Hey everyone,
Over the last 3 months, I've built AviationGrade (aviationgrade.in), a DGCA exam prep site with chapter-wise practice and full mock tests, sourced from the actual Oxford ATPL books (Meteorology, Technical General, and Radio Navigation so far, with General Navigation coming next).
It's completely free for 1 week and currently has over 5000 questions.
What's on it right now:
- Chapter-by-chapter practice across Meteorology, Technical General, and Radio Navigation — pick a topic, work through it at your own pace, every question explained
- Full-length mock exams in the same pattern as the real DGCA exam - 100 questions, timed, same result format
- Everything sourced and cross-checked against the Oxford ATPL books, not scraped from random forums
How access works: Every account gets 7 days completely free the moment you sign up, no card, nothing, full access to every chapter and every mock test. After that first week, it's ₹100 to unlock another full month.
I want to be upfront about why there's a fee at all, because I know free-vs-paid is always a fair question on posts like this. I'm not a developer and had zero web development experience before this. Everything on the site, I learned and built from scratch over the last 3 months, including actual money out of my own pocket for hosting, domain, tools, and other bits I had no idea I'd even need going in. ₹100 for a month is genuinely just meant to keep the thing alive and let me keep adding to it, not to make this some big money-making thing. If cost is a real barrier for you, message me, I'd rather someone actually get to use it than not.
The bigger reason I'm posting this here, though, is to actually be useful to people in this community, and the only way I know if it is, is if you tell me. If something's wrong, confusing, missing, or just annoying to use, I want to hear it. If a question has an error in it, tell me, and I'll fix it. This is genuinely still a work in progress and I'd rather build it with people who are actually going through CPL/ATPL right now than guess at what you need.
Would really appreciate anyone willing to try it out and drop honest feedback, good or bad. Thanks for reading this far.
