What is DGCA? Why Every Aspiring Pilot in India Should Know This

The DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) is India’s top aviation regulatory body, operating under the Ministry of Civil Aviation. It oversees all aspects of civil aviation safety, including pilot licensing, flight schools (FTOs), aircraft maintenance, airworthiness, and airline regulations.

For any aviation professional in India, the DGCA is the ultimate authority. Understanding their regulations—from the Aircraft Act of 1934 to the latest CARs (Civil Aviation Requirements)—is essential for a safe and legal career.

All training at IIA Gurgaon and Jet Serve is strictly aligned with DGCA standards. We ensure that our students are not only technically proficient but also fully compliant with the national regulatory framework.
