Arca Global Aviation Private Limited

I recently attended one of ARCA Aviation's online webinars, just to get a feel for the school before making any decisions. I wasn't expecting much honestly - most of these info sessions feel like glorified sales pitches. This one was actually different. The person conducting the session clearly knew what they were talking about. They walked through the training pathway, DGCA requirements, and what the journey from zero hours to CPL actually looks like in practical terms. No fluff, no dodging the tough questions. Someone in the session asked about costs and timelines and they gave straight answers rather than the usual "contact us to know more" runaround. What I appreciated most was that it didn't feel like they were trying to hard-sell you into enrolling on the spot. There was genuine information being shared, and you could tell the school has thought seriously about how they position themselves for serious aspirants. I haven't enrolled yet, but based on the webinar alone, ARCA has moved right to the top of my shortlist.

Brand new FTO with highest fee in India for having 2 single engine and one multi engine. - No track record - In the first 2 mins of the webinar they are expecting the students to pay the entrance amount and it's not a small amount. - when other students are enquiring from other FTOs that they have completed certain number of hours, they are not providing the reduced price for the remaining hours and instead asking to pay the entrance amount - Looks like the whole point of their webinar was to collect non refundable entrance exam money from as many students as possible. - They don't seem very organised. They don't have things planned properly. - The reason that they are mentioning for their high quotation is that they can challenge that no other FTO in India is operating from controlled aerodrome. But in reality FTOs like Dunes, MPFC, Ekvi, IFA, Flyola they all operate from controlled aerodrome and don't charge hefty amounts like this FTO.

Looks Good on a Brochure, Falls Short in the Sky. I recently attended an online webinar for this brand-new flight school, looking for a solid training program for my son. As a father looking to invest a significant amount of money into my son's future, I walked away deeply unimpressed. Their fleet is dangerously thin for a school claiming to be a premier choice: - 2 Single-Engine aircraft - 1 Multi-Engine aircraft With only three planes total, there is zero redundancy. If one single-engine plane goes into maintenance - which happens constantly in flight training - half the school's capacity vanishes. Combine that with the ATC delays they'll face at a controlled field, and I can already see the "scheduling conflicts" and cancelled lessons piling up. They are asking parents to bankroll their startup phase while they "figure out" the mode of operating in a restrictive environment. I'm not willing to let my son be a guinea pig for a school that hasn't proven it can actually get a student to a check-ride.

Today I attended their webinar and their main agenda looks like to swindle money. They are not providing any solid data with any proof, on top of that they want students to pay 37,500/- (non refundable) upfront for entrance test. There's no FTO in India which does that. This FTO is quoting extremely high price and they are excluding the landing fee, parking fee, etc (so all other additional charges are supposed to be paid by the student on top of the high price that they are quoting already). Being a new FTO they are supposed to give better pricing than existing FTOs that have proved themselves with more number of students obtaining CPL from them. They don't seem to be bothered by any of the students' concerns and for any questions first they mention about paying the entrance fee then their admission team will get back. A very disappointing first conversation with this new FTO, had high hopes but it's not worth it.

New fto cpl fees is so high For entrance exam asking for 37500 I don't think so join it There is dunes with top class facility And cheaper

New FTO, no track record, entrance exam 37,500/- non refundable you clear it or not but you have to pay this amount, extremely high fee, operation from controlled aerodrome from where 2 more FTOs are operating- will be very busy environment and slots available will be less. Either this FTO is DELUSIONAL or VERY GREEDY.

The infrastructure and aircraft technology used for training are impressive. The learning environment is professional, and safety standards are well maintained throughout the training process.

I found the webinar so useful and informative. It helped me understand how the CPL course is structured and what to expect from it.

The session was good and easy to understand. It gave me a good idea about the CPL course and training environment.

Great place to start a career in aviation. Skilled trainers, good practical exposure, and a professional learning environment.

Arca's strict norm to follow of aircraft to student ratio is highly appreciated.

Lovely! Fleet is brand new, loved the maintenance, safety measures & planning. Moderately fast flying and overall good experience.
