Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between CPL and PPL?
PPL (Private Pilot License) allows you to fly privately, non-commercially. CPL (Commercial Pilot License) qualifies you to fly for hire or reward — essential for an airline career. Most Indian students target CPL, with PPL being a mandatory step in the pathway.
How long does the full CPL program take in New Zealand?
A complete CPL program typically takes 18–24 months. The exact duration depends on weather, flight scheduling, and individual progress. Most students complete it in around 20 months when flying consistently.
Is a CAA NZ license valid in India?
Yes. CAA NZ licenses are ICAO compliant and can be converted to DGCA India CPL. Most Indian airlines accept NZ-trained pilots. The conversion process involves appearing for DGCA India examinations upon return.
What is the eligibility for aviation training abroad?
Typically: Class 1 or Class 2 medical fitness, minimum 10+2 with Physics & Maths, English proficiency (basic for NZ), and age 17+. No NEET or competitive examination required for aviation. Contact us for specific school requirements.
Can I get a job after CPL in New Zealand?
Typically: Class 1 or Class 2 medical fitness, minimum 10+2 with Physics & Maths, English proficiency (basic for NZ), and age 17+. No NEET or competitive examination required for aviation. Contact us for specific school requirements.
