The Directorate General of Civil Aviation approved the proposal of running a course in Aeronautics and Aircraft Maintenance engineering at Jamia Milia University by Pawan Hans Limited, the University informed on Tuesday.
The DGCA granted CAR-147(Basic) approval under B1.3(Helicopter-Turbine) and B2 (Avionics) category to Pawan Hans Limited to run the B.Sc Aeronautics and Aircraft Maintenance Engineering course at the university, they said.
The University signed a Memorandum of Understanding on July 27, 2017 with Pawan Hans Limited to introduce the CAR-147 (Basic) or B.Sc (Aeronautics) programme as a joint venture with the company.
In order to provide quality education and practical training in aviation, a training organisation has been established enabling students to take module examinations.
There were 66 requirements to be fulfilled in order to acquire DGCA Licence (AME license in Mechanical/Avionics stream), the university added. After the syllabus for the course will be finished, the students will be provided with a Certificate of Recognition by PHL-CAR147 (Basic) and B.Sc (Aeronautics) degree by the university.
B.Sc (Aeronautics) is a three year under-graduate programme providing students a strong specialised aviation knowledge to pursue higher education in the field of aviation, which may enable them to acquire top positions in aviation industry and open up new vistas, the university said.
