Royal Victorian Aero Club - Alumni

Alumni 

This page is intended as a tribute to our former students, you, our international alumni.   We take great pride in your achievements and we are pleased to have been the medium for your qualifications.

 Whether your goal is an airline career or whether it it is private flying, we trust that you will do it with professionalism and with safety.   Above all, enjoy it.  

 As we build this page, we will bring you news of recent graduations and we will attempt to construct and maintain an Honour Roll of past graduates.   Please be patient; but if you feel that we have forgotten you, then we apologise in advance; please send an email to flying@rvac.com.au and we will rectify the omission.

 

Nice to see Sunny (Satbeer) Gill and his ever present grin, join IndiGo Airlines.   Sunny is shown here as he completes his A320 conversion in the sim.

Back in Melbourne on holiday, Parakshit Joshi, renewed his aquaintance with old friends at RVAC.   Parakshit graduated from RVAC in March 2007.   He now flies a B737 as first officer for Jet Airways and hopes to move to a wide-bodied aircraft next year.   He is seen below 'in his office'.

Varun Lal graduated from RVAC in January 2007.   He joined Air Deccan (India) in October 2007 after converting his Australian qualifications to the equivalent Indian ones.   Following endorsement training in Toulouse, he has been flying ATRs as a First Officer since March 2008.   He is seen here with his proud Mama.

 We have recently heard from Sushant Laxman, who also graduated from RVAC during 2007.   Sushant has joined IndiGo airline, completed his A320 endorsement in Spain and is now flying as First Officer, seen here in his new home.
