Hi Shekhar,

The book has fiction ( If you thought its about Shekhar’s life, you are wrong :-)), 

sentiment, romance of flying , ,Aviation relation, religion and of 

course Airplanes. The unique thing I found in this book is that you guys has addressed

all sensitive issue in the most sensible way possible. You  hav presented the facts, 

narrated a story in a neutral way. I am sure you guys will create spark in all Aviators.

I enjoyed reading so far.

You guys are clear to Take Off. Report  reaching FL 99

All the best,

Hello Sir,

This is Aakriti Gupta. I am found of reading books and novels. And I read this Book

 twice so that I can get the essence  of this book, which you have mailed me. This is 

a very good begining, as you told me it is your first book. It is a nice and interesting 

story. It shows the enthusiasm of that Pilot as well as the writer of the book. 

Actually I am totally new to the aviation, so some term of AVIATION were unknown to 

me and bcoz of that, some of the events of this story I did not understand. But this is 

really encouraging story for those who want to make their Career in Aviation World.....!!    

Best of Luck...

Thanks & Regards

Dear Fellow Pilots,

We are at PNR needs your halp for a great Landing.

If you'd like to help us tell this story and continue our quest to create our vision of this    Book " Be an Aviator Not a Pilot" ,  you can do so by contributing to this project. Please use the email id this page. We greatly appreciate your support. 

Read more about our production on the "Be an Aviator Not a Pilot" Blog.

The story of flight is a sweeping saga that has exceeded the imaginations of even those  who first dreamed it. And yet it unfolds (as all truly special stories do) in moments, places . . . and people. Always and ever in people.

Just above the heads of most of our brothers, sisters, coworkers, and neighbors there hang gossamer cathedrals of piled cotton below the cobalt dome of a perfect sky. But  fewer than one in 500 will ever experience this through the front window of a flying machine. 


A Be an Aviator Not a Pilot Story seeks out the special few who have answered the call of the skies, those with the discipline, aptitude, and courage to become pilots.

Be an Aviator Not a Pilot in hangars and homes, at restaurants and on ramps, A Pilot's Story tells the story of flight in the words of pilots themselves. What it means to fly an airplane all alone for the first time. What it means to fly an airplane for the last time. The easy rapport one can have with a person who is a complete stranger  but for the shared experience of flying.

And the excitement that consumes pilots at the opportunity to share this world of aviation with non-pilots, airport communities, community leaders, and anyone else  who will listen.

Be an Aviator Not a Pilot is a Book  for anyone who has sat all alone in an aircraft, firewalled the  throttle, charged down the runway, and rotated. And especially for those who might if given the chance. For most people, the sky is the limit. For a Pilot, the sky is home. 

We hope these stories would motivate you. 

We would like to Thanks Captain Azam Khan, Captain Richard [ Dick ], Captain Ranil Busbus, Captain Claud, Captain Sushil Kumar, Captain Sonia, Captain Raghav, Captain Monica, Captain Ankit Rawat, Captain Nitin, Captain Prashant, Captain Bilal, Captain Nishant, Captain Harries, Captain Hari Om Chaudhary [ Jet Airways ]  to share your experience with us. Also we are very much  thankfull to  Manisha, Rohit,  Vishal, Mrunal, Tithi, Andrina, Angel, Akriti, Ekta, Khushbu, Palwin, Sapan, Aashima, Savita, Sonam  for all their support all the possible ways they could.

This is the story of the journey home.

I am a Pilot I would rather be Flying

When I was young, I never even imagined that someday I would simply be mad about aircrafts

 and flying. On my first trip abroad, to Singapore, I bought the Observer's Book of 

Aircraft by William Green, this changed my world completly. It had all the different 

kinds of airrafts one could see at that time with their full specifications. The book 

increased my vocabulary, I got to know technical details of various aircrafts, their 

type, seating, powerplant, cruising speed, armament, country of origin, dimensions, 

service ceiling, endurance, range, etc. 

Soon I was nicknamed pilot by my friends, whenever they used to see any aircraft, 

they used to enquire about it from me. I started to correctly recognise even those 

aircrafts which were flying at very high altitudes. Even my ears got trained for the 

slightest sound which resembled the drone of an aircraft engine. I could tell well in 

advance that whether the approaching aircrat was a piston engine, a turboprop, 

a jet or a chopper. 

Just a single book changed my whole life, I became an aviation enthusiast. Soon I 

started to buy all the good books related to aviation I could lay my hands on. By the 

time I reached the age of 18 years, that is the time I finished my schooling, I had a 

library, full of books on aircrafts and other related fields. 

One day when I was passing the airport, I saw a Glider flying overhead. Immediately 

I made up my mind, and that was the begining of my passion for flying. The next day 

I went to the office of the local flying club and enrolled myself as a student pilot. 

Within 4 months of my joining or after exactly 45 launches, I was ready to go solo, 

all alone, no one would accompany me, it would be just me and my glider, flying free, 

like a bird. I readied for the launch, checked the elevator, ailerons, rudder and 

airbrakes, they were all working, checked the altimeter, variometer, slip-skid indicator, 

pitot tube, speedometer, hooks and the cable for any problems, they all seemed well. 

I opened the canopy, climbed into the pilot's seat straddled myself up, checked and 

shoved the joystick, front and back, right and left. Placed my feet on the rudder 

pedals and moved them back and forth. When everthing seemed right, I indicated my 

fellow students to lift the tilted left wing and hold it level to the ground. The cable was 

attached to the glider, the flagsman signaled the winch operator to tighten the slack. 

I felt a small tug when the slackened cable, tightened. I gestured to the flagsman that 

everything was okay and he signaled the winch to start the takeoff roll.

Everything was silent inside the cockpit but my heart was pounding hard. Many a questions

 had come up in my mind, what if something went wrong, what if the cable snapped, 

what if??? The glider started to roll on its single wheel under its belly, within seconds

 it attained the right speed, I slowy pulled the joystick back and it rose up in air, 

still tethered to winch through the cable. I could feel the groan of the winch 

through the cable, at 700 ft. I felt that the winch had finally stopped pulling, 

immediately I pushed the stick forward, eased off the back pressure and released 

the cable from the hook, I levelled up at 600 ft. Now I was free like a bird, all alone 

in the sky, but WITHOUT ANY ENGINE... I was falling down at the rate of 100 ft. per 

minute therefore I calculated that I would remain in air for roughly 5 minutes or so. 

At this rate I could easily make one circuit of the airstrip below. It was a mindblowing 

experience for me, those 5 minutes were the longest I have ever felt. There I 

was aligning myself with the gliding strip, readying for the feathersoft touchdown on 

a SINGLE BELLY WHEEL... The ground was coing near so fast, at around 200 ft. 

from the ground, I slowed my speed to 40 mph from 60 mph by using the airbrakes. 

At approximately 10 ft. I gave a check by pulling back the joystick a bit levelling the 

glider to the ground. Just before touchdown I flared up, it was a smooth touch down, 

after rolling for about a hundred metres I used the front skid to stop the glider. 

The wing slowly tilted and glider lay on its right side. I unstrapped my seat belts, 

unlatched & opened the canopy and stood up on my feet. Now I could call myself 

a PILOT, a real AVIATOR ....MY DREAM COME TRUE...
