Tribune Online Report
For the first time ever in the history
of Bangladesh Army, two female
probationer pilots successfully
managed their single and dual flight
in the army aviation group in the
capital's Tejgaon Wednesday.
Captain Nazia Nusrat Hossain and
Captain Shahrina Bintea Anwar
completed their single and dual
flight by Cessna 152 aropic training
biman, said a statement issued by
the Inter Services Public Relations
Directorate.
Captain Nazia got his commission
in the Bangladesh Army Engineering
core on December 24, 2009, by
attending the 61st BMA long
course.
After ending all complementary
courses of the engineering core, on
November 16 last year, she joined
the Army aviation basic course 9.
She first proved her flight capability
by conducting her single solo flight
on June 18 this year.
On the other hand, Captain
Shahrina got her commission in the
Army Ordinance core on December
24, 2009, in the same BMA long
course and joined the Army aviation
course 9 on November 16 last year.
She conducted her first solo flight
on June 30 of this year.
The statement signed by ISPR
Assistant Director Rezaul Karim
Shammi said the addition of female
pilots in Bangladesh Army would
open a new horizon and the two
female pilots would work as a
source of inspiration for
Bangladeshi women.
Army aviation is the only flight
training organisation of Bangladesh
Army.
Since January 1, 1978, a huge
number of army pilots, all of them
males, received training there.
The organisation marked a new era
by training female pilots from
November 16 last year.
