Extremely poor customer service experience. Staff member was rude and dismissive when called at 8 PM, questioning the caller's judgment despite the school's own Google listing showing availability. Disappointing treatment of a trainee investing significant fees in their flying education.

Frequently Asked Questions
How old is Madhya Pradesh Flying Club and why does that matter?
MPFC was established on 9 October 1951 and has operated continuously since 1955, making it one of India's oldest DGCA-approved flying clubs — with decades of proven training infrastructure predating most private aviation academies.
Why does MPFC operate from two cities?
MPFC runs from two independent bases — Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport, Indore and Raja Bhoj Airport, Bhopal — giving trainees flexibility to choose either Madhya Pradesh hub for ground and flight training.
What is the fee for the Private Pilot License (PPL) at MPFC?
Approximately 12 to 15 Lakhs, covering the DGCA-mandated minimum 40 hours of dual and solo flight training. Confirm the current figure directly with MPFC before relying on it for a purchase decision.
What is the fee and duration for the Commercial Pilot License (CPL) at MPFC?
Reported fees vary significantly across sources; duration is typically around 18 months. Given the wide spread in reported figures, confirm the current fee directly with MPFC before relying on it.
Is MPFC DGCA-approved?
Yes. MPFC is approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), New Delhi, for PPL, CPL, and Multi-Engine Rating training.
What does "AELP" mean at MPFC, and is it a flying course?
AELP stands for Aviation English Language Proficiency — a mandatory DGCA/ICAO English-communication test and training program required before any pilot license is issued, not a flight-rating course. MPFC is an approved AELP training and testing provider.
What aircraft does MPFC train on?
MPFC's fleet includes Cessna 152 and Cessna 172 single-engine aircraft, plus a Piaggio P68C and Beech Baron G58 for multi-engine rating training.
Why choose an older, government-linked flying club like MPFC over a newer private academy?
MPFC operates as a public limited company under the Madhya Pradesh State Government with over 70 years of continuous operating history, including past service maintaining state government aircraft and supporting national defense efforts — an established track record newer private academies haven't yet built.
