Spotlight on Indian Flight Students
Saluting Epic Students from India
Epic Flight Academy has trained thousands of pilots from around the world. This month, we’d like to feature some of our success stories from students who came all the way from India to train at Epic. Our Indian Pilot Program has proven successful for hundreds of Indian students. With 50,000 pilots needed in India by 2020, this is the perfect time to pursue a career in aviation. If you live in India and are looking for the right flight training program for you, read on. These success stories are inspiring, and you can contact us with questions. The aviation industry in India has never before offered such career opportunities.
Mayank Goyal
Meet Mayank Goyal who flew his first solo flight at Epic Flight Academy in February 2008. The first solo is a major milestone for student pilots who have completed ground school and started one-on-one training with their flight instructor.
One month after his first solo, Mayank passed his check-ride with an FAA examiner. Therefore, he quickly earned his private pilot license (PPL). Mayank was a hard-working student who immediately began training for his instrument rating, which he earned in July 2008. And just four months later, he earned his commercial multi-engine rating. Mayank continued to build hours while employed as a commercial pilot, becoming an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) in August 2014.
Mayank is currently an airline pilot with Qatar Airways. We are extremely proud of his dedication and commitment to flying and proud that he is an alumni of Epic Flight Academy.
Tejas Dasai
Meet Tejas Dasai, another student from India who trained at Epic and achieved his dream of becoming an airline pilot. Tejas earned his PPL in January 2007 and his IR in April 2007.
After completing his commercial multi-engine in July 2007, he began his commercial pilot career and became an Airline Transport Pilot in April 2012. Tejas is certified to fly the B737-800NG. That’s a lot of airplane and a long way from the Cessna 172 and PA-44 he trained in during his time at Epic.
We are proud of this talented pilot who now flies as a Captain for Jet Airways. Tejas’s hard work and determination paid off, and we wish him blue skies all the way!
Samridhi Singh
These seasoned pilots are just two examples of students from India whose flight training at Epic launched their careers, but there are many others, such as Samridhi Singh. Samridhi flew her first solo in April 2018 and earned her Private Pilot License in August 2018. By April 2019, she had passed her commercial pilot checkride!
There are many other current student pilots from India who are working hard to become professional pilots. Check out Aman Bharadwaj who earned his PPL in December 2018 and his CPL in May 2019. Meet Komalben Patel who earned her Instrument Rating in July 2020. Also, meet Pranay Gopinath, who earned his PPL in October 2018 and his Commercial in May 2019.
These are just a few examples of the many dedicated flight students from India who chose Epic Flight Academy to complete their flight training. We love spotlighting our students’ achievements and accomplishments!
