Pilot Training

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.

You can proceed with doing BBA in aviation which is a 3-year undergraduate course which is divided into 6 semesters. Each year contains 2 semesters with each term having a minimum of 5 or more subjects.
After the completion of this course, you can proceed further towards your aim accordingly.
The average course fee for BBA in Aviation is Rs. 50,000 60,000 per year. Each semester should charge the student anywhere around 25,000 30,000 in most mid-level colleges.

All the best.

Hello Renish Sonani,
Aeronautical engineers have less number of opportunities at present in the Indian industry. There are two major employers in DRDO and ISRO both being government agencies. Of course, armed forces also employ some Aeronautical engineers in their maintenance branch but other than this as the Aerospace industry has not grown much the requirement of Aeronautical engineers is also less. On the other hand the civilian air traffic market in India is expanding. The number of passengers is growing at the rate of 15% per annum and so also is the cargo traffic. In view of this, requirement of aircraft maintenance engineers is bound to increase as almost all Airlines are increasing their aircraft strength. Based on the foregoing I would definitely recommend aircraft maintenance engineering as the branch or as the profession to be selected.

Getting a job as an airline pilot is the hardest thing to do after completing your training. For each airline, there are at least 20 (or more) other pilots that are qualified to get the job. The majority of flight schools offer training only up to 200 hours. After that, you're on your own to build hours, hours that you'll need to present as proof of experience, to an airline that you want a job with. Major airlines like Emirates, Etihad, Delta, and American only hire pilots that have up to 2000 or more flying hours. If you want to be able to land a job with them, you have two options:
Get a job with a regional or minor airline: Airlines like Aeromexico, GoAir, CityJet, JetBlue, etc., hire pilots with less than 1000 hours, some will even hire you if you've got at least 180 hours (which is less than what you've already achieved with a flight school). Keep in the mind that you're joining them to build hours. Once you fly for them for a year or two and get those 2000/3000 hours, you can easily land jobs with bigger airlines. The pay is low for regional airline pilots, so don't expect it to be all glamorous. Work other jobs to build hours: You could work on your IFR rating and begin to work as a CFI, using money that you get from that job to rent aircraft to log hours. You could also fly Banner Planes, or Tourism planes (Seaplanes or something similar) to build hours. Once again, the pay isn't that great but as long as you're getting those hours, you should be fine. It'll take you up to two years or more, depending upon the intensity and frequency of your flying sessions, but it'll be worth it. As I said, it's not really easy when you're fresh out of a flight school, but when you've got the experience, you can easily land jobs with major airlines.
