Today, flying is both a science and an art, a profession that must be studied in a
professional academy.
Till 1985 there was no school in India to provide the finely honed flying skills
and the technical experience required by modern pilots. The Indira Gandhi
Rashtriya Uran Akademi was created to cater to this need.
A finely focussed school, the Akademi trains cadets up to the level where they are
eligible for an Indian Commercial Pilots� Licence.
After all, in an institution which seeks to produce the best pilots in the world,
the sky is the limit.
Any other information required by the public may be sought from the Director.

CPL COURSE�STAGE 1
The first stage of the CPL course takes place on the Trinidad TB-20, a single
piston engine, variable pitch, retractable under-carriage aircraft, equipped with
advanced instruments. 655 hours of Ground Subjects Training firms up the basic
knowledge on aviation subjects.
The second part of the course is on the King Air C-90A, a Twin-engined, turbo-prop
aircraft.
In both Stage I and Stage II, Simulator training is imparted before commencing
flights, as well as concurrently with flying training. Experience across the world
suggests that this is the ideal method.
IN THE AIR
Fursatganj, the home of the Akademi, meets every criterion for an aviation
institute. It enjoys clear, non-foggy weather through most of the year. Equally
important, it is away from the crowded skies used by regular commercial aircraft.
All our chosen aircraft-the Kind Air C-90A, the Trinidad TB-20, and the Robinson
R-22B are ideally suited for both cross-country flying and instrument flying.
Presently there are two King Air C-90A, 12 Trinidad TB-20 and two Robinson R-22B
Helicopter.
Solo flights are encouraged especially in the more advanced stages of the course.
Students thus obtain an all around training in every fact of modern aeroplane
technology including multiengine endorsement and an instrument rating.
In keeping with the do it yourself spirit of the pioneering aviators, the Indira
Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi insists on training in every aspect of aviation.
Students are fully trained in traffic ATS control, basic meteorology radio,
navigation, and maintenance support services at the Akademi�s own spacious and
superbly equipped workshop.
The Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi also boasts of a fine library, with books
offering comprehensive information on every aspect of aviation.

The course of study offered by the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi is
rigorous even by global standards.
The discipline demanded by the Academia as a matter of course during teach hours
extends to off duty hours too.
However, we do make provision, to make our students feel at home, not least our
foreign students.
Since all courses are residential, the Akademi has a modern 80 room hostel. This
ensures that each student has a large degree of privacy with a room of his/her
own.
Life at the Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi is taught, but several of our
alumni can testify that it is extremely fulfilling.
