The Radio Telephony (RT) Certificate is a mandatory qualification for every pilot who operates on live radio frequencies. Without a valid DGCA RT license, no pilot can legally communicate with Air Traffic Control (ATC) on controlled airspace frequencies. At Vajra Aviation, our RT Ground Training is designed to ensure absolute competence and examination confidence.
Our Ex-IAF faculty bring a rare perspective to RT training — they have used military and civil aviation radio protocols operationally, under pressure, in complex airspace environments. This means our students learn RT not just as an examination subject, but as a real-world survival skill in the cockpit.
A structured, DGCA exam-focused curriculum covering all RT competencies:
The RT course runs for 1 to 3 months depending on the batch type and individual pace.
RT batches can also be combined with ongoing CPL/ATPL ground school batches. Contact us for scheduling.
Upon clearing the DGCA Radio Telephony examination, students are awarded the DGCA RT (Restricted) Certificate — the official license required to communicate on live aviation frequencies as a pilot. This is a mandatory component of the CPL licensing process in India.
A Radio Telephony licence (RTR or FRTOL — Flight Radio Telephone Operator Licence) is a mandatory DGCA licence for anyone who uses aviation radio communication equipment — including pilots, air traffic controllers, flight dispatchers, and airport ground staff. In India, the FRTOL is issued by the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) wing of the Ministry of Communications after passing DGCA radio telephony examinations.
The FRTOL is mandatory for: Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) holders, Student Pilots (SPL), Air Traffic Control Officers, Flight Dispatchers (FOO), Aircraft Radio Operators, and anyone who transmits on aviation radio frequencies. It is a prerequisite for CPL issue and all aviation licences that involve radio communication.

The DGCA RTR (Radio Telephony Restricted) examination consists of a written theory paper covering radio communication theory, procedures, and regulations, followed by a practical oral test on standard aviation phraseology and emergency procedures. Vajra Aviation prepares students for both components with mock tests and practical exercises.
