The License That Makes
You a Professional.
CPL is where your passion becomes your paycheck. OCFC GAA prepares you for it through DGCA, FAA, and EASA pathways.
What the Commercial Pilot License Means for Your Career?
The CPL is the license that lets you get paid to fly. Transport passengers, carry cargo, operate as a charter pilot — everything that makes aviation a career rather than a hobby requires a CPL.
30,000+
Commercial pilots India will need over the next decade. India's aviation market is one of the fastest-growing in the world — that's 30,000 job openings with your name on one of them.
The CPL course is approximately 2 months of flight training following PPL and IR completion, with 2–3 sessions per week.
