FMS Aviation Academy organized a free IFA visit for its DGCA ground class students to Indian Flying Academy (IFA), giving aspiring pilots a first-hand look at what flight training looks like beyond the classroom. Over 30+ students from FMS’s Ahmedabad center travelled to the flying school at no cost, as part of the academy’s ongoing effort to bridge theory with real-world aviation exposure.
This visit was organized entirely free of charge for FMS students, reflecting the academy’s commitment to giving aspiring pilots practical exposure without adding to their training costs.
The visit is part of FMS’s broader philosophy, students shouldn’t just clear DGCA Ground Classes on paper; they should understand exactly what comes next once ground school is done and flying training begins.
For most students in DGCA Ground Classes, flying training can feel like a distant, abstract next step, something they’ll “figure out later.” FMS Aviation Academy believes otherwise. The academy regularly arranges site visits, guest sessions, and industry interactions, at no extra cost to students, to make sure they are mentally and practically prepared for every stage of their pilot training journey, not just the DGCA exams.
The IFA visit gave FMS students the opportunity to:
Students arrived at the Indian Flying Academy campus, where the IFA team welcomed the group with a facility walkthrough. Highlights of the day included:
Facility & Aircraft Tour Students got a guided tour of the training aircraft, hangar, and briefing rooms, understanding how a flying school operates on a daily basis, from pre-flight checks to post-flight debriefs.
Simulator Exposure A short simulator session gave students a preview of instrument flying and cockpit procedures, connecting classroom subjects like Air Navigation and Technical General to real flight scenarios.
Interactive Q&A with Instructors IFA’s flight instructors addressed common student concerns, flying hour requirements, weather-related training delays, safety protocols, and what a typical training day looks like for a CPL candidate.
Career Guidance Session FMS mentors accompanying the group used the visit to reinforce how ground training, flying hours, and Type Rating fit together into one continuous pilot training roadmap.
Students returned from the visit with a clearer picture of what lies ahead once they clear their DGCA papers. Many reported feeling more motivated and better informed about:
FMS Aviation Academy doesn’t stop at DGCA Ground Classes. The academy also assists students with:
Visits like this one to Indian Flying Academy are a small but important part of that end-to-end approach, helping students see the full picture, not just the next exam.

It has been a life-changing experience here. The faculty realizes about the mental and physical well being of a student, encourages constructive discussions. Capt. Manjeet Singh provides not just educational, but philosophical guidance as well, striving me to lead a life of ethics. Totally a worthwhile decision to enrol here.

It's the best aviation academy for pilot training. I enrolled a few months ago, and I can proudly vouch that no other academy teaches a correct attitude of learning and development. FMS not only focuses on concept clearance but also CRM skills and discusses Aircraft Accident Investigations to understand the roles and responsibilities of airline pilots at a very initial stage.

The entire team is not just dedicated themselves but makes sure we push ourselves to the max. Every student gets individual attention as needed, timely tests and regular classes.

Initially, I chose the class because it was conveniently located near my house, but now I realize it's the best decision I could have made.

I am deeply thankful to everyone, especially Capt.Manjeet Sir, for creating such an exceptional and nurturing environment for us.
