Government Aviation Training Institute
A Pathway To Your Career
Founded by the honorable Captain Bijayananda (Biju) Patnaik on 14th September 1946, the Orissa Flying Club at Bhubaneshwar, was one of the early and premier flying institutions of India. It was his dream, that the young men and women of Orissa be at the forefront, to train and become professional pilots of independent India. Since 1946, Orissa Flying Club has been a breeding ground for professional and recreational pilots. Initially a pursuit of the privileged, the club was more of a social and hobby center with the alumni engaged in flying in different parts of the world. Orissa Flying Club had a name and a presence nationally.

What Does it Takes
Knowledge
Knowledge is specific information required to enable a learner to develop and apply the skills and attitudes to recall facts, identify concepts, apply rules or principles, solve problems, and think creatively in the context of work.
Skills
A skill is an ability to perform an activity or action. It is often divided into three types: motor, cognitive and metacognitive skills.
Attitude
Attitude is a persistent internal mental state or disposition that influences an individual’s choice of personal action toward some object, person or event and that can be learned. Attitudes have affective components, cognitive aspects and behavioural consequences. To demonstrate the “right” attitude, a learner needs to “know how to be” in a given context.
Student Pilot Testimonials
Gratitude
As a student in GATI, I gained both skills and confidence to fly in various conditions. The courses in flying and theoretical knowledge have helped me achieve a lot! A place where flying solo is given the most priority keeping all safety measures. The instructors were patient, understanding, and highly skilled. The camaraderie created by this environment led to relationships and memories that will last forever. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Anish Patnaik, Student Pilot

Rishabh Dubey, First Officer Programme
Every day that I come to the airfield, I know I am going to have a different experience and new things to learn. Our instructors at GATI always believe in encouraging us to do better and every time we are in the cockpit, we are being tested for different situations and for things out of our comfort zone. They also make sure that we always follow proper procedures for everything needed for our safety. Every time when I am flying solo and getting closer to my goal, I feel grateful to GATI for giving wings to my dream.
