DGCA Computer Number Application Assistance

Your First Step Toward a Pilot Licence

Before you can begin your DGCA examinations or start formal flight training, you must obtain a valid DGCA Computer Number. This number is your unique candidate identification issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and is compulsory for every aspiring pilot in India.

At Aviators of Tomorrow, we guide future pilots through every stage of the Computer Number application process. From document preparation to final approval, our goal is to ensure accuracy, compliance with DGCA norms and a smooth, stress-free experience for students and parents alike.

What Is DGCA Computer Number?

A DGCA Computer Number is a unique identification number assigned by DGCA to candidates who wish to appear for pilot licence examinations in India. This number acts as your official DGCA identity and remains with you throughout your aviation career.

It is mandatory for students pursuing:

• Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)
  
• Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
  
• Flight Radio Telephony Operator’s Licence (FRTOL)
  
• Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL)
  

Without a valid Computer Number, a student cannot register for or appear in any DGCA theoretical examinations, regardless of flight school admission or ground class enrollment.

Why DGCA Computer Number Is Important

The Computer Number is far more than just an application formality. It is a permanent DGCA record that connects every stage of your pilot journey.

• Acts as your lifetime pilot ID with DGCA
  
• Mandatory for DGCA exam registration and licensing processes
  
• Links your academic qualifications, exam results and documents under one verified profile
  
• Ensures official recognition of your flight training and examinations
  
• Required at later stages such as licence issue, conversion and upgrades
  

Any mistake at this stage can delay your exams and training timeline, which is why correct application is critical.
