How common is this gloveless flying in PAF?? Can junior pilots also choose to fly like this while training???

Its against SOPs though. A pilot's gloves are generally made of nomex, a fire resistant fabric. The primary reason for wearing them is to protect the pilot's hands in the event of fire in the cockpit. It offers protection and is a part of the military aviation tradition.

May be better fire retardant systems inside the cockpit nowadays mean pilots can afford this luxury now?? It is a Squadron commander doing this for the camera so may be rules are relaxed....

Do squadrons get/loose points for following/ignoring these safety protocols?? Does this culminate in like a competition or safety trophy ??

A 'report' or 'occurence' is always initiated in case of such violations and goes up the chain.....pilots are even grounded for life or demoted (F-16 to F-7 etc).

Seen pictures of pilots having cut off the glove tips for better feeling of the HOTAS in European air forces

Hi,

In the US it is called---" I DON'T CARE---I DON'T GIVE SH-IT" attitude.

A shameless show of indiscipline.

Hi,

This pilot is committing a cardinal flight sin. If he has to eject on these frozen mountains, there is no chance for his survival at all.

because by the time he lands on the snowy mountain after ejection ---his hand upto his arm would be frozen and would break like a twig as he hits the ground.

How many combat squadrons does PAF operate?

The young people in US watched too much movies like Rambo, still have the mind set of the cowboys age.
