==Chief of Air staff==

On 9 March 1991, [[Prime Minister of Pakistan|Prime Minister]] [[Nawaz Sharif]] promoted [[Air Marshal|Air-Mshl.]] Feroze to the [[Four-star rank|four-star]] [[air officer]] in the [[Pakistan Air Force]], subsequently appointing the [[Air Chief Marshal]] as the new [[Chief of Air Staff (Pakistan)|Chief of Air Staff]] (CAS).{{rp|23}}<ref>{{cite book|title=Pakistan affairs|date=1991|publisher=Information Division, Embassy of Pakistan.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4VI8AQAAIAAJ|accessdate=4 January 2018|language=en}}</ref> [[Air Chief Marshal|ACM]] Feroze assumed the command of the Air Force at a difficult time, when the [[Pressler amendment|military embargo]] by the [[United States]] on a suspicion of a [[Pakistan and weapons of mass destruction|covert nuclear weapons program]] was enforced.{{rp|356–357}}<ref name="Shaheen Foundation, 2001" /> During this time, he [[Project ROSE|launched the program]] to acquire the license to reproduce the [[Dassault Mirage III#License production|Australian Mirage-III]] and induction of [[Chengdu J-7|F-7P]] from [[China]] at the [[Pakistan Aeronautical Complex]] (PAC).{{rp|356–357}}<ref name="Shaheen Foundation, 2001" />

In 1994, [[Air Chief Marshal|ACM]] Feroze was given a one-year extension to continue serving as an [[Chief of Air Staff (Pakistan)|air chief]].{{rp|473}}<ref name="Deep & Deep, 1997">{{cite book|last1=Grover|first1=Verinder|last2=Arora|first2=Ranjana|title=Pakistan, Fifty Years of Independence: Fifty years of Pakistan's independence: a chronology of events, 1947–97|date=1997|publisher=Deep & Deep|location=New Delhi|isbn=9788171009251|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=y-MvAQAAIAAJ|accessdate=5 January 2018|language=en}}</ref>

==Chairman joint chiefs==
In 1994, the extension made him the most senior [[military officer]] in the [[Pakistani military]] but this became a subject of controversy in the Air Force, when many senior [[air officer]]s showed resentment towards this decision taken by the [[Bainazir Bhuttoo Government|civil government]] at that time.{{rp|17}}<ref name="The Herald, 1994">{{cite journal|editor1-last=Sehgal|editor1-first=Ikram|editor1-link=Ikram Sehgal|title=Reshuffing the Deck|journal=The Herald|date=1994|volume=25|issue=4–5|pages=35|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Qby_oTLRi40C|accessdate=5 January 2018 |publisher=Pakistan Herald Publications |location=Islamabad |language=en|format=google books}}</ref>{{rp|48}}<ref name="Globe, 1994">{{cite journal|last1=Mahmood|first1=Afzal|title=The Pakistan Air Force |journal=Globe |date=1994 |volume=7 |issue=7–11 |pages=55 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xzhnAAAAMAAJ |publisher=Afzal Mahmood|location=Islamabad|language=en|format=google books}}</ref> Upon the retirement of Gen. [[Shamim Alam Khan|Shamim Allam]] on 8 November 1994, Prime Minister [[Benazir Bhutto]] approved [[Air Chief Marshal|ACM]] Feroze to be elevated as the [[Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee]]—this was the first time the chairmanship was rotated to the Air Force since its inception in 1976.{{rp|48–49}}<ref name="Globe, 1994"/>

As [[Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee|Chairman joint chiefs]], [[Air Chief Marshal|ACM]] Feroze attempted to procure the [[Mikoyan MiG-29|MiG-29F]] and the [[Sukhoi Su-27|Su-27]] aircraft from the [[Eastern Europe]] as well as [[Mirage 2000]] from [[Qatar]], with a view to replacing the [[F-16 Fighting Falcon|F-16s]] but this was met with strong opposition from [[Air Chief Marshal|ACM]] [[Abbas Khattak|Khattak]], the [[Chief of Air Staff (Pakistan)|air chief]], who was unimpressed with the war performances of Russian fighter jets.{{rp|58–60}}<ref>{{cite book|title=Air Force Chief says that F-16s "Not Indispensable"|date=1994|publisher=Daily Report: Near East & South Asia, The Service|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=92dPTgGKdosC|accessdate=5 January 2018|language=en}}</ref> In 1995, Gen. Feroze Khan also provided his crucial military support and political advocacy for the development of the [[Shaheen-I|Shaheen program]] with a view to keeping the second-strike capability.{{rp|89}}<ref name="StoryPAF" />

His tenure as [[Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee|Chairman joint chiefs]] is criticized by the defense observer in the country for not being able to take steps in strengthening the role of [[Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee]], and was largely seen as ineffective and unable to provide any military or political advice to [[Prime Minister of Pakistan|Prime Minister]] [[Benazir Bhutto]] and her administration on a longer extension— the void was filled by then-[[Army Chief of Staff (Pakistan)|army chief]], Gen. [[Jehangir Karamat]].<ref name="Defence Journal, 1999">{{cite web|last1=Sehgal|first1=Ikram|title=Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC)|url=http://www.defencejournal.com/apr99/jcsc.htm|website=www.defencejournal.com|publisher=Defence Journal|accessdate=5 January 2018|location=Islamabad|language=en-pk|date=April 1999}}</ref>

Critics observed that [[Air Chief Marshal|ACM]] Feroze's preference of "flying solo" and his nature of working alone further complicated the matters in the military that required the comprehensive [[collaboration]] and [[teamwork]] in national security issues.<ref name="Defence Journal, 1999"/> According to the critical paper penned by defense analyst, [[Ikram Sehgal]], "[[Air Chief Marshal|ACM]] Feroze marked ineffectiveness in the post of Chairman and its institution."<ref name="Defence Journal, 1999"/>

Upon retiring on 9 November 1997, Gen. [[Jehangir Karamat]] was eventually appointed to replace him and who took the role of the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee]] to new heights and took the [[Pakistani military|four-tiered military]] into a responsive and efficient fighting machine in the 21st century.<ref name="Defence Journal, 1999"/> His uniform was placed in the [[PAF Museum, Karachi|PAF Museum]] in [[Karachi]], where he was retired in his estate.{{rp|355}}<ref name="Shaheen Foundation, 2001" />
