Cadet voices
Don't just take our word for it — PilotsAssist cadets share what training with us was actually like.
Talk to a counsellor“Zero hours to CPL in 13 months. Communication was seamless — someone from PilotsAssist picked up every single time I called, even at 2am India time.”
Divyansh
Verified cadet“My first solo happened in week seven. The base was ready for me — accommodation, medical, student pilot licence, all sorted before I landed.”
Ranbir
Verified cadet“The South Africa training process felt clear from day one. Their team helped me prepare for every stage of my PPL and stayed available whenever I needed support.”
Rajdeep
Verified cadet“As a girl flying abroad for the first time, having a PilotsAssist team member in the same city changed everything for my parents.”
Shanon
Verified cadet“The loan was the part I feared most. They structured it with the bank so each disbursement matched the school's fee stage exactly.”
Ishita
Verified cadet“My DGCA conversion plan was mapped before I left India — exams, RTR(A), medical. I lost zero months after coming home.”
Kabir
Verified cadet“Instructors went subject by subject until Nav and Met finally clicked. Cleared all papers in one attempt.”
Rohit
Verified cadet“An all-inclusive package with no hidden costs. Accommodation, visa and every flying stage was in writing before I paid a rupee.”
Sanya
Verified cadet“Mock exams, interview prep, airline paperwork — every step was already planned for me. I had an offer before my logbook closed.”

Still unsure? Our advisors answer the awkward ones too — cost overruns, visa delays and hiring reality.
We are a pilot training and advisory company. We do not run the aircraft — we train cadets with vetted flight schools across South Africa, the USA, Europe and Australia, and stay with them from counselling to licence conversion. Because we are independent of any single school, our recommendation follows your budget and timeline, not one academy's intake targets.
A live line staffed across time zones for medical emergencies, accommodation and visa issues, school escalations, money transfer problems and academic progress concerns. Our team is physically present in every region we place students into.
Yes. We assist with education loan applications through banks and NBFCs, including collateral and non-collateral routes, and help structure disbursement against the school's fee schedule so your training never stalls mid-course.
Typically 14–24 months to CPL depending on the base, the weather, aircraft availability and your own pace. South Africa is usually the quickest; European integrated programmes take longest because ATPL theory is built in.
A foreign CPL is converted to a DGCA CPL through the licence conversion process — DGCA exams, a Class 1 medical, an RTR(A) licence and the conversion flight check. We support this end to end, including ground classes.
Yes. We arrange type ratings on the A320 family, B737, B787, Embraer E-Jets and business jets including Cessna Citation, Hawker, HondaJet, Beechcraft and Cirrus, and prepare you for airline assessments.
Tell us where you are today — school, college or already flying — and we'll map the base, the budget and the licence route in one call.
