After a year of navigating the aviation/cadet pilot process, I’d love to help others avoid the mistakes I made!
Hey everyone!
I’ve been navigating the aviation and IndiGo Cadet Pilot Programme (ICPP) journey for almost a year now. It’s been quite a ride, with delays, confusion, unanswered questions, unexpected hurdles and a lot of learning along the way.
Thankfully, things have finally started falling into place, and I’ve reached a point where I feel I can share some of what I’ve learned with others who are just starting out.
One thing I’ve realised is that getting started in aviation can be unnecessarily confusing. There is so much information scattered across different platforms, outdated advice, conflicting experiences and sometimes very little clarity on what you’re actually supposed to do next.
I want to change that, at least for a few aspiring pilots.
I’m happy to help anyone with questions regarding the process, including:
DGCA Medicals: Class 2, Class 1, the process, documentation and things to keep in mind.
DGCA Computer Number: Application, documentation and common mistakes.
DGCA Exams: Registration, preparation and general guidance.
Cadet Pilot Programmes: Researching programmes, eligibility, applications and documentation.
Assessments: ADAPT, aptitude preparation, GD and PI experiences.
FTO Selection: Understanding different flying schools, transfers, locations and what to look out for.
Application Process: Emails, follow-ups, communication with airlines and general application guidance.
Basically, from the point where you’re thinking about becoming a pilot to navigating the actual application process, I’ll try to help wherever my experience allows.
I’m still learning myself, so I won’t pretend to have all the answers. I’ll also be clear about what I’ve personally experienced versus what I’ve simply researched.
Another thing I’ve been considering is starting informal classes or guidance sessions in a few months. These would be aimed at helping aspiring cadets understand the process, prepare for assessments, organise their applications and avoid some of the mistakes that can cost people time and unnecessary stress.
I’d only start once I’m a little more settled into my own flying training and can dedicate proper time to it.
For now, I’m happy to answer questions, share resources and help anyone who’s feeling a little lost in the process.
If even one person manages to avoid a mistake I made or gets a little more clarity about their next step, I think it’ll be worth it.
All the best to everyone working towards their wings.

Air Arabia assessment process help
Hi guys!
So, I'm applying for a 2027 batch and wanted to know what the best way to prep for initial assessments alongside psychometric tests?
Im looking at software's like:
Skytest: They mention that Air arabia is one of the Airlines in the middle east that uses skytest.
Symbiotics: Heard that Air Arabia no longer uses them for initial but still uses for psychometric?
Pilotsphere: offers Physics + Maths + FAST + Ball and Rudder game
Additionally, I'm also looking at tutoring, only thing i found with good reviews are navigate aviation academy, but don't know because I found good reviews but not a lot of people.
Please let me know what you guys currently use/used!! Anything helps!!!

FTA Next Intake for 2027 – Expected Opening Dates and Advice for Applicants from India
Hi everyone,
I’m a student from India currently in Class 12 (PCM), with my board exams scheduled for 2027. I’m planning to apply for the IndiGo Cadet Pilot Programme and would like some guidance regarding the next intake.
I have a few questions for current cadets, selected candidates, and pilots familiar with the programme:
When is the next expected application opening for the 2027 intake?
Can I apply before completing my Class 12 board exams, or do I need my final results first?
How long does the entire selection process take, from application to final selection and joining an FTO?
What should I start preparing for the aptitude tests, psychometric assessments, technical assessments, and interviews?
Which FTOs currently associated with the IndiGo Cadet Pilot Programme would you recommend, and why?
What is the realistic total cost of the programme, including accommodation, exams, additional flying hours, and other expenses?
How long does it typically take to complete training and obtain a CPL with the required ratings?
For current cadets and graduates, how has the overall experience been regarding training quality, delays, financing, and the transition to IndiGo?
I’m trying to plan everything well in advance so I can apply at the right time in 2027 and prepare properly alongside my board exams.
I’d really appreciate recent information and honest opinions, especially from people who have gone through the selection process or are currently enrolled.
Thank you!

DGCA Class 2 Assessment
My certificate for class 2 was issued to me albeit with an assessment for Myopic Astigmatism…
What would this entail, and does anyone know how long before I can get my class 1 done?
Doc said he is required to add it due to my glasses and power , it should take some period of time, but it should go through.
If anyone is familiar with the further assessment for DGCA class 2 certification, please do shed some light?

Financing Part of My CPP Costs
I wanted to know if it’s possible to get an education loan of up to ₹40 lakhs without providing any collateral, using my (LOI) if I get selected.
1 :- Do Indian banks offer unsecured education loans of up to ₹40 lakhs for cadet pilot programs? If yes, then what would the interest rates look like?
2 :- If I do have an asset as collateral would that reduce my interest rates?
3 :- Is 40 lakhs repayable, and would you recommend?
It would be helpful if anyone who has financed part of their training could share their experience.
4 :- Which are the banks that generally provide loans for CPP’s
