San Diego Flight Training School signs MOU to train India pilots

“San Diego Flight Training International (SDFTI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Apace Consultants to begin training hundreds of student pilots from India and throughout Southeast Asia. The MOU established a framework in which students bound for India-based airlines will be referred to SDFTI for flight training, using the school’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved commercial multiengine curriculum with additional elements that meet specific requirements of India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) commercial pilot license guidelines. ‘Aviation in India is growing at a tremendous rate, but there are not enough instructors or equipment for pilot trainees,’ said Phil Thalheimer, President of SDFTI. ‘We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Apace Consultants. Our intent is to provide the best personalized training for each and every aspiring pilot.’”
