Navigation Training School, the Alma Mater of the IAF Navigators, was first started in September 1946 at Royal Indian Air Force Station (RIAF), Tambaram as Air Navigation School, RIAF. This school was purely for ground subjects and did not have a flying element. Post-Independence, the school moved to No.2 Air Force Academy, Jodhpur, and the ‘Air Navigation Squadron’ was created. It was here that the first Navigators course of the Indian Air Force commenced its training in March 1949. In 1963, the Signallers’ Training element was merged and the unit was rechristened as ‘Navigation and Signals School’. In 1967, the Navigation and Signals School (later NTS) moved from Jodhpur to its present location at Air Force Station Begumpet, Secunderabad. To impart more effect-based training that is contemporary, relevant to the modern battlefield, and in line with the requirements of the IAF, the unit has evolved its training methodology towards furtherance of the operational might of the IAF.
