Pilot Training

Entrance exam to becoming pilot is Pilot Aptitude Test (PAT). PAT is a common name for entrance conducted by different institutes and flying clubs and schools. About PAT: This exam checks candidate's proficiency in Mathematics, English and some basics of air navigation, which consists of subjects like- Physics, Geography, Aerodynamics etc. Physics, English, Maths and Geography are totally 12th standard based. If we talk about any big or national based entrance, then it is WOMBAT. WOMBAT is conducted by Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Udan Academy (IGRUA) which is a national level entrance for getting admission into India's Best Pilot training school/institute I. e; IGRUA. Regards.

To become a commercial pilot:
1. You need to first possess a student pilot license. You must be over 17 years of age and have completed 12th in Science (Physics and mathematics) with 50%.
2. Your vision in one eye must be perfect. In general medical terminology, it is called 6/6 eyesight. In the other eye, you could have an imperfection of 6/9, which must be correctable to 6/6.
3. General physical fitness is mandatory. You must be free of any disease that can hamper normal function.
4. You need to register at a flying club which is recognised by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India.

Without an airline transport pilot certificate, and with only a CPL and a few hundred hours to your name, you're very limited in what you can do for a living. Theoretically, the FAA lists all the careers a CPL-wielding pilot can legally perform. These include tasks like aerial application (crop dusting), pipeline patrol, banner tow, air charter (with a valid air operating certificate), sightseeing flights (with a valid FAA permit), aerial photography, traffic watch, and other such careers. Unfortunately, None of these careers is particularly lucrative, and while you may find gainful employment as, for example, a traffic watch pilot, you probably won't make enough to survive (and will have to take a second job). The most common next step for fresh CPL holders is to continue on towards getting their CFI and begin teaching at a local flight school. You'll probably make enough to quit your other job, and you'll be doing a lot of flying.
