DGCA introduces a ranking system for pilot training schools, based on safety, compliance, school performance, and other aspects.
Schools scoring over 85% will receive an A++ rank, those with 70-85% will get an A rank, while schools below 50% will be ranked as B with a notice for self-analysis.
The ranking system aims to enhance transparency, enforce regulatory compliance, and provide guidance to student pilots in selecting quality institutions.
However, some training schools express dissatisfaction with the DGCA's move, suggesting the focus should be on regulatory implementation rather than ranking by the regulator.
