Tell us where you are. We'll tell you what to do next — eligibility, documents, medical, DGCA exams, cost, flight schools and the airline pathway, in one place.
Scroll down to take the aircraft apart and back up to put it together. Every part is cut from your overhead photo and moves on its own, tied exactly to your scroll position. Grey or white areas are fills where a part was hidden under another in the photo.
Every component is its own layer: an outer group that the rig moves, holding an inner .art group with the drawing. The motion lives in one config object keyed by part name, so replacing the art never touches the animation.
PARTS list. To use final artwork, replace that part's image with a new one of the same size and position.MOTION object: stops of scroll progress (0 to 1) and values. Artwork changes never touch it.Each one answers a question you'll actually ask, in the order you'll actually ask it.

These are the three routes most aspiring pilots from India actually compare. None of these is universally "best" — cost, timeline, and outcome depend heavily on your own finances, age, and target airline. Use the linked tools for a real, personalised comparison rather than treating this as a ranking.
Some airlines (in India and abroad) run cadet programs offering a conditional path toward a First Officer seat after training and type rating, subject to the airline's own selection criteria and market conditions at the time you finish.
See cadet program requirementsTraining in the US, South Africa, or similar can offer more flying days per month due to weather, then converting the licence to a DGCA CPL/IR back in India. Conversion requirements and recent processing times vary — verify current rules directly with DGCA before committing.
Compare global CPL routesTraining entirely within India end-to-end, with no licence conversion step. Simpler logistically, though often a longer calendar timeline than international routes due to weather and aircraft/instructor availability at Indian FTOs.
Browse DGCA-ranked schoolsMost aspiring pilots lose time and money to the same problem: nobody tells them, plainly, what applies to them — their age, their marks, their budget, their country. ARYA exists to close that gap with sourced, dated, honest guidance.
Start your roadmapEvery regulatory claim carries a source and a last-verified date. Where we're not certain, we say so — "official confirmation required" — rather than guess.
No "cheapest CPL," no "guaranteed airline job." Just realistic pathways, clearly labelled as estimates where they are estimates.
