Airline-Standard Pilot Training in Tunisia
Tunisia is steadily earning recognition among Indian students who want structured Airline-Standard Pilot Training rather than “shortcut” programs.
🌍 A Strategic Destination for Airline-Oriented CPL Training
Tunisia is steadily earning recognition among Indian students who want structured, airline-standard pilot training rather than “shortcut” programs.
Through its exclusive partnership with Safe Flight Academy (SFA), Rian Air provides a DGCA-compliant, professionally organized CPL-IR/ME course that focuses on real airline standards — disciplined training, rigorous academics, and operational exposure from an international airport base.
🧭 940 Hours of Academic Foundation — More Than Just Ground School
Unlike typical programs offering minimal theoretical hours, SFA provides over 940 hours of in-person ground instruction delivered by certified aviation educators.
This academic strength ensures:
-
Deep conceptual mastery of DGCA & EASA-aligned subjects
-
Group ground training that builds peer collaboration and discipline
-
Real-world scenario discussions from airline operations
“We want our cadets to think like airline pilots long before they wear the uniform.” — Capt. Vikas Vikramdas Nair
