About us
Asia Pacific Flight Training (APFT) is a DGCA-approved Flight Training Organization headquartered at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad, with additional operations from Begumpet Airport and Kalaburagi Airport in Karnataka. Established with an 11-year track record and zero license suspensions, APFT operates from controlled international airspace with access to professional air navigation services — a rare advantage among Indian FTOs, most of which train from uncontrolled airfields.
The academy maintains an unusually low cadet-to-instructor ratio (roughly 8 cadets per instructor), with instructors averaging around 3,200 hours of instructional experience. APFT reports a 97% placement record with Indian and foreign airlines.
Training fleet: 6 single-engine Diamond DA40D and 1 multi-engine Diamond DA42, both FADEC-equipped with modern glass-cockpit avionics.
Courses span the full pilot pathway — CPL, PPL, Multi-Engine Instrument Rating, Instrument Rating, Type Rating, Assistant Flight Instructor Rating, Flight Instructor Rating, Foreign License Conversion, and ATPL Renewal.
