What the DGCA figures tell you
In its favour
- DGCA approval runs to August 2030, so renewal is not an immediate question.
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.
- No base here has a nearby station reporting METAR, so live conditions cannot be checked from outside. Ask the school for its weather-cancelled sortie count instead.
- DGCA left this school out of its April 2026 ranking. Its stated reason: Not ranked in this phase: had not completed 18 months since approval as on 28 Feb 2026.
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.

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.
- Founded
- 2023
- Run by
- Cabinet Secretariat and Vigilance Department (Civil Aviation Division), Government of Jharkhand
- Registered under the Societies Act in 2023, which makes it the newest organisation in this directory and explains why DGCA has not yet ranked it.
In its favour
- Directly run by a Government of Jharkhand department.
- Dumka is a quiet airfield, so circuit traffic is unlikely to compete for slots.
Check before you commit
- Registered only in 2023, which is why DGCA has not ranked it: there is no track record to assess yet, and no completed student cohort to ask about.
- DGCA lists no nearby METAR-reporting station for Dumka, so live conditions cannot be checked remotely.
Weather at these bases
Dumka is in the Santhal Pargana uplands of Jharkhand, where the southwest monsoon from June to September is the main interruption. No nearby station reports METAR, so ask the institute directly for its weather-cancellation record.
