Your Journey From
Zero To The Cockpit
DGCA Ground School
Structured classroom instruction across all six DGCA CPL examination subjects — Air Navigation, Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, Technical General, and Technical Specific. Aviora's ground school follows the latest DGCA syllabus (CAR Section 7, Series B) with small batches of maximum 15 cadets. Includes topic-wise mock papers, full-length timed tests, and one-on-one doubt sessions with DGCA-approved instructors. Target pass rate: 95% first attempt.
FBS Simulator Training
Hands-on time in a Fixed Based Simulator replicating the Cessna 172 cockpit — same instruments, same feel, same emergency scenarios you'll face in the air. FBS hours count toward total flight time under DGCA rules. Cadets train instrument approaches (ILS, VOR, NDB), crosswind landings, engine-out procedures, stall recovery, and ATC communication under simulated IMC conditions.
International Flight Training — USA
All practical flight hours are flown in the United States on FAA-registered Cessna 172 aircraft from Part 141-approved flight school in Sacramento , California , USA. Cadets accumulate a minimum of 200 hours total time — including 100 hours PIC, 20 hours cross-country, 10 hours instrument, and 5 hours night flying — meeting DGCA CPL hour requirements in full.
Type Rating — Airbus or Boeing
Specialised type rating on the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737, the workhorses of the Indian aviation market. Includes ground school, Fixed Based Simulator (FBS) and Level D Full Flight Simulator (FFS) training to airline standard operating procedures.
Airline Preparation & CPL Skill Test
The final stage transitions cadets from trained pilots to airline-ready professionals. Includes DGCA CPL Skill Test preparation, psychometric and aptitude test coaching, airline group exercise workshops, and mock technical and HR interviews with active airline captains. Aviora's placement desk actively coordinates with 10 airline partners for batch walk-ins and type rating sponsorship discussions.
Six DGCA Subjects.
Zero Compromise.
Aviora's ground school is structured around the DGCA CPL written examination — all six papers, taught in sequence, tested rigorously throughout.
Air Navigation
Charts and map projections, magnetic variation, dead reckoning, VOR/NDB/GPS position fixing, flight planning, fuel calculations, and en-route track corrections. Typically the highest failure rate DGCA paper — Aviora allocates maximum hours here.
Air Regulations
ICAO Annexes 1–19, DGCA CARs and AIC circulars, Air Traffic Services structure, airspace classification, Rules of the Air, licence requirements, aircraft registration, and accident/incident reporting under AAIB.
Aviation Meteorology
ICAO standard atmosphere, clouds, visibility and fog formation, thunderstorm structure, mountain wave turbulence, wind shear, icing, tropical weather systems, and METAR/TAF/SIGMET decoding.
Technical General
Principles of flight, high-speed aerodynamics, aircraft structures, piston and turbine engine theory, propellers, carburettor icing, fuel systems, hydraulics, electrical systems, and pressurisation.
Technical Specific
The Cessna 172 in full — POH limitations, weight and balance, performance charts, systems descriptions, emergency checklists, and aircraft-specific DGCA regulations. Aviora uses the actual Cessna 172S POH.
(RTR) Radio Telephony Restricted
Training for the RTR(A) exam conducted by WPC. Covers transmission techniques, standard phraseology, and emergency communication protocols required for international and domestic flight operations.
