00:09.399 --> 00:13.340
I'm Captain Fane Ka Shetty . I work for

00:13.350 --> 00:15.130
the Swiss flight test center at

00:15.140 --> 00:17.930
Armistice and I'm part of the test

00:17.950 --> 00:21.209
payer school class 23 bravo . I knew

00:21.219 --> 00:23.163
pretty early when I started become

00:23.163 --> 00:25.639
being a military pilot that I wanted to

00:25.649 --> 00:27.593
try to become a test pilot at some

00:27.593 --> 00:30.909
point . So as soon as an opening uh was

00:30.920 --> 00:33.290
available , I applied to it at the

00:33.299 --> 00:36.040
Swiss Flight Center Army and went

00:36.049 --> 00:38.900
through the selection process . The

00:38.909 --> 00:40.819
whole year has been an amazing

00:40.830 --> 00:42.719
experience . I've learned so much

00:42.719 --> 00:44.886
throughout the year and it has been an

00:44.886 --> 00:47.052
amazing opportunity to be able to come

00:47.052 --> 00:50.360
here uh as a as a Swiss military pilot

00:50.369 --> 00:52.480
and future test pilot and get trained

00:52.480 --> 00:54.705
with the US Air Force test pilot . I

00:54.715 --> 00:56.882
will have a ton of memories of all the

00:56.882 --> 00:58.993
flights and all the experience that I

00:58.993 --> 01:01.104
did here . I think the most difficult

01:01.104 --> 01:03.104
thing was to maintain the , the the

01:03.104 --> 01:05.271
performance throughout the year . It's

01:05.271 --> 01:07.159
a very intensive program and very

01:07.159 --> 01:10.125
demanding . So I think that it will be

01:10.135 --> 01:12.357
nice to have some free time again after

01:12.357 --> 01:15.940
that year . I think that it's

01:16.190 --> 01:18.660
just doesn't matter at that level . Uh

01:18.669 --> 01:20.819
which gender you are , you are what

01:20.830 --> 01:22.497
matters are your skill , your

01:22.497 --> 01:24.608
competence , your experience and what

01:24.608 --> 01:26.441
you bring to the test . So every

01:26.441 --> 01:28.497
individual , we will bring their own

01:28.497 --> 01:30.663
skill set , you know , to the , to the

01:30.663 --> 01:32.886
project or to the , to the work that we

01:32.886 --> 01:34.886
are doing . And I think that's what

01:34.886 --> 01:37.108
matters . It's very long process to get

01:37.108 --> 01:39.163
there . But I would encourage anyone

01:39.163 --> 01:41.274
having interest into that to at least

01:41.274 --> 01:43.519
try the selection and work hard , give

01:43.529 --> 01:45.540
everything you can to achieve your

01:45.550 --> 01:47.660
goals and it will take many years .

01:47.669 --> 01:49.400
Keep the motivation , keep the

01:49.410 --> 01:52.110
objectives in sight and use that as

01:52.120 --> 01:54.342
your motivation throughout the years to

01:54.342 --> 01:55.379
achieve your goals .
