Fashion in Sport - Veteran Murray gets a lesson from youngster Robson

Despite never having trained together their collaboration was good-humoured and incredibly well co-ordinated, right down to what they wore on court. Being a fashion conscious 15-year-old Robson ensured that she kept the older, less fashionable Murray on the straight and narrow when it came to on-court apparel. For although Murray has worked incredibly hard on the court to get to his current standing as the world's number four, it appears that less effort has gone into determining his on-court attire. Well, according to Robson, at least!

Various reports Robson texted Murray prior to their games to determine what he intended to wear during their doubles rubbers and on one occasion forced him to completely change his outfit to avoid a clash with hers! Instead of wearing white, blue and green as intended Robson insisted that Murray changed into an outfit that wouldn't clash with her purple sports apparel!

Not only did Robson dramatically alter Murray's wardrobe but she also questioned his grooming habits, especially his hand care. However, she didn't even wait until after their match against Andrey Golubev and Yaroslava Svedona but delivered her withering verdict on the state of his 'rough' hands while the score stood at 5-0 during the first set, causing Murray must amusement and also harbouring a doubt that she was taking the game seriously.

It transpires that Murray is delighted to receive tips on mens fashion from his 15-year-old doubles partner. Indeed, so much so that he is hoping that their new-found pairs relationship will continue to London 2012 when no doubt Robson will still be calling the shots when it comes to outfit selection; on-court and off! However, the chances are by the time 2012 comes around the young tennis prodigy will have progressed so much in terms of ability that she will be able to take her pick of sponsor's outfits, for both hersel f and Mr Murray.

For the rest of us non-professional sports people the availability of fashionable sportswear has increased significantly over the last decade. Now such on-trend sports apparel is not only available in sports shops but also many high street stores, especially for normal daytime wear. Come 2012 the choice is bound to be immense as the whole country goes 'Olympics crazy'.

Private Pilot License Training - Fulfilling Dreams to fly an Aircraft

Pilot training is gaining a lot of interest and momentum these days especially among the aviation enthusiasts and hobby fliers who may wish to rent an aircraft and for those who own a personal aircraft. Owning an aircraft is no longer a symbol of status among the who's who. Learning to fly one's dream machine is what completes the whole package when it comes to flaunting one's wealth. This has resulted in mushrooming of many aviation academies in India like Chimes Aviation Academy, which boasts of providing private pilot training on the much famed Cessna 172 and is also one of the best aviation academies in the country.

To become a private pilot, one has to obtain a Private Pilot License (PPL) which permits the holder to act as the pilot of an aircraft privately (i.e. he does not fly an aircraft for any remuneration). The requirements to obtain the license are determined by the International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO), but the actual implementation varies widely from country to country.

While undergoing training at an aviation academy, the student is given a Student Pilot License. Student Pilot License is given to those with 10+2 with science and aged at least 16 years should register at a flying club which is recognized by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India.

The second step is the Private Pilot License (PPL). PPL training includes sixty hours of flying of which about fifteen hours are dual flights, that is accompanied by the flight instructor and at least 30 hours of solo flights apart from five hours of cross-country flying. This makes one eligible for the Private Pilot License exam. The prescribed age for appearing for this exam is 17 years and an educational qualification of 10+2 along with a Medical Fitness Certificate issued by the Armed Forces Central Medical Establishment (AFCME).

Although there are various types of aircraft, many of the principles of pilot training have common techniques. All pilot training courses consist of some combination of theoretical learning conducted on the ground and practical exercises conducted in the air. Initial pilot training is often conducted in specialized training aircraft (most aviation academies use Cessna 172), which are designed for benign handling characteristics and lower costs compared to the aircraft which the pilot concerned is ultimately aiming to fly.

Aviation academies train an individual on the various skills required to fly an aircraft. It teaches a pilot the process of flying an aircraft through the air with proper direction and control. It also teaches the students to understand the weather forecasts.


Private pilot training program mainly require high level of innovative mind capabilities and great aptitude skills. This supports the candidate to get the concept in an easy manner.


However, with such busy and fast paced life, many passionate fliers do not get time to fulfill their dream. Thus Chimes Aviation Academy has come up with a Cruiser (Executive PPL) programme which enables the student to pursue flying with a convenient, personalized over the weekend schedule. The schedule is designed to make the student a Private Pilot License holder in just nine weekends. Currently, Chimes Academy has Bollywood actors Kunal Kapoor and Chitrangda Singh and ace golfer Jyoti Randhawa as its students.


This article is based on my experiences and knowledge as a pilot training student at Chimes Aviation Academy (CAA - http://www.caaindia.com/ppl.aspx )
