Capt.A.D.Manek founded The Skyline Aviation Club in 1987. He is currently presiding as Managing Trustee of The Skyline Aviation Club. Born in 1961, he had ambition of becoming a pilot since child hood.

His tryst with aviation started with a visit to a flying club to find out how to become a pilot in 1979. He acquired his Private Pilot's License from DGCA in 1985 in India. He was able to complete his Commercial Pilot's Certificate training with Instrument Rating, Multi Engine Rating and Instructor Rating from U.S.A in 1989.

Due to lack of information, Guidance and proper training it took ten years to make his dream come true as a commercial Pilot. He took up job for a short time with Air India Employees Guild Training Center, Mumbai as a Principal. The strong reason behind formation of The Skyline Aviation Club is to help new comers to achieve their goal of becoming a pilot in shortest possible time by giving them proper information, guidance and best available training which Capt.A.D.Manek missed in making his career.

He has acquired 23 years of experience of teaching aviation subjects by training more than 3000 students including trainee Commercial Pilots, trainee Air hostesses & Flight Pursers, trainee Private Pilots, Amateur Wireless License.

Many of his students are currently employed as Pilots, Flight Dispatcher, Air hostesses and Flight Pursers with various airlines in India and abroad. Basic qualities acquired during training with National Cadet Corps (NCC) Armour Division has made him to lead Skyline efficiently with a motto "Beyond Time at All Times.
