What Is a DGCA Pilot Training Program?

A DGCA CPL pilot training program qualifies you to fly commercially as a licensed pilot in India. To earn your Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), you must:

  • Clear 6 DGCA ground theory exams (minimum 70% each)
  • Complete 200 flying hours on a DGCA-approved aircraft
  • Hold a valid DGCA Class 1 Medical Certificate
  • Pass the RTR(A) exam for radio telephony

The full pilot training program, ground school through flight hours, typically takes 18 to 24 months.
The right CPL training course compresses that timeline by keeping your preparation and flight training tightly structured.

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.
