About Chimes Aviation Academy

Chimes aviation academy is situated in Sagar, a remote area in Madhya Pradesh. They operate flying in a private airport there and conduct cross-country flights to Indore, Bhopal etc. Instructors are liberal in flying views and strict in discipline, as per the student reports we got. Flying goes on continuously without halts due to fuel shortage and legal issues. Solo flying is released as soon as possible for a student to do it all alone. Aircrafts are relatively new and that too assist in continuous flying.

Student Survey Report

Chimes is perhaps the best reported institute so far, in India. Liberal flying and disciplined conduct makes it one of the worthiest institute in India, to join. As per student report, instructors insist on flying more unlike other institutes where cadets have to bribe and please instructors to get their flying.
