PAC Kamra is a Pakistan Aeronautical Complex located 70 km from Islamabad that houses four aviation factories across 10 square kilometers. It employs over 10,000 staff to support maintenance, repair and overhaul of aircraft as well as manufacturing of aircraft components for the Pakistani military. During a visit by students, PAC Kamra staff briefed them on the work done at the complex, including aircraft rebuilding, component manufacturing and maintenance of aircraft in the Pakistani air force fleet. The students toured workshops and observed computer numerical control machining operations. While questions were raised about PAC Kamra's limited capabilities, staff attributed this to Pakistan's limited funds for defense projects.

Our
Visit
During

greeted
with
an
opening
ceremony.

us
about
the

at

entertained
our

with
the
best
of
their
ability.
During
the
Q/A
session
most
question
were
about
the
limited
capability
of

The
answer

much
funds.
The
presentation

were
observed
and
how

process
was
visualized.
Most
