Pilot Ground Classes

COURSE DESCRIPTION

A wise pilot knows that a strong ground is mandatory to make an effortless take off. A pilot is expected to be judicious. That’s where the Pilot Ground School makes all the difference. A sensible pilot will always study first and complete her exams and then move on to flying. The Pilot Training is a critical choice to make. It is often said that anybody can fly; it’s the ground subjects which define a pilot and demands dedication and focus.

When you talk to any experienced pilot for their guidance, most will tell you to do your ground studies first and then go on and do the flying training. DGCA allows 30 months to pass the ground school subjects for which it conducts the quarterly exams in the months of April, July, October and January.

IGIA being a renowned ground school since the year 2003 provides you just the right launch pad to take off to your pilot career. A team of experienced pilots who specialize in their subjects are there to prepare you to pass the PPL/CPL exams in the shortest possible time. Once you have passed the ground subjects, the required flying training of minimum 200 hours can be completed in barely around 6 months.
