Ministry of Civil Aviation DGCA Introduces Training Framework for Gyroplane Pilots
Posted On: 29 SEP 2026 4:57PM by PIB Delhi The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has promulgated a new Civil Aviation Requirement
(CAR), Section 7, Series B, Part XXI, titled โGround and Flying Training Syllabus for Issue of Pilot Licence for Gyroplanes.โ The CAR prescribes the ground and flying training syllabus for candidates seeking a DGCA pilot licence in the gyroplane category.
Gyroplanes are a unique category of aircraft that use a freely rotating rotor system to generate lift, while forward thrust is provided by a propeller. Their operational capabilities make them suitable for joyrides, air experience flights and aerial work activities such as agricultural spraying, banner towing, surveillance and survey operations.
The promulgation of this CAR is an initial step towards facilitating the introduction and operationalisation of gyroplanes in India. Further measures, including the establishment of training organisations and development of manufacturing and assembly capabilities, will support the growth of this emerging segment of civil aviation.
