Recency expires
DGCA needs 15 hrs PIC in the 6 months before application. Delay means expensive additional flying.
End-to-end mentorship for converting your FAA, EASA, or NZ CAA CPL into a DGCA Commercial Pilot Licence — without the mistakes that cost students lakhs and months.
You spent ₹55–90 lakhs training abroad. You have your foreign CPL. And now the hardest part begins — converting it so you can actually fly for an Indian airline. Most students lose 6–12 months here while recency expires and savings drain.
DGCA needs 15 hrs PIC in the 6 months before application. Delay means expensive additional flying.
DGCA-format logbooks not maintained from Day 1 abroad. Retrofitting takes weeks and delays everything.
Air Regulations and Composite Paper not done before going abroad — 3–6 months lost on return.
Class 1 slots at AFCME/IAM book 2–3 months ahead. No slot, no progress.
Class 2 medical, eGCA registration, file and computer numbers. Clear Air Regulations + Composite Paper. Begin RTR prep — this alone saves 3–6 months on return.
Dual-logbook compliance from Day 1 — local format plus DGCA format, tracked against every conversion criterion.
Pre-booked AFCME/IAM Class 1 slot and RTR oral viva at WPC. If exams cleared pre-departure, you are already halfway to submission.
10–25 hrs conversion flying at a DGCA-approved FTO: 250 NM day cross-country, 120 NM night, and the DGCA skill test.
Documents compiled, logbooks verified, application submitted on eGCA. DGCA processes in 8–12 weeks — you hold a DGCA CPL.
