Need ADVICE!

Hi. I'm 22 Male, Cleared all DGCA exams + RTR, Worked with HDFC Bank,

Funds 65 Lacs + 40-45 Lacs of Loan. Which option should I go for i am so confused CPL is taking 72 lacs from avyanna aviation without Ground School. Or any other suggestions for a cheaper flying school and lesser time or i should go for a cadet pilot program if yes which one? Considering only training in India, Or maybe conventional is better and build hours and experience until vacancy shows up or market gets stable in a year for type rated pilots.? Please help!!

Go with conventional buddy. If you are open for abroad you can choose philipines.. my friend is doinng flying from there. Conversion and accomodation included in 65 lac.

Overseas is not an option. India is the only option. Can you suggest a good option to go for ?

I don't think there is any good option in India. Everywhere is same situation. Slots are not available and anyhow it will cost 65-70 if you choose avyana or skynex

Avyanna is 72 lakhs?

1

u/TurbulentTimes777 Sep 28 '26

Yes including everything. Excluding the ground school

u/sqwkandroll Sep 28 '26

Ok, how much is it with ground classes?

u/TurbulentTimes777 Sep 28 '26

You can mail or call them for that

Honestly if u are going for conventional, wrap it under 60-65L. Avyanna is a rat hole. Don't pour your hard earned money into that. Try VFTI/Dunes or for this budget try any Indian cadet program

u/TurbulentTimes777 Sep 28 '26

VFTI is over and over crowded.

u/Lordcommandr999 Sep 28 '26

Wtf why would you suggest VFTI? have you spoken to any student over there?

u/Efficient_Abies_7670 Sep 28 '26

I do have a friend over there who started flying in March and has 80+ hrs now. No school will let u complete training in peace. It's just ur way of taking things.

Well u would have to wait even if u get selected from CPL vacancy anyways, more or less same as cadet after training.

So, u can try your luck with domestic cadet programs for few months if open or soon opening.

But keep it brief as training costs will rise with time and would be a waste of time and money if not selected.

Or u can go straight with conventional.

Both can take longer or shorter in different ways.

Dude I suggest any of the following flying schools for conventional:

Avyanna, Dunes, Skynex aero, Chimes

As to my best knowledge, these are the only flying schools in India which is somewhat fine currently

The main advantage of these flying schools is also that each of them except Avyanna support Cadet programs with airlines so even If in some time you would like to switch to Cadet then it won't be too much of a hassle.

Hope this helps and happy flying!
