BACKGROUND:

Rajasthan State Flying School is a premier flying training institute which was earlier a full fledged Government Department. It had remained under total Government Control till January, 1991. This institution is the only one of its kind in the State which turns our Pilots. This is the primary fruitful activity of the Institute for which the Government should be proud of its achievements. This activity is not being done solely for the school but for the State and Nation. Such fruitful activities embraced by this school are also being undertaken by various State Governments which are vested under various departments.

Till the year 1991 this flying school was a part of a Government Department. It was experienced that under G.F. & A. R. the financial function could not have been carried out efficiently and timely. Therefore it was decided at the Government level that this institution may be converted as a registered society but under the full administrative control of the Government. The financial assistance to the school is granted to meet the expenses of salaries to staff and maintenance of aircrafts which were made available to the school by the DGCA.

This list is by no means exhaustive. It is merely a reflection of the quality of our output.
