DGCA OLODE Session 06 now has a different live application window for Flight Crew candidates than the window stated in DGCA’s August 3 public notice. As of August 7, 2026, the Pariksha homepage says AME applications remain open only until August 7, while Flight Crew applications will remain open from August 8 to August 10.
This matters because the August 3 notice reviewed for this article listed August 4–7 as the application window for both AME and Flight Crew candidates. The live DGCA-operated portal now gives Flight Crew candidates a later three-day window. Candidates should follow the current live category-specific portal instruction, while continuing to monitor the DGCA notice board for any revised PDF or further examination instruction.
Direct answer
Is DGCA OLODE Session 06 extended?
For Flight Crew candidates, the live Pariksha homepage now shows an application window of August 8–10, 2026. For AME candidates, the homepage says the portal remains open only until August 7. This is not evidence that the OLODE Session 06 examination itself has been postponed.
Current status
Official portal update confirmed
The current Pariksha homepage explicitly separates AME and FC application dates. DGCA’s 2026 exam calendar still lists OLODE Session 06 for August 19–21, and no newer official source checked for this article confirms a change to those examination dates.
Confirmed
- AME portal: open through August 7.
- Flight Crew portal: August 8–10.
- DGCA’s exam calendar lists OLODE Session 06 for August 19–21.
- The live Pariksha page is an official DGCA-operated source.
- The August 3 notice and current live homepage do not show the same FC application window.
Not confirmed
- No separate revised PDF superseding the August 3 notice was found in this validation pass.
- No official DGCA system-wide outage acknowledgement was found.
- No official postponement of the examination dates was found.
- No universal payment-reconciliation instruction for affected candidates was found.

DGCA OLODE Session 06: what changed?
DGCA’s August 3 Session 06 notice, reviewed during this workflow, listed the online application period for both AME and Flight Crew candidates as August 4–7, with candidates required to complete the application by 22:00 on the closing date.
The live Pariksha homepage now gives a different instruction for Flight Crew candidates:
| Candidate category | August 3 public notice | Live Pariksha homepage | Practical meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| AME | August 4–7 | Open until August 7 | No material date conflict for AME |
| Flight Crew | August 4–7 | August 8–10 | FC candidates now have a later category-specific window on the live portal |
| Exam dates | AME Aug 19; FC Aug 19–21 | Homepage note does not restate exam dates | Do not infer postponement from the application-window change |
Editorial interpretation
The safest reading is that DGCA has operationally changed the Flight Crew application window on its live portal, while the earlier August 3 PDF remains inconsistent unless and until DGCA publishes a revised notice or explicit supersession. Candidates should not treat the old common AME/FC window as the only current instruction.
DGCA OLODE Session 06 AME and Flight Crew dates
The DGCA OLODE Session 06 update is category-specific. The live homepage does not say all candidates now have until August 10.
AME candidates
Current DGCA homepage: application portal remains open until August 7, 2026.
Flight Crew candidates
Current DGCA homepage: application portal remains open from August 8 to August 10, 2026.
AME candidates should therefore not rely on the August 10 FC date. Flight Crew candidates, meanwhile, should recheck the live Pariksha homepage and their login once the FC window opens.
Which DGCA OLODE Session 06 date should candidates follow?
When an older official PDF and a newer live operational portal differ, the candidate-facing problem is not merely informational: the live system controls whether an application can actually be made. For DGCA OLODE Session 06, the homepage now explicitly distinguishes the two categories.
- Use the current live Pariksha homepage to identify the active category-specific window.
- Check your own candidate login before attempting payment or final submission.
- Monitor the relevant AME or Flight Crew notice board for a revised PDF or later instruction.
- Preserve screenshots, payment receipts and application acknowledgements.
Do not generalise the FC extension
The August 8–10 instruction is explicitly labelled for Flight Crew candidates only. It should not be reported as an August 10 extension for AME candidates.
Has DGCA OLODE Session 06 itself been postponed?
No official postponement has been confirmed in the sources checked for this article. DGCA’s 2026 examination calendar lists OLODE Session 06 for August 19–21. The August 3 notice reviewed in this workflow separately listed August 19 for AME and August 19–21 for Flight Crew.
The new homepage note changes the application window; it does not state that the examination dates have moved.
Current exam-date position
Until DGCA publishes a newer examination notice, candidates should continue to treat the existing Session 06 exam dates as operative planning dates and keep checking the notice board.
What Flight Crew candidates should do on August 8
Recheck homepage
Confirm the FC August 8–10 note is still displayed before starting.
Sign in
Use the official Flight Crew candidate login rather than relying on a cached browser page or third-party link.
Check Session 06
Confirm the correct session and available examination options inside the authenticated portal.
Check seats
Seat availability can be limited and the August 3 notice states seats are allotted first-come, first-served.
Pay carefully
Complete payment only through the official workflow and save the transaction reference.
Save acknowledgement
Keep the submitted application/receipt and monitor the notice board for venue/admit-card instructions.
What AME candidates should do
The live portal specifically says the AME application portal remains open until August 7. AME candidates should therefore complete their action within the AME window rather than assuming the Flight Crew August 8–10 period applies to them.
If an AME candidate encounters a late technical failure, preserve the error evidence and use the official query/support route. No general AME extension beyond August 7 was confirmed in this check.
What if payment succeeded but the DGCA application is not confirmed?
Candidate reports have described Bharatkosh/payment-confirmation problems, but DGCA has not published a system-wide outage acknowledgement in the sources checked for this article.
Avoid duplicate payment
If money has already been debited, do not automatically pay a second time merely because the DGCA application status has not updated. Preserve the Bharatkosh transaction reference, bank/payment proof and DGCA application details, then use the official query/status route and any instructions shown inside the portal.
This article does not claim that every delayed payment confirmation is the same technical fault. Bank settlement, Bharatkosh status and DGCA application mapping are separate stages and may fail differently.
Are DGCA OLODE Session 06 seats guaranteed?
No. The August 3 notice reviewed during this workflow states that available seats are limited and allotted on a first-come, first-served basis. The current homepage update changes the Flight Crew application dates; it does not guarantee that every preferred city, subject or seat will remain available through August 10.
That makes the practical task for Flight Crew candidates different from simply waiting until the last day: once the FC window opens, check the live portal and available seats early.

How this was verified
ThePulseSignal checked the live DGCA Pariksha homepage on August 7, 2026. The page currently states that the AME application portal for OLODE Session 06 remains open until August 7 and that the Flight Crew portal remains open from August 8 to August 10.
DGCA’s official 2026 examination calendar was checked separately and continues to list OLODE Session 06 for August 19–21. The August 3 Session 06 public notice reviewed in this editorial workflow listed a common August 4–7 application window for AME and Flight Crew, creating the official-source conflict explained above.
The public Flight Crew registration and query-status pages were also checked for availability. A public page being reachable does not prove that every authenticated candidate workflow, payment confirmation or seat-selection operation is working normally.
Last verified: August 7, 2026, approximately 12:48 PM IST.
