Beaut. Btw does this mean no wingtip station like the IAF version?

The pilot was putting it through turns etc. Visited Karwar and INS Chapal museum yesterday. According to people out there INS Vikram Aditya is deployed near Vizag. Didn't see any LCA , SBTF or Mig 29K on the ground at Goa airport

An historic day for Defence R&D - first full cycle indigenous demonstration of technologies required for aircraft carrier operation of fighter aircraft was achieved last afternoon. LCA Naval Prototype NP2 launched from the ramp at 16:21 and trapped at 16:31 at INS Hansa (the time stamped on the images are the direct feed from the common time source broadcasting to all the testing equipments including the aircraft). Thus ski jump takeoff and arrested landing done in the same flight as indicated in the image. Readers who are familiar with time formats commonly used in Flight Test Instrumentation, would know the first figure on the time indicates the day of the year. Coming so soon after the maiden arrested landing on 13 Sep it shows the heights that can be achieved by my countrymen with drive and determination.
Jai Hind.

Tuning out for now. Will tweet the link to the first part of @delhidefence's article on the LCA-Navy Mk-I fighter when I am back. Cheers.

The main focus was on capacity building for smaller countries providing them hardware and ships, says Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh
On October 4-5, the Navy hosted the second edition of the Goa Maritime Conclave (GMC) attended by 10 Indian Ocean littoral states and observers from a few friendly foreign countries. It was set up in 2017 to identify common threats in the region and evolve cooperative mechanisms to tackle them. In a brief conversation with The Hindu on the sidelines of the GMC, Navy Chief Admiral Karambir Singh spoke about the conclave, India’s push for regional cooperation and the indigenous Tejas Light Combat Aircraft
The indigenous Naval Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) recently had its first arrested landing on the Shore Based Test Facility in Goa. What is the way forward for the programme?
This LCA is a technology demonstrator. We will assist the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) in this effort. But the one which we want, we are making the Quality Requirements (QR) for it, a twin engine deck based fighter. If it meets the QRs and in the correct time frame, we will take it.
These QRs are separate from the ongoing tender for 57 carrier based fighters. It (the new development) won’t meet the timelines for this (tender).

OMG I have been saying this for ages. NLCA should be a twin engined bird the single engined NLCA mk2 or whatever was never going to work - here it is from the horse's mouth.![]()
I guess this will be a third program for the ADA guys?

The IN was the first service that seriously funded both the ALH and the LCA.
This was done with a lot of hope and expectations......
