Quick answers.
For students
What’s the minimum qualification to become a pilot in India?
10+2 with Physics and Mathematics. If you didn’t study PCM, you can still qualify by clearing these subjects through NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling).
How old do I need to be to start?
You can begin CPL ground training at 17. You must be 18 to hold the licence itself. There is no upper age limit to start training.
How many flying hours do I need?
DGCA requires a minimum of 200 hours logged at an approved FTO, including solo, cross-country, instrument and multi-engine components.
Can I become a pilot if I wear glasses?
In most cases yes — provided your vision corrects to the required standard. This is assessed during your DGCA medical.
How many DGCA exams are there, and how often?
Air Navigation, Air Regulations, Meteorology and Technical papers, plus RTR(A). Exams run four times a year with unlimited re-attempts; a pass stays valid for 5 years.
For parents
What’s the total realistic cost of CPL training?
Plan for roughly ₹60–90 lakh end to end — ground school, exams, medicals, 200 flying hours and a type rating. We share an exact, itemised figure at your free consultation, with no hidden charges.
What if my child fails the medical after we’ve paid fees?
This is exactly why we insist on clearing the Class 1 Medical early — before committing major training fees. We sequence the journey so medical fitness is confirmed first.
How long does the whole process realistically take?
Typically 1.5–2 years, depending on exam attempts, medical scheduling and FTO availability. You get a personalised timeline at your demo session.
Is there placement support after the licence?
Yes — we guide type-rating choices and airline applications, and prepare students for each airline’s multi-stage recruitment.
What if training must pause for exams or health?
Your DGCA theory passes stay valid for five years, so a planned pause won’t reset your progress. We help you re-sequence around it.
