Welcome to this state-of-the-art, joint Indian-American international academic and pilot training program, carefully supervised, administered, and curated by a team of highly trained and experienced academic and aviation professionals from both India and the United States. The program reflects the combined strengths of GD Goenka University, India and Raich Aerospace Group LLC, United States (registered trade-mark Aerocadet), offering students an unparalleled pathway to global aerospace and aviation careers.

Program objectives and long-term goals

For ambitious students seeking an international career in aerospace and aviation, the Global Aerospace Engineering and Aviation Leadership Pathway (GAEALP) offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity. This integrated program begins with a fully accredited Bachelor of Technology in Aerospace Engineering (major) with a minor in Aviation from a top Indian university, providing a strong academic foundation in aerodynamics, propulsion, and systems design.

Graduates then receive a U.S.-equivalent Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering through a NACES-approved evaluation, making their degree fully recognized in the United States and other international markets. From there, students enter a robust FAA-approved flight training program in the U.S., earning key certifications including PPL, CPL, IR, and CFI—qualifications that meet ICAO global standards.

To build real-world experience, the program includes extensive internship opportunities with flight schools and air charter operators across the United States and the Caribbean. These placements help students log hours and gain operational experience as flight instructors or charter co-pilots.

The final phase of the program focuses on long-term career establishment in the United States. Graduates receive expert support in applying for the EB1A Extraordinary Ability visa, including help with portfolio building, legal guidance, and job placement strategies—paving the way to a U.S. green card and employment in the aerospace sector.

This pathway uniquely combines academic rigor, professional pilot training, international work experience, and U.S. immigration support into a single, career-defining opportunity for future aerospace leaders.

Achieve a Prestigious International Airline Pilot Career

The BSC-FPAP-IND program stands out due to its comprehensive approach to aviation training, offering a full Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), a qualification that requires a minimum of 1,500 flight hours. Few schools provide this opportunity. Our FAA-accredited academy has special permission to issue F-1 academic visas, allowing students to gain practical experience as certified flight instructors (CFI) after completing their Commercial Pilot License (CPL). This experience helps students qualify for the unrestricted ATPL, highly valued by airlines. Additionally, graduates benefit from U.S. and international pilot internships, alongside a guaranteed airline placement program.

The program’s structure is designed to equip students with not only the technical skills but also the real-world experience that airlines look for during recruitment. With the F-1 visa, students can take advantage of internships to build crucial flight hours. Unlike programs offering "Frozen" or "Restricted" ATPLs, which are essentially forms of basic Commercial Pilot Licenses (CPLs), the BSC-FPAP-IND delivers a full, unrestricted ATPL—exactly what global airlines expect from top candidates at recruitment events and career fairs.

Moreover, through partnerships with advanced pilot internship providers, graduates can pursue U.S. and international internships to broaden their aeronautical experience, making them more competitive in the airline job market. The comprehensive airline placement program supports students in securing positions with leading airlines in the United States, India and regions like the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Central America, and Europe, ensuring they are well-positioned for long-term career success in aviation.

This program is structured in such a way that every segment leads our students to the ultimate goal: employment in the l;eading airlines. The program is divided into the following stages:

Total approximate duration of the program is four (4) years for degree study at GD Goenka university in India, 1 year for pilot licensing in Florida, 1.5 years for pilot internship to build 1500 hours of flight time and get full unrestricted FAA ATPL license, and a variable time-frame for various career development pathays, including advanced commercial pilot internship with in the Caribbean, flyDubai Pathway program or EB1-A enhanced application option for the U.S. airline employment opportunities.

Detailed explanation of the program outline and its segments:

To enroll in the B.Tech Aerospace Engineering program at GD Goenka University, candidates must have completed their 10+2 education with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, along with one additional subject such as Chemistry, Computer Science, or Electronics, and must have achieved a minimum of 50% aggregate marks in these core subjects. Alternatively, candidates holding a three-year diploma in engineering with at least 50% marks are also eligible for admission.

The admission process begins with completing the online application form, which can be accessed at applications.gdgoenkauniversity.com. Applicants may be required to take the university’s entrance exam, the Goenka Aptitude Test for Admission (GATA), unless they can present valid JEE Main or CUET scores. Shortlisted candidates are invited for a personal interview to assess their suitability for the program.

Following a successful interview, candidates will receive a provisional admission letter. To confirm enrollment, they must pay the admission fee within the specified deadline and complete the final registration, which includes document verification. The current fee for the first year is ₹3,70,000, and ₹3,20,000 for each subsequent academic year, though this is subject to change.

For a direct application to the aerospace program, prospective students can visit aerospace.gdgoenka-university.com/apply-now. All candidates are advised to prepare academic transcripts, identification documents, and photographs in advance to facilitate a smooth application and enrollment process.

The Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Aerospace Engineering at GD Goenka University is a comprehensive four-year undergraduate program designed to equip students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of aerospace engineering. The curriculum is structured over eight semesters, integrating core engineering principles with specialized aerospace subjects to prepare students for the dynamic aerospace industry.

In the initial two years, students focus on foundational courses such as Mathematics, Physics, and introductory engineering subjects, alongside basic aerospace topics like aerodynamics and propulsion systems. This phase lays the groundwork for understanding complex aerospace systems and technologies.

From the third year onwards, students have the opportunity to specialize in one of three areas: Aeronautics, Astronautics, or Avionics. This specialization allows students to tailor their education to specific interests and career goals within the aerospace sector. The curriculum includes advanced subjects such as flight mechanics, rocket propulsion, and computational fluid dynamics, complemented by laboratory work and minor projects to enhance practical understanding.

The 4th year of the Engineering program will be conducted in Florida through Aerocadet. Upon completion of the end of 4 years, the students will get their Aerospace Engineering Degree and their FAA CPL. The 4th year we also count as degree internship and as project year and GD Goenka will give acadeic credit to student's classes at the flight school in lieu of their Professional Electives. Students will also need to prepare and defend their undergraduate thesis (done online). This will be followed by 1.5 years of internship to complete their 1500 hours to qualify for ATPL.

This is the ONLY program in India which gives students both an Engineering degree and commercial pilot license certification in only 4 years.

After arriving in the United States, students will report to our FTP's training center "Pelican", located near Miami, Florida. The first step will involve undergoing security clearance and a standard FAA Class 1 Medical Examination to ensure compliance with U.S. aviation medical requirements.

Following medical clearance, students will be able to take FAA PPL, Instrument and CPL theoretical exams, and then begin the core theoretical and practical training phase, which includes both ground school and flight training. The theory training will be reduced to one-on-one coaching and pre-post flight briefings, as most of the aviation theory classes would have been completed in India, at GD Goenka, before arrival in the United States.

The daily schedule at "Pelican" flight center is designed to maintain a steady learning pace, with  1-2 hours of hands-on flight training. Students can expact to fly 3-4 hours per week. Flight training is conducted in a structured progression through three key licensing stages: Private Pilot License (PPL), Instrument Rating (IR), and Commercial Pilot License (CPL). Each stage builds upon the previous one, gradually expanding the student’s knowledge, skills, and operational authority. Through this progression, students gain comprehensive proficiency in both visual (VMC) and instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), using single-engine and multi-engine aircraft.

By the end of this phase, students will have completed approximately 200 flight hours, successfully earning their FAA Commercial Pilot certificate with Instrument and Multi-Engine ratings, recognized under ICAO standards. This certification enables them to operate as professional pilots in a wide range of international aviation environments.

Students will then advance to the next stage of their training, which involves obtaining the FAA Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) license. This certification is a critical component of the overall program, as it enables students to transition into the internship phase, where they begin working professionally as flight instructors.

The primary objective of this phase is to allow students to gain employment as commercial pilots by teaching other student pilots under the supervision of the flight academy. This not only provides them with the opportunity to build essential flight hours, which are required for future airline and corporate pilot positions, but also allows them to earn a salary while continuing to develop their skills in real-world flight operations.

This CFI training program typically requires an additional 25 hours of focused flight instruction, along with intensive ground school sessions covering advanced teaching techniques, FAA regulations, lesson planning, and student evaluation methods. Upon successful completion, students will be fully certified by the FAA to instruct private pilot applicants and begin accruing flight time in a paid professional role.

At this stage, students will have successfully earned all required academic credits to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering and Aviation. Pilots have the option to return to GD Goenka University in India to participate in the graduation ceremony or, alternatively, receive their degree remotely while residing in the United States, allowing for flexibility as they continue their professional aviation journey.

At this stage, students—now fully qualified FAA Commercial Pilots and Certified Flight Instructors—will be offered the opportunity to begin their flight instructor internship at our FTP academy. This internship is conducted under the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) authorization, which is a benefit of the F-1 visa program and allows international students to gain paid, career-related experience while continuing their education in the United States.

During the internship period, students can accumulate up to 600 hours of additional flight time, which is essential for meeting the hour requirements of most regional and international airlines. Approximately 25% of this total flight time will be conducted on multi-engine aircraft, further enhancing their qualifications and marketability as professional pilots. All logged hours will count as Pilot-in-Command (PIC) time, and training will be conducted in a multi-crew environment, simulating real airline operational dynamics.

Students can expect to fly approximately 80 hours per month in this role, with typical earnings ranging between $1000 and $1,400 USD per month, depending on activity level and performance. This phase not only accelerates flight time accumulation but also provides critical hands-on teaching experience in a professional flight training environment.

Students holding an F-1 visa are also eligible to take advantage of the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, which provides a unique opportunity to continue working in the United States for an additional 12 months after the completion of their flight training and internship. The OPT phase is designed to allow students to apply the skills they’ve acquired in a real-world professional aviation environment, while continuing to accumulate valuable flight time.

Under the OPT program, qualified pilots may be employed in a variety of aviation roles, including flight instruction, charter operations, and even entry-level turbine or piston aircraft operations within passenger or cargo transport companies. This phase is particularly beneficial for pilots aiming to transition into more advanced commercial roles and gain experience with complex aircraft and real-world operations.

To qualify for OPT, students must have successfully completed the CPT internship phase, during which they should have accumulated a minimum of 600 total flight hours—typically consisting of 200 hours during initial training and at least 400 hours during the internship. Additionally, eligibility requires a clean safety record (no accidents or incidents) and commendations or positive evaluations from the Chief Flight Instructor (CFI) of the training academy.

For those who aspire to continue their aviation careers in the United States beyond OPT, there may be an opportunity to pursue long-term employment through the EB-1 visa program (see phase 9C), which is available to individuals who demonstrate exceptional ability or significant professional achievement—criteria that may be met through high flight time, advanced certifications, and outstanding references gained during the CPT and OPT periods.

After students have successfully completed both their CPT and OPT internship phases, accumulating over 1,500 hours of total flight time, they become eligible to apply for a full, unrestricted Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) issued under FAA and ICAO regulations. This license represents the highest level of aeronautical certification a pilot can obtain and is a key milestone in every professional pilot’s career. FAA ATPL license is one of the most respected professional pilot certifications in the World, allowing holders to add any other ICAO ATPL licenses, through a standardized conversion process, for employment purposes anywere in the World, including India, Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE, Qatar, Saudi, etc.

Earning the unrestricted ICAO ATPL grants students the legal authority to operate as Pilot-in-Command (Captain) of large passenger-category aircraft in commercial airline operations. It is also a standard requirement for employment as a First Officer with most major airlines around the world, particularly those operating under ICAO-aligned standards.

This final certification phase can be completed in approximately two weeks through our trusted partner, ATP Flight School, in the United States. Upon completion, students will hold a globally recognized ATPL, opening the door to a wide range of professional airline opportunities worldwide.

This optional internship opportunity is available to qualified graduates who have successfully completed their CPT and OPT programs as flight instructors and/or commercial pilots. It is specifically designed for students who received favorable evaluations, demonstrated professionalism and acceptable academic performance, but who, at the time of graduation, had not yet met the competitive standards required for direct placement into airline internships.

Through this program, graduates have the chance to continue building critical flight hours and gain diverse international flying experience by working as aircraft delivery pilots for our strategic international partner, Global Air BVI inc, headquartered in British Virgin Islands. The company specializes in aircraft sales and ferry operations, managing transcontinental deliveries of piston and turboprop aircraft from the United States to destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, on behalf of global clients.

This internship allows pilots to accumulate substantial cross-country and international flight time, including valuable turbine (turbo-prop) hours, which are highly regarded by airlines worldwide. Compensation is based on per-delivery rates, with expected earnings of $2,000 to $2,500 USD per aircraft transfer, depending on route complexity and aircraft type.

By the end of this phase, students can reach a total of 2,500+ logged flight hours, significantly enhancing their qualifications and competitiveness for airline employment globally. This internship serves as an ideal stepping stone for low-hour commercial pilots seeking to bridge the gap to major carrier opportunities.

This is an optional employment pathway program, that can be taken instead or along the phases 9A and 9C.

FlyDubai, established in 2008, is a rapidly expanding low-cost carrier based in Dubai, operating a modern fleet of Boeing 737 NG and MAX aircraft, with Boeing 787s on order for future long-haul routes. While operating independently, it maintains a close partnership with Emirates, offering career progression opportunities—particularly for First Officers who log around 2,000 hours within three years, making flyDubai a strong launchpad for advancement in the Gulf aviation sector.

Aerocadet’s Pathway to flyDubai program offers a unique opportunity for graduates of its integrated flight training—as well as holders of ICAO CPL or ATPL licenses with ME/IR, 220+ hours of flight time, and valid medical and RT/FCC licenses—to enter flyDubai’s Second Officer program. The pathway includes focused preparation for the two-day CAE/flyDubai assessment and is designed to boost candidates’ success through targeted training and industry partnerships.

This program is ideal for pilots seeking long-term careers with Middle Eastern carriers, including future transition to top-tier airlines like Emirates. (See program details here >>>)

Again, this is an optional phase for graduates who want to stay and fly for the U.S. airlines by taking advantage of the EB-1A visa program. The EB-1A visa offers a unique opportunity for top-performing international pilots to obtain U.S. permanent residency and pursue long-term careers with U.S. airlines—without the need for employer sponsorship. This visa is intended for individuals with extraordinary ability, and in the aviation field, that includes pilots who have shown outstanding performance during flight training and internships in the United States.

Graduates who have completed their FAA commercial training, obtained CFI licenses, built over 1,500 hours of flight time—including turbine and international experience—and received strong evaluations may qualify. Demonstrating excellence through awards, published recognition, high-level flight instructor roles, or leadership in safety and training can help meet the EB-1A eligibility criteria.

Applicants file Form I-140 to begin the process and can self-petition without an airline sponsor. Once approved, they may adjust their status or apply via consular processing. The EB-1A visa provides a clear path to permanent legal employment in U.S. airlines, making it ideal for elite international flight school graduates aiming to stay and build careers in American commercial aviation. Aerocadet will provide our qualified graduates with multiple reference letters to support the visa petition.

The unique aspect of this phase is that Aerocadet, in exclusive partnership with the DC-based American Aviator Laureate Society undertakes to furnish our graduates with the aviation license honors certification to ensure a firm platform for EB-1A visa application.
