What the DGCA figures tell you

In its favour

  • DGCA graded it Category B in the April 2026 ranking.
  • DGCA approval runs to November 2027, so renewal is not an immediate question.

Check before you commit

  • 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.

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 cost

Every fact here is transcribed from DGCA's own list of approved FTOs, dated 30 Mar 2026. Approvals lapse and rankings move, so confirm a school on the official documents before you pay anything. There are no fees on this page on purpose: schools quote wildly different numbers for wildly different inclusions, so put the quote you were actually given into the cost worksheet.
Categories come from DGCA's ranking published 1 Apr 2026, which assessed FTOs as on 28 Feb 2026 and ranked 35 of them. The other 6 were excluded, and we show DGCA's stated reason on each of those schools' pages — a school left out for having no valid approval, or for not flying at all, is telling you something no brochure will. Rankings are reissued twice a year, next expected 1 Oct 2026.
DGCA approved-FTO list DGCA FTO ranking How to choose a school

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.

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.

In its favour

  • Established in 1995 at Kanpur.
  • DGCA lists 16 aircraft including 2 multi-engine, a reasonable balance for a single-base school.

Weather at these bases

Kanpur is in the Indo-Gangetic plain, squarely inside the winter fog belt where December and January fog can stop flying for days at a time.
