Govt. Flying Training School (Bangalore)

A Karnataka government school the regulator lists with an approval that had already run out on the list's own date, and a remark saying it is not operating.

The Government Flying Training School at Bangalore is the one organisation in this directory whose row on the regulator's own list contradicts itself. The approval printed against it ran out more than two years before the date the list is current to, and the remarks column beside it says the school is presently not operating.

We do not correct that. The list is transcribed as it was published, the expiry stands where the regulator printed it, and the remark stands beside it, because a transcription that quietly tidied its source would stop being a transcription. The directory index says the same thing in its own words.

The regulator prints no website for this school, so there is nothing of its own to read: no courses, no fees, no intake. What it does print is a Bangalore base, a small fleet including one twin, and an email address at a free provider as the only contact.

The regulator prints approval 07/2016 against this organisation, records its ownership as State Govt, and gives the approval as valid to 14 December 2023, a date that had already passed on the day the regulator published the list carrying it.

The regulator prints a remark against this organisation on its own list, and it is reproduced here exactly as printed rather than tidied up: Presently non-operational Para 17.4 of CAR Section 7 Series D Part I refers

The regulator's list prints no website for this organisation, so there was no site of its own to read on 8 September 2026.

Where the regulator ranks it

DGCA ranking, 1 April 2026 edition: not ranked in the 1 April 2026 edition. The regulator's own reason, printed against its name, is: FTO Approval not valid as on 28.02.2026.

The regulator publishes a letter and a serial number and no score at all, so there is nothing behind the letter to inspect and nothing here to rank schools against each other by. The bands the letters come from, and how many organisations sit in each on this edition, are set out on the flying schools in India index.

How far you can trust each number below

Published
Printed on the operator's or the regulator's own page.
Reported
From a brochure, an aggregator or a cadet, not from the operator's own price list.
Estimated
A range built up from parts, not lifted whole from any one source.
Undisclosed
No public number exists. We say so rather than filling the gap.

What it charges

We hold no figure for this school that we would stand behind, so this page gives you none. Its fee is Not publishedby this organisation anywhere, checked 8 September 2026

How you get in

This organisation publishes no admission process of its own that we could read on 8 September 2026, so the only route in is whatever the contact the regulator prints leads to.

What this school does not publish

The regulator's list prints no website for this organisation, so there is no site of its own to check (checked 8 September 2026).

There is no school website on the regulator's list, so no fee, course list, intake or hourly rate is published anywhere we can cite.

Neither the school nor the regulator publishes anything about when the approval might be renewed or when training might resume.

Where this sits in the wider cost

Nothing above is the whole cost of becoming a pilot. Our pilot training cost in India page has the full stack from the medicals to the type rating, and CPL course fees in India puts this school's licence figure next to the rest of the market.

Common questions

Can I train at the Government Flying Training School in Bangalore?

The regulator's own list says the school is presently not operating and prints an approval that had already expired on the list's date. On both counts the answer from the published record is no, and no source of the school's own exists to say otherwise.

Why is it still on the approved list then?

Because that is how the regulator published it. This directory transcribes the list rather than editing it, so an expired approval and a not operating remark both stay exactly where they were printed, and the contradiction is stated rather than smoothed over.

Why is it not ranked?

The ranking exercise excludes an organisation whose approval was not valid at the assessment cut-off, and that is the reason printed against this school on both editions we hold.
