All student officers who successfully completed various aviation and RPAS courses marched together and received their wings and badges. Trophies were awarded to officers who excelled in various disciplines to recognise their outstanding achievements.
The ceremony was presided over by Lieutenant General Ajay Kumar Suri, Director General and Colonel Commandant of the Army Aviation Corps.
