Indian DGCA Compliant Pilot Program

Our courses and training aircraft both meet the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) requirements. All India pilot training courses include the DGCA required 200 total hours, with over 200 in-aircraft hours.

It is essential to note that High Flyers Flight Academy does not use “shared time” or “safety pilot” time, as some other schools do, to satisfy pilot-in-command (PIC) time. Shared time may reduce costs, it is NOT recognized as PIC time in India, as well as many other countries.importantly, since shared time also reduces “hands-on” flight time, it diminishes the student pilot’s flight skills.
