The '''Pakistan Army Corps of Aviation''' is a [[Military administration|military administrative]] and [[combined arms]] service [[Military branch|branch]] of the [[Pakistan Army]].<ref name="Pakistan Army Aviation Corps" />

The Aviation Corps is tasked with configuration of all army aviation aircraft and provides principle close aerial combat support and aerial logistics for the Pakistan Army.<ref name="Pakistan Army Aviation Corps">{{cite web|last=PA|first=Pakistan Army|title=Army Aviation-Pakistan Army|url=http://www.pakistanarmy.gov.pk/AWPReview/TextContent.aspx?pId=24&rnd=454#History|work=Pakistan Army|publisher=Pakistan Army Aviation Corps|access-date=21 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121117054707/http://www.pakistanarmy.gov.pk/AWPReview/TextContent.aspx?pId=24&rnd=454#History|archive-date=17 November 2012|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

==Overview==

Originally formed by the [[Army Air Corps (United Kingdom)|British Army Air Corps]] in 1942, the partition in 1947 of the former [[British Indian Army]] allowed the entire unit of the [[British Army]]'s Air Corps to be transferred to the Pakistan Army.<ref name="Pakistan Army Aviation Corps"/> Initially, the Aviation Corps was part of the [[Pakistan Air Force]] but was commissioned in the Pakistan Army after its personnel were trained and certified in the [[United States]] in 1958.{{rp|32}}<ref>{{cite book |last1=Karim |first1=Afsir |title=Indo-Pak Relations: Viewpoints, 1989-1996 |date=1996 |publisher=Lancer Publishers |isbn=978-1-897829-23-3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ltOgS1FjiR4C&dq=Pakistan+Army+Aviation+Corps&pg=PA32 |access-date=15 December 2023 |language=en}}</ref><ref name="Global Security inc">{{cite web|last=Global Security|title=Army Aviation Corps|url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/pakistan/aviation-corps.htm|publisher=Global Security inc|access-date=21 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723173843/http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/pakistan/aviation-corps.htm|archive-date=23 July 2011|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}</ref>  The [[Pakistan Army Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering|Corps of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering]] started to maintain the aircraft and helicopters given by the U.S. Army's [[United States Army Aviation Branch|Aviation Branch]], opening its own aviation school in 1959.<ref name="U.S. Government">{{cite book|last=The United States Government (CIA Fact Book)|title=Pakistan Intelligence and Security Activities Army Aviation Corps|year=2011|publisher=U.S. Government|location=Washington D.C.|isbn=978-0-7397-1194-1|pages=259|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ud8TM7Pc67sC&q=pakistan+army+aviation+corps&pg=PA147|access-date=2016-11-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140704192059/http://books.google.com/books?id=ud8TM7Pc67sC&pg=PA147&dq=pakistan+army+aviation+corps&hl=en&ei=HoLxTvrhHsKqiQKG0M2yDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=book-thumbnail&resnum=2&ved=0CDgQ6wEwAQ#v=onepage&q=pakistan%20army%20aviation%20corps&f=false|archive-date=2014-07-04|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Aircraft inventory==
The Pakistan Army operates 314+ helicopters alongside several fixed-wing aircraft.

3 [[CAIC Z-10]] attack helicopters of China were delivered for trial use so that orders could be made in the future. However, as of 2018, no orders have been made further and replaced by [[TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK]], this could mean that these 3 helicopters were returned with no follow-up order.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}}

15 [[Bell AH-1Z Viper]] with [[AGM-114 Hellfire|Hellfire missiles]], equipment and support worth $952 million were on order but are on hold due to political tensions between the U.S. and Pakistan.<ref>{{cite magazine |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=May 2019 |title=Nine Pakistan AH-1Z now stored at AMARG |magazine=[[AirForces Monthly]] |publisher=Key Publishing |page=26}}</ref>

30 [[TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK]] worth $1.5 billion is on order however production is still on hold due to the United States not giving export license for the engine, which is of American origin. New Turkish indigenous engine as a replacement is currently on trials.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.defenseworld.net/news/27249/Turkey_First_Indigenous_Helicopter_Engine_to_be_Ready_for_Integration_This_Year#.X9T1X1NRU0M|title=Turkey First Indigenous Helicopter Engine to be Ready for Integration This Year|access-date=2020-12-12|archive-date=2020-12-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201212182031/https://www.defenseworld.net/news/27249/Turkey_First_Indigenous_Helicopter_Engine_to_be_Ready_for_Integration_This_Year#.X9T1X1NRU0M|url-status=live}}</ref>

After the United States failed to deliver the AH-1Z and the problems with the Turkish T129, the Pakistan Army again is showing interests in Chinese all-weather, multirole [[CAIC Z-10#Variants|CAIC Z-10ME]] which is the advanced and upgraded variant of the [[CAIC Z-10]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Janes &#124; Latest defence and security news |url=https://www.janes.com/article/94566/pakistan-to-buy-chinese-attack-helicopters-if-turkey-and-us-fail-to-deliver |access-date=2020-03-02 |archive-date=2020-03-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200302154124/https://www.janes.com/article/94566/pakistan-to-buy-chinese-attack-helicopters-if-turkey-and-us-fail-to-deliver |url-status=live }}</ref>
