What the DGCA figures tell you

In its favour

  • DGCA approval runs to February 2028, so renewal is not an immediate question.

Check before you commit

  • Just one multi-engine aircraft is listed. Every student needs multi-engine hours, so ask how those slots are scheduled and what happens when that one aeroplane is down.
  • 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 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

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.

Last verified 27 July 2026
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.

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.
