For aspiring pilots
Your roadmap to flying
If you want to learn to fly in India, here is the path from zero to solo — and beyond.
1
Trial lesson
Book a discovery flight at any DGCA-approved flight school. One hour in the air will tell you if flying is for you. Most schools offer this for ₹3,000–8,000.
2
Student Pilot Licence (SPL)
A basic medical exam and a written test gets you an SPL. You can now fly solo under instructor supervision.
3
Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
40+ hours of flight training, written exams, and a skills test. You can now fly yourself and passengers for non-commercial purposes.
4
Join an aero club or flying group
Connect with other pilots, share aircraft costs, build your hours, and become part of the GA community.
5
Commercial or specialist ratings (optional)
CPL, instrument rating, multi-engine, and more — if you want to fly professionally or in specific roles.
