tremely professional and competent arm which has contrib-
uted significantly to the Indian Navy’s ability to conduct Blue

undergoes ‘ab-initio’ Helicopter, Maritime Reconnaissance and
Fighter training at various Naval Air Stations. The premier Train-
ing Establishment for conduct of Aviation training including
those of personnel belonging to various technical and non-tech-
nical cadres is INS Garuda at Kochi. The following Aviation
