Student stories

Real students, in their own words.

“From starting my aviation journey to experiencing my very first flight, PilotsAssist has been there throughout the process. Their guidance, support and constant follow-up made everything feel much easier and gave me the confidence to take that first big step towards becoming a pilot. Truly grateful to the entire PilotsAssist team.”

Ranbir

“I started completely from scratch, completed my PPL and am now continuing towards my CPL. Throughout the journey, PilotsAssist has been more than just a training facilitator, they have been a mentor and a genuine support system. I’m grateful to have them beside me as I continue working towards my dream.”

Divyansh

“From working as an Embraer AME to stepping into the cockpit as a pilot, it has been an incredible transition. After being introduced to PilotsAssist, things moved surprisingly quickly and before I knew it, I was in Cape Town beginning my pilot training and turning a long-time dream into reality. The team has been exceptional throughout, often going far beyond what was expected of them. Truly grateful for the support.”

Aryan

“From wondering how and where to begin my pilot training to finally sitting inside an aircraft for my first flight, PilotsAssist guided me through every stage. Their support made the entire transition into aviation much smoother and more exciting. Thank you to the PilotsAssist team for helping me turn the plan into reality.”

Rajdeep

“All the way from Hong Kong to Cape Town, I needed someone who could help me make the transition smoothly and get everything moving. PilotsAssist helped me settle in, start my training and finally begin living the dream I had worked towards for so long. I will always be grateful to the PilotsAssist team for their support throughout this journey.”

Vikram

“From a midnight urgency to getting onboarded and starting my first flight within just a few days, the experience with PilotsAssist was incredible. The team responded quickly, handled everything efficiently and made sure my training journey started without unnecessary delays. Amazing team and an amazing experience.”

Shannon

“I was stuck in a phase where I simply wasn’t flying enough and felt like my training had stopped progressing. Once I was introduced to PilotsAssist, everything started moving again. They helped me switch schools, sort out my licensing requirements and connect with a training provider where I could finally fly consistently, sometimes every alternate day. Forever grateful to the team for helping me get back into the cockpit and move towards completing my flying.”

Vaishali

“My training had reached a point where progress had become extremely slow and I wasn’t getting the flying continuity I needed. PilotsAssist stepped in, understood the situation and helped reorganise my training journey. From helping with the transition to another training provider to assisting with the necessary licensing process, they helped me get back to regular flying and move forward again. I’m genuinely thankful for their support.”

Questions

Questions we answer every day

How are you different from a flight school?

We are an independent placement and support company.

Is there a fee to talk to you?

No. The first counselling call to check eligibility and map your route costs nothing, and there is no deposit to talk to us.

What exactly is Pilots Assist?

Pilots Assist (PA) is an independent placement and support company for people who want to become pilots. We work with independent partner flight schools in seven destinations and help you from your first counselling call until you hold your licence. The schools run the flight training; we guide, plan and support you around it.

Does it cost anything to talk to you?

No. Counselling is free and there is no deposit to talk to us. You can ask every question you have, compare destinations and see a plan before you decide anything.

What do you actually help with?

We help with school admission, education-loan applications, visa file preparation, and, for Indian students, the DGCA Computer Number and DGCA exams. We also help with arrival and accommodation, check in on your progress during training, help you apply to airlines after your licence, and help you get into OJT (on-the-job training) programmes where they are available. When you come home, we help you convert your foreign licence.

Who will I deal with at Pilots Assist?

You get one named advisor who stays with you from counselling to licence, so you never have to explain your story twice. Alongside your advisor, our cadet desk is there for students who are already training abroad.

Do you run the flight schools yourselves?

No. Our partner flight schools are independent and run their own training, aircraft and instructors under their country's aviation regulator. Our role is to match you with the right school, prepare your paperwork and stay beside you throughout.

How do you choose which flight school to suggest?

We properly vet every partner school before we suggest it, and then match it to you: your budget, your timeline and the country where you want to fly afterwards. You receive the school's ATO or Operating Certificate, and we show you how to check with the regulator that it is valid. Each country page names its regulator, and the choice is always yours.

Do we pay the school directly or pay you?

You pay the flight school directly, on the school's own easy payment plan; the school receives all training fees. Pilots Assist does not hold your training money. Your advisor walks you through each instalment before you pay it.
