Every aspirant of Indian air force must know the core values of Indian air force, these core values are something which every air warrior follows.

Understanding Ethics & Values
Ethics
Ethics is the science of morals, moral principles and rules of conduct. it is a broad framework of behaviour that has stood the test of time and come down to us from the times of our ancient scriptures. The concept of ‘dharma’ or doing one’s duty is central to ethics.
Values
Values are principles, standards and judgments of what is right, wrong, valuable or important to a person or an organisation. some of the typical values that are important to us as air Warriors of the Indian air force are integrity, loyalty, respect, excellence, Positive attitude, accountability, Mission orientation, Team Work, Professional Knowledge and a whole lot of other character traits.
Core Values Of Indian Air Force
Mission
Each and every one of us must clearly know the Mission of the Indian air force and direct all our resources, energies, capabilities and potential towards Mission accomplishment. We must be prepared to perform beyond the call of duty and look after those placed below us while doing so. only then can we achieve our Mission with integrity and excellence.
Our value: Mission accomplishment with integrity and excellence.
Integrity
Simply put, integrity is the character trait of doing the right thing always and every time, whether anyone is watching or not. it is like our moral compass that guides us in times of trouble and keeps a check on us when the going is good. integrity is courage, honesty, responsibility, accountability, humility, all rolled into one solid character trait that will allow us to stand out as a ‘model’ air Warrior. do remember that if we display integrity, we will be trusted by both our seniors and juniors.When we are trusted, we will be inspired to perform well beyond your capability, and when we perform beyond our capability, we bring honour to our service, unit & ourselves.
Our value: integrity in whatever we do.
Excellence
Excellence is giving our best in whatever we do. excellence is achieved by combining knowledge, skill and training into a powerful value that allows us to contribute effectively in whatever we do. excellence is contagious and spreads rapidly. so share excellence and become a mentor and a leader. excellence in the cockpit, on the tarmac, and in the office must become a way of life. it will drive us to achieve extraordinary things for the iaf and ourselves.
Our value: excellence in whatever we do.
How do We achieve This?
- We will achieve our objective of transmitting and living by our core values:
- l By encouraging frank and free communication on the concept across the IAF.
- l Monitoring feedback and instituting corrective mechanisms.
- l consistently rewarding those who achieve high standards of integrity, excellence and mission accomplishment.
- l Punishing those who violate core values.
