San Diego Flight Training International (SDFTI) has signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Apace Consultants to begin
training hundreds of student pilots from India and throughout
Southeast Asia. The MOU established a framework in which students
bound for India-based airlines will be referred to SDFTI for flight
training, using the school's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
approved commercial multiengine curriculum with additional elements
that meet specific requirements of India's Directorate General of
Civil Aviation (DGCA) commercial pilot license guidelines.
"Aviation in India is growing at a tremendous rate, but there are
not enough instructors or equipment for pilot trainees," said Phil
Thalheimer, President of SDFTI. "We are pleased to have the
opportunity to work with Apace Consultants. Our intent is to provide
the best personalized training for each and every aspiring pilot."
The SDFTI professional "DGCA" pilot program has been developed to
quickly and safely provide Indian students with all the necessary
training to earn US FAA Private, Instrument, Commercial, and
Multiengine certificates and ratings while meeting all Commercial DGCA
standards. SDFTI takes people with no flying experience through the
courses needed to operate as a commercially certified multiengine
professional aviator in six and a half months.
"SDFTI's reputation is enhanced by our San Diego location," added
Thalheimer. "It is recognized both for its superior living and
training environments. Combined these are known as the Southern
California Flying Experience. Students are exposed to virtually every
facet of professional aviation with a year-round warm and dry climate
to ensure course completion."
As a specialist in international pilot training, SDFTI has earned
a worldwide reputation for excellence. Only a few American flight
schools are authorized to accept foreign students. One aspect of
accepting international students is the necessity of obtaining a visa,
which requires in-depth background checks conducted by the U.S.
Transportation Security Administration. Prior to initiating flight
training, students also need obtain a first-class medical certificate
from an FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiner.
