Pilot Training

For getting pilot jobs, you need to have an adequate flying experience. So after getting the pilot training, you need to practice flying till you reach that benchmark.
Training in commercial flying can be taken with flying clubs like the Rashtriya Udan Academy and private flying academies.
The training goes through 3 stages of licence. While they give training, placement is not their responsibility.
The licences have to be procured in the following order:
- Student Pilot Licence (SPL)
- Private Pilot Licence (PPL)
- Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL)
After class XI/XII (PCM) students can apply for the SPL.
On passing class XII (PCM) they may enrol for the next licence-PPL.
After procuring the PPL, training begins for CPL.
Details of the licences:
Student pilot licence can be taken at flying clubs in every State. It is a theory exam.
Eligibility- 16 years is the minimum age required and a student need top complete class 10th. A medical certificate of fitness, security clearance and a bank guarantee is required.
Selection-Candidates taking the SPL test have to appear for an oral examination on a fixed day every month. Candidates have to enrol a month before the examination. Selected candidates go through a medical test and the pilot aptitude test.
