Frequently Asked Questions
You need to be at least 18 years old to begin your journey. So if you're still in school — start prepping now, future captain!
No minimum height criteria — none, zero, nada. The cockpit doesn't discriminate. All that matters is your skills and medical fitness.
Six DGCA papers stand between you and that licence — no skipping, no shortcuts:
- Air Navigation
- Aviation Meteorology
- Air Regulations
- Radio Telephony Restricted (RTR)
- Technical General
- Technical Specific
Grind these and you're halfway there.
Ground classes run for approximately 5 months. It's a solid grind covering all DGCA theory subjects — but trust the process, it's worth every hour.
Expect around 14 to 16 months up in the skies. Duration may vary based on your flying school, weather, and individual progress — but this is your main character era, so enjoy it.
The full journey — from day one of ground classes to holding your CPL — typically costs between ₹60 to ₹90 Lakhs (INR) depending on the country. It's a significant investment, but so is every great career. Plan smart, start early.
Think of your Computer Number as your official DGCA ID — a unique identification number you need before you can register for any DGCA theory examinations. Step one of the whole process, so don't sleep on it.
Keep these four things ready:
- Board Verification Certificate (BVC) — Class 10 & 12
- Aadhaar Card
- Class 10 & 12 Marksheets
- Passing Certificate
Simple documents, big first step.
The visa process varies country to country — no one-size-fits-all here. We provide dedicated visa assistance to walk you through every step based on your chosen destination. Just reach out and we've got you covered.
Conversion Flying is the process of taking your foreign pilot licence and converting it into an Indian DGCA-recognised CPL. It involves additional flight training, proficiency checks, and demonstrating that you meet Indian aviation standards. Basically — new country, new licence, same skills.
