Do you want to become a Commercial Pilot? If yes, this article will be of help to you. Here, I’ve listed some of the best flying schools in India. The best thing about these flying schools is that they charge relatively lower fees. The reason for relatively low fees is subsidy provided by these schools.
To become a commercial pilot, one must obtain CPL (Commercial Pilot License). To obtain CPL, one must obtain flying training from an institute recognized by the DGCA.
The training institute where flying training is provided is called a flying school. In India, there are many Government operated as well as privately run flying schools and clubs.
To obtain CPL, a candidate must complete 200 flying hours at a flying school. In short, flying schools are very important, when it comes to obtaining a CPL!
Typical flying school charges could be anywhere between 25-40 Lakh Rupees (or more). Yes, it is a costly process!
How to select the right flying school?
As I mentioned before, flying schools are expensive. It is a huge investment for many of us. That’s why you must give adequate attention towards the quality of the school (you’re about to take admission in).
While taking admission, make sure that the flying school satisfies the points mentioned below –
- The flying school should be recognized by the DGCA.
- It should have adequate infrastructure.
- The faculty should be well trained, experienced and knowledgeable.
- There should be adequate lab and practical facilities
