Flying schools and FTOs
DGCA-approved flight training organisations in India, and academies abroad that Indian candidates convert from.
Our students arrive at a flying school with the theory papers behind them, which is the cheapest order to do it in. We brief candidates on what to ask an FTO before they pay a deposit.
DGCA medical examiners
DGCA-authorised Class 1 and Class 2 medical examination centres.
We tell candidates to clear the medical before they spend on anything else, and point them to authorised centres rather than to a general physician.
Simulator and RTR(A) practice providers
Procedure trainers, radio telephony practice, and type-specific familiarisation.
Ground theory and a headset are different skills. Candidates preparing for RTR(A) get extra practice time with these providers.
Career counsellors and education consultants
Advisers who meet aspiring pilots before the family has decided anything.
We would rather a counsellor send us a candidate who understands the cost and the timeline than one who was sold a dream. Refer with an honest brief and we will hold to it.
Schools and colleges
Higher secondary schools and colleges with students weighing aviation against other routes.
We run sessions on what a DGCA licence actually requires, Physics and Maths at 10+2, the computer number, the papers, the hours, with no admission pitch attached.
Accommodation near Ahmedabad
Hostels and paying-guest accommodation for out-of-state candidates.
A fair number of candidates come to Ahmedabad for a batch. Somewhere safe to stay for a few months is a practical part of getting them here.
