INTRODUCING MUKUL IYER
Pictured here is Mukul in late November 2010 readying to complete some circuit training with Tony Provan in a Cessna 152
Mukul was awarded one of the four Mobil Aviation Flying Scholarships made available in 2010.
Mukul has just completed his VCE at Hampton Park Secondary College with good results in Mathematical Methods, Physics, Chemistry, Specialist Mathematics and English and this year commences study at Monash University for a degree in Aerospace Engineering.
One of Mukul’s earliest memories is a trip with his family to Dubai in a Jumbo Jet. Mukul was then three and a half years old and the experience triggered an ongoing interest in aviation as a career.
Mukul’s family visited Australia from India in 2001, which resulted in the decision for the family to emigrate to Australia in 2002 when Mukul was 10 years of age.
Mukul discovered the scholarship via the RVAC website and unlike his three fellow awardees had no hands on flying experience at the time of his application.
