Flight Training

Overview

Take the Pilot’s Seat

Flight training is your first and most important step toward earning your wings and taking command of the skies! This essential part of the pilot training program equips aspiring pilots with the skills and knowledge to operate an aircraft safely and confidently.

Before beginning flight training, candidates must clear the DGCA CPL exams, covering core subjects like:

  • Air Navigation
  • Aviation Meteorology
  • Air Regulations
  • Radio Telephony (RTR)
  • Technical General

The training itself includes two key components:

  • Ground Classes: Classroom-based learning for DGCA CPL subjects.
  • Practical Flying: Hands-on flight training experience in real airplanes.

Licence Conversion

If you complete your flight training in any of the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) contracting states, you’ll need to return to India for licence conversion. This process involves completing conversion flying and meeting the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) requirements to obtain your Indian DGCA licence. It ensures your international training aligns with local aviation standards and regulations.
