depending on the time of your flight. And finally, when you leave for a flight, you have to let go of all the earthly bonds of home and office. <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br \/>On the B787, we are generally flying Internationally, a single landing. Somedays, it could be Ultra Long Range, with augmented crew (Two sets of Captains and Co-Pilots) <\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br \/>For example, if I&#8217;m flying from Delhi to Washington, the departure is at 2am. <br \/><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>(I am required to be at the airport one and a half hours before departure. \u00a0So from this point I start planning backwards.)<\/em> <\/span><\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2330: I leave home (company transport picks us up-to ensure insurance compliance).<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2230: I have to start getting ready<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Before this, [I] must sleep at least four hours (if I&#8217;m working first in the flight). <\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Light snacky dinner before that, preceded by ironing, packing, etc. <\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">All forms of exercise before lunch to suppress those hormones from playing havoc with my sleep and rest. <\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And of course tying all loose ends to ensure that no one needs me for the next 3-4 days<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><em><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br \/>[With this planning] I can have the liberty of still being the free bird that I dreamt of, while in
