An aircraft that was assembled on the terrace of a Charkop building may soon be zipping across the skies. Amol Yadav, a 41- year-old senior commander with Jet Airways, who spent six years building the six-seater aircraft, has finally got the certificate of registration from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
Further tests are scheduled over the next 10 days before he gets the permit to fly.
Mumbai Mirror had first reported on Yadav's efforts in February 2016, 'Plane put together on a Charkop terrace features in Make in India.'
An ecstatic Yadav told Mirror, "I am so happy that for the first time in India, an experimental aircraft maker has received this DGCA certificate." Currently, his six-seater aircraft is parked at the airport.
While manufacturing aircraft remains Yadav's dream, for now he hopes this certificate will help him smoothen the bureaucratic process to acquire the 157 acres of land that the state government had in-principle approved for his aircraft manufacturing process.
The registration number of his aircraft, VT-NMD, is a nod to Prime Minister Narendra Modi (NM) and Chief Minister Devendra (D) Fadnavis, he says.
