Ready Aviator vs Epilot
Checked against Epilot's own public pages on 8 September 2026.
Epilot publishes the largest DGCA bank in this comparison set and rents it monthly or annually, and we sell a much smaller bank once, so the choice is volume against depth and renting against buying.
Epilot publishes the largest DGCA bank here and rents it, monthly or annually, with a one-time figure beside each plan. We sell a window of access bought once, and a much smaller bank in which every question carries the working. The choice is whether you want the most questions or the most detail behind each, and whether to rent or buy.
Students who keep losing the same marks on the same calculations and need to see the working.
Students who want the largest pile of questions to drill and do not mind a plan that renews.
Every Epilot figure here was read on 8 September 2026 from their own public pages, fetched anonymously without requesting an OTP: their India home page, which carries their whole pricing block, their question bank page and their refund policy, linked below and stored with the date. Their bank sits behind an account, so beyond the one sample their homepage renders, none of their questions was read. Where a capability is not described anywhere we could reach, the cell reads "Not published on their site (checked 8 September 2026)" rather than saying they do not have it.
Ours is read live. Theirs is quoted from the pages above.
| Ready Aviator | Epilot | |
|---|---|---|
| Questions in the bank | 14,550 across 363 chapters, counted at build time | Their hero says "22,080 exam-grade questions across 6 subjects"; their question bank page says "15,306 +". Both were printed on the same day, so we quote both[1] |

| Worked step by step solutions | Behind every question: the formula named, the numbers substituted line by line, each wrong option explained | "Instant explanations": the correct answer with a worked explanation the moment you respond. The bank is behind an account, so what one contains is not something we can check[1] |
| Animated solutions | On the Air Navigation calculation chapters, an animation that draws the problem while it solves it | Not published on their site (checked 8 September 2026) |
| Structured course lessons | The Air Navigation course, narrated and animated, free with an account | Their ground school block is headed "In build": "Not ready yet, and we'd rather say so than sell you a placeholder"[1] |

| DGCA past papers | 51 sittings, each its own page, by subject, date and attempt type | The bank covers the syllabus chapter by chapter "including real previous exam papers". No sittings are listed anywhere we could reach[2] |
| Full length mock tests and analytics | Timed, per subject, paid. The report names the chapters you lost marks in | Pro lists full timed mock exams, "Jump-freeze exam mechanics" and advanced analytics. Exam Ready returns missed questions on a spaced schedule with reworded variants[1] |

Ours comes from the catalog the checkout charges from.
| Plan | Price | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| Ready Aviator: Prep · 1 month | ₹1,499 (₹1,499 a month) | One month of every worked solution and animation, mock tests, past papers under the clock, notes and cheatsheets. |

| Epilot: Basic, subscription | Rs 199 a month, or Rs 1,999 a year[1] | All subjects, the full bank, attempt history and analytics. A one-time Rs 1,499 sits beside it. |

The two sides of this table are not the same unit and it matters. Theirs are subscriptions, billed monthly or yearly until you cancel, and cancelling takes effect at the end of the period already paid for. Ours are bought once and stop by themselves, with no card kept. Their one-time figures, Rs 1,499 and Rs 4,999, are the ones to set against ours. Every figure is quoted from the page linked beside it, read on 8 September 2026. Both sides refund in full within seven days, theirs on first purchases only.
Every question carries a solution that names the formula, substitutes the numbers a line at a time, and explains each wrong option as the mistake a real student makes. That is why our bank is smaller: the working for one chapter takes a day, a thousand more questions without it takes an afternoon.
On the Air Navigation calculation chapters the solution runs as an animation: the aircraft, the track, the wind and the station drawn to that question's numbers, moving as the working moves.
The Air Navigation course is finished and free with an account: narrated lessons that demonstrate the phenomenon before naming it, with the animation running while the teacher talks.
The bank they publish is far larger than ours
Their hero states 22,080 and their question bank page 15,306, and either is a great deal more than we hold. Air Navigation alone is listed at 5,765, which is more than our whole bank. If volume is what you are shopping for, they have it.
A cheaper way in, if a subscription suits you
Basic at Rs 199 for a month is the lowest entry price here and it opens the full bank. A student with one paper four weeks away can pay, sit it and cancel for less than any plan we sell.
A mastery system built around your mistakes
Their Exam Ready programmes work the bank topic by topic, returning every missed question on a spaced schedule and showing live mastery. Our practice does no spaced repetition, so if drilling to retention is how you study that is a real gap.
If one of these is you, buy theirs.
Choose Epilot if volume is what you need. They publish between fifteen and twenty-two thousand questions depending which page you read, and we publish a fraction of that. If you want to drill until the patterns are automatic, more questions is the right answer.
Choose Epilot if a monthly subscription fits your money better than one payment. Basic at Rs 199 for a single month is less than any plan we sell, and if your paper is four weeks away that may decide it.
Choose Epilot if spaced repetition is how you learn. Their Exam Ready system returns every missed question on a schedule. We do not, and it is not on this year's list.
Choose Epilot if you want Meteorology, Air Regulations, Technical General and Performance at the depth we give Air Navigation. Ours are deepest there by a distance.
Do not choose either of us on the headline count. Open five free questions on each site and read what sits under the answer.
You can check every claim here without registering. Five questions of every chapter are readable with no account and no card, and a free account opens whole chapters with their solutions.
No account for the samples. A free account opens whole chapters and the Air Navigation course.
How many questions does Epilot have?
They print three figures on their own site: 22,080 in the homepage hero, 25,000+ further down the same page, and 15,306+ on the question bank page, all read on 8 September 2026. We quote two of them above and take no view on which is right.
Is Epilot a subscription?
Their Basic and Pro plans renew until cancelled, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period with no partial refund. Their block also offers a one-time figure beside each. Ours are one-time, with nothing to cancel.
Does Epilot have a DGCA course?
Their own block says the courses are "In build" and will be included in an existing plan when ready. Our Air Navigation course is finished, narrated and free with an account. The other subjects are not built on our side either.
