This institution has charted a long ardous course, spread over a time period of forty years to attain its present status. From a humble beginning in 1959 as Air Observation Post School, it acquired the name of Army Aviation School in 1964, when helicopters were inducted for the first time in the Pakistan Army. Ever since its formation, this institution has been effectively fulfilling the training demands of Army Aviation Corps, Pak Navy and allied countries both in terms of pilot training and conducting Aviation related tactical courses. The journey of Army Aviation Pilot Training through four decades may be summarised as follows:- At the time of partition, army pilots used to be trained in UK. In 1959, Air Observation Post School was established at Dhamial Camp and regular flying training of fixed wing pilot started in the country. In 1964, with the induction of helicopters, the Air Observation Post School was renamed as Army Aviation School. In 1967, helicopter training was started in the country. In 1984, Aviation Tactical Courses were introduced to enhance tactical knowledge of pilots for better integration of Aviation Corps with field formations. In 1987, the School was shifted from Dhamial to its present location at Gujranwala Cantonment. In 1992, Combat Conversion Courses in the country were started. Pakistan Army Aviation School is located as the entrance of the most well laid out, beautiful and picturesque Cantonment of Gujranwala which is a typical army garrison, housing all the facilities of an ideal military set-up. Winters from mid December to March at Gujranwala are quite moderate with light rain.
