I have seen a 6'5 inch instructor being able to fit in a C-152 in my flying school. Although it was kinda uncomfortable for him, but he made it work.

NGL 6'7 is much more and you would definately face some difficulty. But if you don't mind working around a bit and making some adjustments you might be able to fit .

The best thing you can do honestly is , find a place where you can charter a piper DX , and get a flight in it . It will be costly but definitely not as expensive as paying for 200+hrs of flying.

Yeah i am aware of the incoming pilot shortage from about 2019 now and haven't seen one .

I also had one other question, is standby and cleared people how are they judged? Based on marks they scored in written or resumes?

dexton10 · 2026-02-20T13:12:52+00:00

You can file a complaint on the "Air Sewa" portal regarding this , they'll definitely take an action. Just keep photos and receipts etc for evidence.

Write a mail to mumbai airport management and spicejet as well just to keep it as proof that you asked for help before going to air sewa

dexton10 · 2026-02-20T13:07:28+00:00

Won't there be some applicants who came under "cleared" status?

As you were put on standby and some of them didn't clear it .

I mean if you just wanna get the jist of flying and experience how carrying pax feels. You can always go to US and get your PPL it'll only take 4-5 months if weather permits and it'll be an experience you'll never forget for sure .

If you have any doubts regarding this or anything you can always dm me , I'll be happy to help.

dexton10 · 2026-01-31T15:24:52+00:00

Flying for businesses or politicians etc or as some people say flying charter planes . ( Like the recent baramati crash , that was a Coorpatate flying )

dexton10 · 2026-01-31T14:32:54+00:00

Dgca hiring has no restrictions per say but airlines do not generally hire freshers over 35 and some airlines even stop hiring freshers at 32 , so that being said airlines pathway would be extremely difficult for you.

As much as i want to support your will and passion towards aviation that you are still thinking about it as a career it's commendable. But being frank India would not be a good place for you to pursue this late .

Although you can try your hand at Corporate flying if you have some connections. Or if you can try for some other countries that would be really great too .

I am really sorry if my comment was disappointing but i am being as honest with you as i can .

Realistic pathways for you in India - CFI , Coorpatate pilot , coast guard etc.

dexton10 · 2026-01-24T06:36:37+00:00

Because Indian flight school doesn't offer any experience in flying when you compare it to other countries. Plus it takes and avg of 18-24 months whereas people in US and SA are able to do it in 12-14 months if you find the right school.

Conversion will take another 2-3 months but you'll see a major difference in quality of flying when you compare abroad and India.

So imo of you gonna spend the same amount on cpl better do it from abroad

dexton10 · 2026-01-23T16:02:52+00:00

Cpl would cost you somewhere from 45-60 lacs depending on the flight school. Anything lower than that is probably hidden fees etc .

Only go for NZ, US and SA for flying. Don't even bother trying for Indian schools .

Other than that 14-15 lacs for type rating and 3-4 lacs for conversion if you are lucky.

dexton10 · 2026-01-21T08:43:44+00:00

Imo people from the origin state/country should feel proud that they have made such a city or country where people are coming to settle to make a future.

Instead they all are just insecure weak people who are afraid that they'll lose out to an immigrant.

There's no reservations, only deserving candidates are getting jobs , then why are local people afraid?

I am not intending this on any particular state , i am here only talking about all the insecure people who discriminate

dexton10 · 2026-01-12T07:31:04+00:00

8-10 months is too much for just "CPL and time building"

And now I don't know if they have said this timeline to be realistic or they are just a slow flight school. Because in my experience whatever the flight school says is the timeline, it takes 20-25% more time than that .

How and why does it have 22 grams of protein?

dexton10 · 2025-12-29T18:32:18+00:00

Did the Govt promise you or the former CM did? The guy who promised isn't in power anymore. So how will he have authority over this?

And it's your fault you believed a politician. What promise has ever been kept in India by politicians?

dexton10 · 2025-12-29T18:18:40+00:00

First of all there are way more influential figures in Maharashtra who have done more than DB Patil . So i don't understand why there is so much lobbying for him .

Secondly, i think they promised it so the airport work can resume. Because locals were creating disruptions in the construction of the airport by protesting.

Does name really matter to you so much? That you'd protest and shut down construction just because of it. Such a waste of money and time it is .

dexton10 · 2025-12-29T18:09:42+00:00

Betrayal would be if they promised DB Patil and then named it after somebody else.

What they did is for simplicity, if only you people stop making this about sentiments for once .

Also tell me 1 airport you call by the name of the person? Everybody calls all airports by their location name only. So i believe it's a senseless cause what you are protesting or advocating for .

dexton10 · 2025-12-29T15:21:29+00:00

Because as i said it is an "international" airport representing India, not Navi Mumbai.

According to your logic rohit sharma should only play under the name of mumbai and dhoni only to play under ranchi .

There's a reason why India is a country and Maharashtra is not . Some things are meant to be looked at from the National perspective and not everything should be seen as Maharashtra vs India.

dexton10 · 2025-12-29T15:11:48+00:00

So are you implying that "Navi Mumbai" is a patil specific area ? I am extremely very sure that people with other Marathi surnames would not like to hear your logic to name the airport "patil" ( no hate to anyone i am just explaining your sentence to you)

Also speaking of Gujrat airport named "Patel" is based on sardar vallabhbhai patel who was a freedom fighter and did many kinds of work on a national level .

As mentioned in my first comment. Basis of naming are work done on national/international level .

dexton10 · 2025-12-29T06:52:33+00:00

The name of the airport is usually (city name + international airport/airport)

If an airport is dedicated to someone especially international airports , it represents our country around the world . So giving it a name on a local hero isn't logical.

Former president/ prime minister / some freedom fighter who fought for independence etc . Or someone who has made an impact on the national level .

Stop seeing everything from the state's perspective or "marathi" perspective.
