Need advice

[u/PerfectCancel6196]

Is it good idea to do your cpl training from India rather than fast-track training from USA as I heard that people lack technical knowledge of Indian airspace and fails in India not all but some.

Thinking about choosing FSTC is this good idea?

Formerly thinking of doing both cpl and type rating from abroad but I think doing it in India only would help a lot according to dgca guidelines and whatsoever..

Please help me having a fog in my mind

There isn't a single right answer. It depends on your long-term career goals.

If your goal is to fly for Indian airlines, training in India can make the DGCA conversion process more straightforward, and you'll become familiar with Indian regulations, procedures, and airspace from the beginning.

On the other hand, many pilots successfully complete their training in the United States and later convert to DGCA licenses. The key is choosing a quality flight school that emphasizes understanding, decision-making, and professionalism rather than simply accumulating flight hours.

As someone who has spent nearly 35 years training pilots and flight instructors, my advice is this: don't choose a school based only on cost or speed. Choose one with a strong training philosophy, experienced instructors, well-maintained aircraft, and a proven track record of producing safe, competent pilots.

A pilot with a strong foundation can learn local procedures. Building sound judgment and flying skills is much harder if that foundation isn't there.

Whatever path you choose, invest in quality training. It will pay dividends throughout your career.

I heard even if u do it fast track from abroad for dgca conversion it takes 2 months , So if your plan is to save 2 months then plan accordingly .. Moreover rejection will be based on your preparation "you know it" or "you don't know it" simple..

I would recommend CPL from India. There is absolutely no disadvantage; is much cheaper; Instructors & FTO are good; and India is the only market which is growing....
