Fact Check-

First of all, a news report reported by the media could be found from a search using keywords to find out the details of this girl in Malappuram Tuvvur. Malayalam media Madhyam Online news has been published on 23 July 2023.The information in the news is as follows-

The news is about Fida Fatima, a native of Malappuram Tuvvur, who secured 27th rank in the pilot entrance exam. Fida Fatima has taken admission in IGRO, Uttar Pradesh, India’s leading pilot training center. 

So we learned it would not be correct if the girl who was admitted into training barely seven months ago had now piloted her maiden flight.

Fact Crescendo then contacted Fida’s father, Abu Juraij of Tuvvoor, Malappuram for more clarification.  However, he stated that his daughter Fida was in pilot training and that the misleading information claiming she controlled the flight from Calicut to Delhi was false.

Conclusion-

Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the post to be False. Fida Fatima has yet to complete her pilot training course. She is now undergoing training at the IGRUA Training Centre in Uttar Pradesh.
