Pilots' Testimonials

Captain Avinash Chikte has been an incredible mentor in my interview preparation journey. The guidance and insights he provided were extremely precise, and many of the topics and scenarios he covered were exactly what I was asked during my interview. He always emphasizes that small details matter, and I experienced firsthand how those very details were noticed and appreciated by the interviewers.

What truly set Captain Avinash Chikte's training apart was how he prepared us for the mindset shift from First Officer to Captain. Making us switch seats and think from both perspectives completely changed the way I understood command. It was never just about procedures. It was about thinking and responding like a Captain. His influence continues to reflect in the way I approach flying even today.

Some people come as a complete package, and Captain Avinash Chikte is exactly that. Legends do not just teach procedures. They shape people. If you are willing to give 99% to learn, he will add another 100% from his side. He does not just train you to fly aircraft. He trains you for life.

Completing my command simulator training under the guidance of Captain Avinash Chikte was one of the most valuable learning experiences of my career. Beyond his immense knowledge and experience, what truly stands out is the personal effort he puts into every session. He goes the extra mile to ensure you not only understand a concept, but are fully confident applying it.
