The following courses are recommended for Strike Wing Aviation students from India.  Each course satisfies all of the DGCA requirements and uses aircraft recognized by that authority.  All the courses include at least 210 total hours logged with over 200 hours in aircraft.  Strike Wing Aviation does not use “shared time” or “safety pilot” time to reach the required pilot-in-command (PIC) time in these courses.  Even though this shared time can reduce costs, it is not recognized as PIC time in many countries including India.  Since it also reduces the amount of “hands-on” flight time each student obtains, shared time also diminishes the flight skill obtained by each student priors to graduation.

Three options are listed below.  The most economical choice is to choose the C152 for all single-engine airplane hours.  However, students heavier than 90 kg will be more comfortable in a C172.  Strike Wing Aviation also offers the option of using the all-glass C172 SP with G-1000 avionics for all or part of your single-engine training.  One of the most popular options is listed below and utilizes glass-cockpit aircraft for the instrument rating but the more economical C152 for all other single engine hours.  We pride ourselves on being able to give students the equipment that meets the requirements needed by each student.  If you need something not listed here, please ask and we will quote that for you. Our required multi-engine flight hours are done in the Piper Seneca which is acceptable to the DGCA in India.
