Until now, no other pilot training institutes have come up with such an opportunity to aid students realize their dream of becoming pilots.

 

The programme is specifically designed for potential students looking at pilot training and will offer practical education and training, on practices, legal and regulatory aspects of pilot training .The course module is spread over a period of 2 months and would include 15 hours of Single Engine flying along with the basic understanding of ground school procedures. This is not just a coaching course as what they earn during the training i.e. flying & ground school hours are credited to their pilot training records if they decide to go ahead and take up the pilot training. The course is nominally priced at Rs 2 lakhs, which is 1/10th, the price of a regular CPL, which costs close to Rs. 23 lakhs, hence bringing down the entry barrier for people who earlier could not even try out this expensive course and also for aspirants who want to spread their training w.r.t time & cost and yet not compromise on quality.
