What the DGCA figures tell you
In its favour
- DGCA graded it Category B in the April 2026 ranking.
Check before you commit
- DGCA lists only 3 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.
- The nearest weather station is not the airfield itself for at least one base, so live reports are an approximation of what you would actually be flying in.
- DGCA's list records this school's approval as already past its validity date. Confirm the current status on DGCA's own list before paying anything.
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
Dense winter fog (Dec–Jan) can ground flying for days at a time, and the southwest monsoon runs Jul–Sep. Summer heat pushes density altitude up, which cuts useful load.
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.

Model this school's costAircraft-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.
Beyond the DGCA list
Researched by us from the school's own site, Wikipedia and official pages, then dated and cited. This is weaker evidence than the DGCA figures above, and it is free editorial work: no school pays to appear here, and nothing in this section affects ordering, filtering or ranking anywhere on the site.
Check before you commit
- The school's website was suspended by its host when checked, so there is no public page to check any claim against.
Weather at these bases
Aligarh is in the Indo-Gangetic plain, inside the winter fog belt where December and January fog is the main cause of lost flying days. The nearest reporting station is Delhi, not Aligarh itself.
