The story

An engineer who chose the cockpit.

I didn't grow up dreaming about planes. I had a Chemical Engineering degree from VIT, an 8.91 CGPA, and a job that made sense on paper. Then something shifted — and I walked away from it all.

Eight months in Merritt Island, Florida. 244 hours. CPL, multi-engine, instrument rated. Back to India. DGCA theory cleared. Selected by a leading Indian carrier for the Boeing 737 type rating.

Decision Altitude exists because I couldn't find honest, specific guidance when I needed it most. No shortcuts. No sales pitch. Just the real path — documented so the next person doesn't figure it out alone.

What you get

Mentorship that's actually useful.

🎯
Honest direction
No generic advice. I'll tell you exactly where you are, what's missing, and what to do next — based on your specific situation.
📋
Selection prep
Technical rounds, group discussions, personal interviews — I went through all of it recently. You'll know what to expect and how to show up.
🧠
Mindset clarity
The post-CPL waiting phase is as much mental as it is practical. I'll help you build the right habits and stay sharp when nothing seems to be moving.
