DGCA to Rank Flying Schools in India
DGCA to Rank Flying Schools in India: What It Means for You as a Future Pilot
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is set to introduce a game-changing move for aviation education in India, starting October 2025, all flying schools across the country will be ranked twice a year.
Whether you’re an aspiring pilot or a parent looking for the best aviation training institution, this ranking system is here to bring clarity, accountability, and transparency to your decision-making process. Let’s break down why this matters and how it impacts your journey to the cockpit.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is set to introduce an official ranking system for flying schools across India — a move that marks a significant step toward transparency and quality assurance in pilot training. This ranking will consider key parameters such as safety standards, infrastructure, instructor qualifications, student performance, and adherence to regulations.
For aspiring pilots, this means a clearer path to choosing a reputable and high-performing aviation academy. A strong DGCA ranking will help highlight institutions that consistently maintain excellence in training and operations — ensuring that students receive the best possible foundation for their aviation careers.
One such institution setting benchmarks in aviation training is Orient Flights. Known for its professional approach, modern fleet, and experienced instructors, Orient Flights offers robust CPL programs tailored to industry standards:
As DGCA’s rankings bring greater visibility to top-performing schools, training with a trusted name like Orient Flights ensures you’re on the right track — both in the skies and in your aviation career.
A New Era of Accountability and Standards
Until now, selecting a flying school often came down to marketing, hearsay, or flashy brochures. But with DGCA’s new ranking system, the focus shifts to what truly matters:
- Training quality
- Operational safety
- Infrastructure and resources
- Student satisfaction and performance
This initiative is designed to promote a higher standard of aviation education across India—and we at Orient Flights Aviation Academy are proud to be part of this transformational step forward.
Here’s What DGCA Will Evaluate
To ensure schools are meeting the highest benchmarks, DGCA will assess key areas including:
- Whether training is safe and well-structured
- The availability of qualified instructors and sufficient aircraft
- Timely course completion rates without unnecessary delays
- Whether proper systems and procedures are in place
- The overall student experience, including support, guidance, and respect
It’s no longer about big claims, it’s about real results.
Why This Ranking Matters to Students and Families
This ranking system is a win for both students and parents. Here’s why:
- It enables families to compare flying schools based on data, not advertising
- It helps students identify serious, safety-focused institutions
- It eliminates guesswork by providing clear, reliable insights
- It ensures your decision is career-driven and informed
