If you are an Indian national, you'll be happy to know that we
offer a customized Airline Pilot Program that meets the
requirements of both the Indian DGCA and the American FAA.
When you graduate from our Airline Pilot (DGCA) Program,
you will have 230 total hours, including:
- 130 hours of dual flight instruction
- 30 hours of flight simulator instruction
- 105 hours of ground school (Private, Instrument, Commercial, Multi-Engine)
- 80 hours of preflight & postflight instruction
You will hold the FAA Commercial Pilot certificate with the Airplane Single-Engine Land, Airplane Multi-Engine Land, and Instrument ratings. You will have met and exceeded the
DGCA and FAA requirements.
You will have two options: Option A, which uses a Cessna 152 for most training, costs $39,199. It is available to students weighing less than 180 pounds. Students who weigh more than 180 pounds must use a Cessna 172, due to aircraft weight limitations. The cost of this program (Option B) is $44,699.
Unlike many flight schools, there are no hidden costs in our package programs. The prices include all aircraft rental costs, fuel costs, flight instruction, ground school, a Jeppesen training kit, aviation charts, an Instrument Flying Textbook, and all required Pilot Operating Handbooks. It even includes all FAA written test fees, all FAA designated examiner checkride fees, and your FAA medical exam fee.
However, it is important to note that we CANNOT GUARANTEE you will complete your training in the hours listed above. Every student has different skills, which we cannot predict. While we do our best to ensure you complete your training quickly, you must realize that you may be required to take additional training at additional cost, if your skills do not meet FAA standards for the various pilot certificates and ratings.
The only things not included in the package prices are food, housing, and a pilot headset. We offer clean, comfortable, affordable housing located close to Hayward Airport, so you
can complete your training swiftly and efficiently.
If you're serious about an airline career, don't be fooled by empty promises. Talk to us first. We'll give you straight answers, sound advice, and most importantly, excellent professional pilot training.
