Got Questions?

Private Pilot License FAQs

Can I convert my foreign PPL license to DGCA India?

Yes! Under DGCA regulations, a valid ICAO Private Pilot License issued by CAAP (Philippines) can be converted or credited directly towards your DGCA CPL/PPL requirements after passing DGCA composite exams.

Can I fly commercial airlines with only a PPL?

A PPL allows you to fly for private/personal purposes or carry non-paying passengers. To fly as a paid pilot for commercial airlines, you continue from PPL directly into Commercial Pilot License (CPL) training.

What aircraft will I fly during PPL training?

Students train on world-standard trainer aircraft such as the Cessna 172 Skyhawk equipped with Garmin G1000 glass cockpits and reliable single-engine trainer models.
