A Private Pilot License (PPL) is a licence that lets you fly small aircraft for personal use. In India, the total PPL course fee usually ranges between INR10 lakhs to INR20 lakhs or more. This includes tuition, ground classes, flying hours, instructor charges, fuel, and other fees.
Paying such a large amount at once can be hard for many students and families.
Yes many flying schools in India allow you to pay your PPL training fees in installments.
This means you do not have to pay the entire fee upfront. Most institutes divide the total cost into multiple smaller payments that are due at different stages of the training. This helps you manage your money better.
For example, some schools might ask for a portion of the fee when you enroll, and the rest in a few splits like after certain flying hours or progress milestones.
Less financial pressure: You don't need to pay a huge lump sum at once.
Better planning: You can budget the payments over the months of your training.
Easier for students: Especially useful for students without large savings.
Instalments make PPL training more affordable and accessible.
Not all flying schools offer instalments: Some may still ask for full or large upfront payments.
Terms vary: Each school may have different schedules and rules for instalment payments.
Interest or charges: In rare cases, some institutes may add small extra charges when paying in instalments. Always ask before you join.
