FAQ's

A Cadet Pilot Program is an airline-aligned training pathway that takes a student from zero flying experience to an airline First Officer through structured flight training, simulator sessions, and type rating.
Applicants must have completed Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics, meet age criteria, and hold a valid medical as per Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) requirements.
Unlike the traditional CPL route, cadet programs follow airline SOPs, use standardized training processes, and often include type rating, offering a clearer pathway to airline employment.
The total cost typically ranges between ₹80 lakh to ₹1.5 crore, depending on the airline, training location (India or abroad), aircraft type, and inclusions.
While cadet programs are designed to align with airline requirements, employment is usually subject to successful completion of training, simulator checks, and final airline assessments.
