What the DGCA figures tell you
In its favour
- DGCA approval runs to September 2027, so renewal is not an immediate question.
Check before you commit
- DGCA lists only 4 aircraft. A small fleet means one grounded aeroplane is a large share of the line, so ask how many are serviceable today and how many students are sharing them.
- No multi-engine aircraft appears in DGCA's list for this school. A CPL needs multi-engine time, so ask where that part of the course is flown and whether it costs extra.
- A single flying base, so there is no alternate airfield when it is weather-bound or the runway is closed. Ask what happens to your schedule then.
- DGCA lists no website for this school, so there is no public page to check its claims against.
Every line above restates a figure from DGCA's published documents and says why it matters. Nothing here is our opinion of the school, and none of it measures teaching quality, which no public document reports.
Typical flying weather
Monsoon Jun–Sep, plus Gangetic-plain winter fog (Dec–Jan) that delays morning sorties.
This is a broad regional pattern, not a forecast. What actually matters is how many days a year this base can fly — ask the school for its weather-cancelled sortie count.
Contact
Aircraft-to-student ratio is the single best predictor of finishing on time, but DGCA does not publish student numbers — the fleet shown here is one half of that sum, and only the school can give you the other. Ask how many aircraft are serviceable today. Last transcribed 27 Jul 2026.
