Pilot Training Eligibility

Hello Shekhada,
Getting commercial pilot's licence is quite tough, at least in India. After having obtained commercial pilot license, invariably everybody gets placed in one or the other civil Airlines in India. For the past many years, passenger as well as cargo traffic is increasing at the rate of 15% per year and is expected to show the same growth in years to come. In view of this almost all Airlines have increased their aircraft strength or are in the process of increasing it. With each aircraft roughly three Pilots are required for optimum utilization, and hence I feel you will get placed immediately as soon as you get the DGCA license. Best wishes to you.

The CPL training with only Single engine training is available for around Rs.23 lacs. If you opt for the multi engine training, the fee is around Rs. 28 lacs. Academy of Carver Aviation, Gurgaon, Mumbai, the total fees is INR 24.50 Lacs. So, its mostly above 20 Lacs. To become a Commercial Pilot, you should clear CPL Course. CPL stands for Commercial Pilot License. It will take Maximum one year to complete the course. Eligibility: HSc / Equivalent with Maths, Physics and Chemistry (Minimum 50%)

It requires knowledge of air navigation, interpretation of meteorological reports, operating sophisticated electronic and mechanical controls, leading the aircraft under adverse circumstances, and being a leader to the flight crew and passengers under climatic and other emergency situations. You will be responsible for the passengers, the crew and the aircraft. Hence you must have discipline, patience, responsibility, punctuality, commitment and self-confidence. Apart from Theoretical and Practical training. Flying rating is mandatory for getting license. FLYING TRAINING

For getting a job in airline you will have to go through the selection procedure of the airline. It comprises of Technical Exam, GD, PI, Simulator check and Medicals. For becoming a commercial pilot, there is a specific eligibility criteria, which you should first be aware of. This is decided on what subjects have you taken in class 12th. It requires 50% marks in PCM to be a pilot. And, even if you have not opted for the same, then you can appear separately for these subjects and become eligible. Further, you should be aware that you are medically fit to be a pilot, so I would suggest you to visithttp://www.dgca.nic.in/medical/medical-ind.htmandgototheclass 2nd examiners tab to find out doctors who will examine you for initial fitness. You can visit any doctorate from the list as per your convenience. Once you are done with Class 2nd medical, find out a suitable flying club for you as per your convenience. You can fly in India or abroad. I would suggest you fly in India. Besides finding the club, be aware that you will have to appear for:
1. Air Navigation
2. Aviation Meteorology
3. Air Regulations
4. Aviation Technical
5. Aircraft Specific
6. Radio Telephony
Here, 1-5 are conducted by DGCA and 6 is conducted by WPC. Prepare for these subjects and appear, as exams are conducted every quarterly. For preparation, flying club will help you or there are private instructors available in metro cities as well. You will fly for 200Hrs + Clear DGCA and WPC exams + Clear Class 1st medical, then you shall get your CPL. The next license is ATPL, which you shall be able to apply for once. You will then have to probably fund or self-sponsor your type rating on whatever fleet you are selected in an airline. Then, you finally get a job as a pilot. I hope the process is well explained to you. CPL is an expensive affair. It might cost you around Rs.18-20 Lacs for flying + DGCA exams Rs.500/- each exam + Medicals for Rs.10, 000 + endorsements and license issue fees around Rs.25k + Type Rating around Rs.15 Lacs. So, decide wisely before you enter the field.
