About PilotsAssist

The smarter route to the cockpit. 

We are a pilot training and cadet support company. We train Indian and international cadets with vetted flight schools in four regions, fund the journey and stay with them until a DGCA licence is in their hand.

Why we exist

Too many Indian cadets are sold a course, not a career. 

  • Schools chosen on aircraft availability and completion rates, not commission
  • Landed cost sheets that include living, visa, insurance and conversion
  • Our own staff in every training region, not local agents
  • Financing arranged before the first deposit, not after
  • DGCA conversion planned while you are still flying abroad
  • Support that continues into type rating and airline applications

FAQ

Questions we answer every day. 

Who is PilotsAssist and how are you different from a flight school?

+

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.

What does 24×7 student assistance actually cover?

+

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.

Can I get a loan for pilot training?

+

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.

How long does training abroad take?

+

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.

Will my foreign licence work in India?

+

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.

Do you help with type ratings and airline placement?

+

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.
