Let’s be honest, becoming a pilot in India is not a piece of cake. Yes, you read it right.
As an experienced pilot trainer, we have seen many students fail in achieving their pilot license. We are saying this to you because we don’t want you to be misinformed about this career path.
At Vayusa Aviation, we believe in motivating students and things. We train hundreds of aspiring aviators every year. And trust us, most of them say that clearing the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) theory exam is the toughest part. That’s why we have decided to discuss the top mistakes DGCA students make & how to avoid them.
Top Mistakes DGCA Students Make & How to Avoid Them
People consider us the best flying Institute in Bihar because we know how to help students pass the DGCA exam on their first attempt. So, do you want to be one of those students? Oh come on, don’t be shy, we know that you want that too.
Here are the mistakes you must avoid to clear the DGCA exam:
#1. Treating DGCA Exams Like School/College Exams
The eligibility to become a pilot in India is after completing 12th with a science background. And let’s be realistic, school students are not well-prepared to pass the premium-level DGCA exam. If you have just completed 12th, we request that you not treat the DGCA exam like your school exam.
How to Avoid?
According to us, one of the best tips to pass the DGCA exams is to treat the exam like your life depends on it. You should be in a full do-or-die situation. Aspiring aviators should take the exam seriously. At our institute, we advise our students to focus on conceptual clarity. This is because we have seen students who just gulp down the topics are destined to fail.
#2. Relying on Rote Memorization Over Understanding
“Q no 1. What is the definition of?”. In your school exam, you must have seen this type of question. That’s why we have seen many students memorizing formulas and definitions without understanding the concepts. Well, let us tell you that this trick may help you get marks in school, but in DGCA exams, it will not come in very handy.
How to Avoid?
Hear this advice carefully. If you wish to crack the DGCA exam, try to understand the concept rather than memorizing it. Believe us, it’s one of the most crucial advice that we can give you to crack the exam. And not only us, every other pilot trainer will also advise you to cultivate a deep understanding. Many students at VayuSa do conceptual discussions with us and other trainers to know the ins and outs of particular topics.
#3. Studying Without a Plan or Structure
We remember once we had a very hardworking student at our institute, who was consistent and committed to cracking the exam. His dedication used to inspire a sense of competition among his peers.
Honestly speaking, we also thought that this particular student was going to crack the exam on the first attempt. But here comes the funny part: he failed the exam drastically. After talking to him, we got to know that he studied without a plan or structure.
How to Avoid?
If you ask us what the single most important thing is to crack to DCGA exam. Then, as experienced pilot trainers, we’ll tell you that having a structured study plan is the key. At VayuSa, we provide pilot training in Patna, which focuses on guiding students with proper study and training plans. Also, we request our students not to open books at random and study based on what they feel like.
#4. Not Giving Every Subject Equal Attention
We have been in the aviation training industry for a while. Over the years, we have learn many things about the DGCA exam. To crack this exam, our students have to study multiple subjects. AIR regulations are one such subject that becomes the reason for many students’ failure. We are not joking here. This has happened to many students because they took it very lightly.
How to Avoid?
We understand that the subject, air regulation, is the easiest one. But it doesn’t mean you can avoid it completely. Remember that “confidence is a fine trait. Overconfidence isn’t”. So, don’t be overconfident and give the subject the importance it deserves. We suggest our students revise the AIR regs 2-3 times before the exam.
#5. Choosing the wrong training school
You might have also seen that, lately, multiple aviation academies have opened in our city. This creates confusion in students while choosing a good pilot training school. And we don’t think we have to explain to you why choosing a good pilot training school is important for the DGCA exam. We ourselves have come in contact with numerous students who wasted years of their lives because of choosing the wrong training school.
