DGCA India Conversion Overview

The DGCA Commercial Pilot Track is engineered specifically for Indian aviation candidates seeking to convert their FAA airman certificate to a Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) India Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).

DGCA Rule 61 regulations require specific aeronautical hour distributions that differ from standard FAA Part 141 programs. Our syllabus guarantees that every hour logged in South Florida satisfies DGCA requirements down to the exact cross-country distances, night landings, instrument hours, and PIC qualifications.
