What the DGCA figures tell you
In its favour
- DGCA approval runs to November 2028, 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.
- 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
The southwest monsoon (Jun–Sep) is the main disruption; the rest of the year is largely stable and flyable, which is why several of the largest FTOs are based here.
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
- 1947
- Run by
- Government of Maharashtra
- Founded in 1947 and taken over by the Government of Maharashtra in 1990, under which it still operates.
In its favour
- Operating since 1947 and run by the Government of Maharashtra since 1990.
- The Nagpur base is a major international airport with on-field weather reporting and full instrument approaches.
Check before you commit
- Nagpur is a busy cargo and passenger hub, so ask how circuit slots are allocated to training.
Weather at these bases
Nagpur sits in central India where the June to September monsoon is the main interruption. The Chandrapur strip has no on-field reporting station.
