What’s your opinion on Capt. Sahil Khurana, IFA, APC and Golden Epaulettes? Also pls share your recommendations

Hi guys Before we get into the update I need to address 1 thing that being it may seem like I’m spamming the sub with my updates, But in reality my posts are gaining traction within this flight school and actually making things more an inch, also it is to bring awareness to other potential students considering to join

Closing in a year since we Joined this flight school at Kurnool, we were excited to start this adventure little did we know we would be stuck in this hell hole, they assured us flying would start by November 2025 and well we’re close to November 2026 and there still seems no sign of flying yet they have the audacity to ask for Hostel and travel fees.

Stealing 25K a month,
As instated on my previous posts we’ve been paying 25K a month for practically nothing ( either sitting in the hostel or class self studying) 10K out of that 25K consists of travel expense going back and forth form the airport every day but the fact of the matter is we haven’t traveled to the airport not more than 4times in the whole year that too just to see what’s the status on the hangars construction, now that it’s been a year we have been asking the management to adjust that 10k over the course of the year into the next years hostel cycle as we haven’t traveled at all , but apparently the Chairman ( Chorman) has ordered that all student must pay the whole sum of 25K regardless of services availed,

Our chairman is a Billionaire form Kerala and you can look him up easily, how pathetic his existence must be to have that much money and not only cheat students who joined your institution but to also nickel and dime them for even that 10K a month, ( just as a fun fact whenever he visits our city office in Kurnool he takes a private jet and allegedly his 4 day visit alone he spends about 5-10 lakhs as he books out entire floors of the best hotel in town and sends his convoy of cars) there is a special place in hell for people like this and note u can’t shove your money up your ass when u enter Hell

They keep telling us flying in going to stat in x amount of days/weeks and the planes are coming Tommrow/day after but as days turn to weeks and weeks turn to months noting ever happens, fact of the matter is the hangar is still not approved by DGCA nor any of our planes with the same excuse of “ DGCA officials are coming this week “ going on for months at this point

Whenever we pressure them too much it’s the line “ u cause problems for the higher ups and they will cause problems for you” Thrown around as a threat, than of course there are those typical bad actors that keep kissing the higher ups asses (and maybe giving a few blowies) just for the hope of getting even more preferential treatment not realising his just cutting more holes into the Titanic hoping for a last minute life boat.

We want to take legal action but nothing can be done as we are too small and they are too big so all we can do is discourage future prospects of this flight school and not pay the fees for as long as possible

When we joined this institution they hand a long history as well as good rating and reviews, ( something tells me they are fake) it’s specifically Kurnool I wish I could say has this issue, but in reality Mysore ain’t any better as some people barely do 2 hours a month and most of the planes there are out of service, yet they advertise that they have 17+ planes in service in reality they only have 2-4 planes active In a given time and one of them is the Multi engine so it’s useless for newer students

Also for anyone at Orient Seeing This I am not shitting on you for no reason, if our flying we’re to start and it went fast and smooth you have my word I will make a positive post about this flight school
Meanwhile if any of us were harassed or threatened I will make more evidence which I hold, public and will call in media attention, I maybe not be a egotistical billionaire like our Chorman but I still have the resources to make things move

whats the best academy for these airline cadet entry processes?? i heard golden epaulettes is a scam and their reviews are all perfect 5 stars and stages reviews and i cant find a good reliable academy that specially trains you for the airline-cadet entry tests..

Hi everyone,

I’m planning my DGCA exams and wanted some advice from people who have already gone through them.

I’m considering giving RTR Part 1 and Air Regulations together in the regular attempt. Is this a good combination? and is the preparation time generally enough to prepare for both?

For those who have done these two together, how difficult was it and how much time did you spend preparing? Would you recommend doing them together or separately?

Also, which books or study materials would you recommend for RTR Part 1 and Air Regulations? I’d especially appreciate resources that are sufficient for the exam and suitable for first-attempt preparation.

Any advice on preparation strategy, books, or things I should be careful about would be really appreciated. Thanks!

i had my class 2 medicals and then had my lasik specs removal surgery its been 10 months since that .. now i have to get my class 1 medical can special medical be done along side it as well i wanna know how things go about around this thanks 🙏🏿

Just an update for anyone else waiting on Akasa’s cadet program.

I contacted SkyNex since I hadn’t received any response from Akasa, and they basically said the program received a shit ton of applications this time. They’re apparently considering candidates with academics on the higher end, along with people who already have some introduction to the ground school papers.

From what I understood, this is also what’s causing the delay. It seems like they’re prioritising the stronger profiles first, and the rest are kind of on standby.

So if someone from the first preference group drops out, doesn’t proceed, or something changes, the other candidates who haven’t received a rejection mail could potentially get contacted.

Basically, no mail ≠ rejection yet. More like being kept on standby while they work through the stronger profiles.

Thought I’d share since I’m sure there are quite a few people sitting around wondering what the hell is taking so long.

Anyone received rejection or confirmation mail?
