Yes, you have to pass the DCGA CPL theory exams before starting flight training. If you have not completed these exams, or are in the process of doing so, don’t worry – you are still eligible to apply. If your application is successful and you pass the selection process, we will offer you a place on the training programme and allow you time to complete your DCGA CPL theory exams with our SKYWORX India DCGA Distance Learning Programme before you begin flight training. 

The advantage having completed the DGCA 3 exams (Navigation, Meteorology & Air Regulations) and having the Radio Telephone licence is that you can commence flight training in the next available course which we schedule every month.
