The following CPL courses are recommended for Sunrise Aviation students from India. Each course satisfies all of the DGCA requirements and uses aircraft recognized by that authority. All the courses include at least 250 total hours logged with over 200 hours in aircraft. Sunrise Aviation does not use “shared time” or “safety pilot” time to reach the required pilot-in-command (PIC) time in these courses. Even though this shared time can reduce costs, it is not recognized as PIC time in many countries including India. Since it also reduces the amount of “hands-on” flight time each student obtains, shared time also diminishes the flight skill obtained by each student priors to graduation.
Three options are listed below. The most economical choice is to choose the C152 for all single-engine airplane hours. However, students heavier than 90 kg will be more comfortable in a C172. Sunrise Aviation also offers the option of using the all-glass C172 SP with G-1000 avionics for all or part of your single-engine training. One of the most popular options is listed below and utilizes glass-cockpit aircraft for the instrument rating but the more economical C152 for all other single engine hours. We pride ourselves on being able to give students the equipment that meets the requirements needed by each student. If you need something not listed here, please ask and we will quote that for you.
Our required multi-engine flight hours are done in the Piper Seneca which is acceptable to the DGCA in India.
We have found that most of our students from India want complete packages with housing for the duration of the training estimated at six months. Therefore, at the bottom of each of the packages listed below you will find a price that includes 6 months of housing. Housing is quoted as single bed in double occupancy bedroom in a house in Ormond Beach, Florida near the airport. Houses included full kitchen and either private or shared bath. Packages that include Sunrise housing also include the cost of shuttle bus to and from the airport. For more information about Sunrise Aviation housing options click here.
If you already hold an FAA CPL with single-engine, multi-engine and instrument ratings, Sunrise Aviation offers an economical and quick way to complete your DGCA recency flight time. This Course includes all the required endorsements needed for the DGCA and can be completed in one week or less. The package price includes one week of housing in a Sunrise house or apartment with transportation to and from the airport provided each day.
