LICENSED DISPATCHER

  AGAINST ALL ODDS Aviation has always been my dream career path.   Joining DAS Aviation School as a student, was somewhat like a dream come true. I still remember the excitement of my first day at DAS, surrounded by others who shared my enthusiasm for aviation. I was often told that the course would be challenging, intense and complex as many have given up along the journey.   I was captivated with my passion for aviation and I promised myself to fight tooth and nail to acquire that license against all odds.   The adventure started with intricacies of flight planning, weather analysis, aviation rules set by authorities, planning routes, operational coordination, to name but a few.   At first, the sheer amount of information felt overwhelming, but as I delved deeper into the world of dispatching, I realized that every topic connected to a bigger picture of flight safety. After many months of training, the final hurdle was the licensing exams. The tests inc...

Aspiring Astronaut

Image
SIVA’S TESTIMONY (LITTLE AVIATOR) PASSION PURSUIT We are happy to share a spectacular story of one of our little aviators, who has gone from strength to strength while pursuing his passion! Aspiring Astronaut Since as far back as I can remember, I have always aspired to become the world’s youngest astronaut. However, my parents dismissed it as a mere child’s fantasy. All that changed when I wrote out the landing procedure of an airplane on our home’s whiteboard. This impressed my parents, and they began testing my knowledge and abilities in aeronautical engineering, asking me questions about space, airplanes, and more. On one occasion, during a trip to India on Air Arabia airlines, I had the opportunity to talk to a pilot. In the cockpit, the pilot questioned me about the functionality of the Airbus and even allowed me to sit in the pilot’s chair. My parents were surprised that I was more interested in becoming a pilot than an astronaut, but I explained that one of the requirements to ...
