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
Mayank Goyal trained at Epic and is now an airline pilot with Qatar Airways.
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
Tejas Desai trained at Epic and is now a Captain for Jet Airways.
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
Samridhi Singh is a current student pilot at Epic.
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!

Do you offer a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) program recognized by DGCA?
What types of aircraft do you use for training? Are they well-maintained and regularly serviced?
What is the ratio of instructor-to-student for flight training? Do I get enough one-on-one time with instructors?
Hello, I hope this correspondence finds you in good spirits. Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Nihal Ismail, from Kochi, India. I am an aspiring aviator with a steadfast passion for flying. With a deep-seated commitment to realising my ambitions in aviation, I have recently completed my DGCA papers and secured my Class 1 medical certification here in India. In light of my aspirations, I am writing to inquire about the Commercial Pilot License (CPL) training program with Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) offered at your esteemed flight school. After extensive research and careful consideration, I have identified your institution as a beacon of excellence in aviation education, and I am eager to explore the opportunities it presents. As I embark on this journey towards acquiring my CPL, with the ultimate goal of obtaining an FAA CPL and converting it into a DGCA CPL upon my return to India, I seek clarity on several crucial aspects of your training program. Foremost among my inquiries is a comprehensive understanding of the financial commitments associated with the CPL training. I would greatly appreciate detailed information regarding the fee structure, encompassing all tuition and additional costs that may arise throughout the course duration. Additionally, could you please provide insights into the payment structure? Specifically, I am interested to know whether the fees are payable in full upfront or if there are alternative payment options available. Moreover, having completed my DGCA papers and obtained my Class 1 medical certification, I am well-prepared to undertake the rigours of the CPL flying training program. Given my proficiency and dedication, I am particularly interested in the duration of the course. While I value thorough training, I also prioritise efficiency and would prefer a program that optimizes time without compromising on the quality of instruction. What would be the optimal way I can complete the course at the earliest without compromising quality or at increased expenses? In addition to the training program itself, I am curious about the accommodation arrangements available for students. Could you kindly provide insights into whether accommodation options are offered on or off campus? Furthermore, any guidance or resources available for researching accommodation would be immensely beneficial. Lastly, I would like to inquire if it is possible to join the school at any time after securing my visa. Flexibility in enrollment timing would be advantageous for planning my transition to your institution. It would be great if you can provide me with an outline of the procedure from now until enrolling in your school. I must commend the wealth of information available on your website, which includes comprehensive details about aircraft numbers, esteemed instructors, and glowing testimonials from past students. This transparent portrayal of your institution's offerings has further solidified my interest and confidence in your flight school. In conclusion, I am genuinely excited about the prospect of enrolling in your CPL training program and am eager to commence this transformative journey in aviation education. Your prompt and informative response to my inquiries will play a pivotal role in guiding my decision-making process. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I eagerly anticipate hearing from you soon. Warm regards, Nihal Ismail

I was planning to take CPL course, but when I saw this course on professional course I got interested in it. May I know the fee details for the professional course, and also do I need to do a conversion of CPL for meeting the DGCA requirements in India, or am I allowed to work in the USA?
