Richly deserved IMO. Never once have I travelled by an Indigo flight which took off & landed on schedule ever.

@COLDHEARTED AVIATOR are you ex military or a civilian pilot. Reason I'm asking is I always wanted to have CPL, just for fun. I always wanted to fly helicopters and Cessna's on my own but what I've heard and saw about the Indian aviation colleges doesn't paint a very scene. Last year a news came out regarding probably the "BEST" Indian aviation school that its director used to take bribes and would in turn mark some extra hours on students ranks even though they didn't fly. What's your opinion on Indian aviation schools ?

Hi,

I am a Civil Pilot.

Regarding Indian schools..most are that way only.

IGRUA,Chimes which is run by Punj Lloyd and NFTI Gondia are the ones which are run clean.

You need not do CPL for flying as a hobby..You can do PPL instead.

A good friend of mine who owns a 7-800 crore business did his PPL instead in Chimes and was happy with their resources and facilities.

Modi even went on the video conference with Macron when Air India placed the order. But didn't even ask for a finish line.

Om Shanti for the souls.
Now, what is wrong here, too many boeing planes coming down, not so good sign.

Approach speed seems way too high for an attempted belly landing. Size of the fireball also suggests significant amount of fuel still in the tanks. Did the pilots not dump it or burn up in a holding pattern?

IMO this "Air Taxi" if it succeeds, would just be another form of helicopter service with multiple rotors. There have been many videos globally.
> Manned or unmanned, the fear of crashing down is always there.
> Whether it is system of 4/6/8 rotors, if 1 rotor fails due to internal reason or bird strike, etc then the other side also has to shut down to maintain balance & other rotors need to speed up to maintain lift.
> Maintaining a strict route in air is another huge challenge, that too with collision avoidance, especially in adverse weather conditions.
> Dedicated bus & Metro-rail service are still safer & more economical.

Why are these Commercial Pilot License programs so costly in first place?​

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

Why are these Commercial Pilot License programs so costly in first place?​

Due to fuel cost but still these are 3 times because companies like Indigo trap young people by giving job guarantee in this program.
