Commercial Pilot

Commercial Pilot is getting one of the highest salary in India, Fresh pilot salary is around Rs 1.5 Lakh per moth for domestic airlines. Salary moves up rapidly with year of experience and on the international route. Experienced pilot on international route can get 5-6 lakh Rupees per month as salary.

To become a pilot, aspirants need to join Air flying schools after completion of 10+2, they should pass the 10+2 exam with physic, chemistry, math. Minimum marks should be 50%.

there need to clear the entrance test exam of the flying schools in India, they also need to clear the physical fitness (Which is tough one). Only totally fit person can get opportunity to get admission in flying schools.
The cost of education is very high, it is around Rs 15- 20 lakh. Many banks can give loan up to 50%.

After completion of education, they get the licence of pilot. Airlines companies hires the successful candidates as trainee.
The salary of trainee is less. After successful completion of training periods they are posted as pilot.

Even after becoming commercial pilot, they need regular medical check up, any problem in health can cause cancellation of the licence of the pilot.
So, over all, job as a pilot is too challenging as well as very high rewarding .
Don’t confuse with the job of pilot of Indian air Force. IAF pilot is selected through NDA exam, training is free and pay is based on Indian gov salary (Air Force) which is around 40-50 K Rs per moth. IAF pilot can not to leave their job to become commercial pilot easily.

some from where SPL, PPL, and CPL training can be completed:
  • Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi, Uttar Pradesh
  • Flying Training Institute, Behala, Calcutta
  • Government Aviation Training Institute, Civil aerodrome, Bhubaneswar
  • Karnal Aviation Club, Kunjpura Road, Karnal, Haryana
  • Government Flying Club, Aerodrome, Lucknow
  • School of Aviation Science and Technology, Delhi Flying Club Ltd, New Delhi
  • State Civil Aviation, UP Govt Flying Training Center Kanpur and Varanasi
  • Rajasthan State Flying School, Sanganer Airport, Jaipur
  • Govt Flying Training School Jakkur Aerodrome, Bangalore
  • Andra Pradesh Flying Club Hydrabad Airport, Hydrabad
  • Assam Flying Club, Guwahati Airport, Guwahati
  • Bihar Flying Institute, Civil Aerodrome, Patna, Bihar (More details are here)

Many people are uncertain about the procedure to become an airline pilot. Here we list the normal stages people follow in their progress to their career as an airline pilot.

1. Pass a medical to ensure you meet the medical requirements.
Contrary to popular belief, you do not need perfect health, and you do not need perfect eyesight to become a Commercial Pilot. As long as your eyesight can be corrected to near normal then you can hold the Commercial Pilot licence.
Full details about passing your medical are available here.

2. Undertake a training course to obtain a Commercial Pilot Licence - which allows you to be paid for your flying.
This course will take you about 12 months to complete.
You can obtain a student visa to come and stay in Australia. Information about why you should study in Australia is here.

3. Obtain employment to build your flying experience. This can be done in India, or you may choose to work in Australia (subject to obtaining the correct visa).
Indian airlines are currently recruiting pilots with the basic 200 hours required for an Indian CPL, as well as a Command Instrument Rating. Now is an excellent time to get involved with this exciting career.

Dear Friend,
The basic education qualification to become an airline pilot is to clear 10+2 (Senior Secondary School) with a pass in Physics and Maths. So 12th is mandatory.

To get into a commercial pilot's you have to get commercial pilot's license, which typically takes 1-2 years of training. After getting a commercial pilot's license, a job with an airline begins as a trainee co-pilot and after a transition training of 6 to 8 months, one starts flying on line as a co-pilot.

It requires a basic aptitude (does not mean to be good in mathematics and science, but it does require one to have reasonably basic numerical abilities) apart from good reasoning and communication skills.


Many of the people are uncertain about the procedure to become an pilot.
One have to follow in depth,

1. Pass a medical to ensure you meet the medical requirements.

2. Undertake a training course to obtain a Commercial Pilot Licence

3. Obtain employment to build your flying experience.

Here is some of the flying schools for training in india

Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi, Uttar Pradesh
Flying Training Institute, Behala, Calcutta
Government Aviation Training Institute, Civil aerodrome, Bhubaneswar
Karnal Aviation Club, Kunjpura Road, Karnal, Haryana
Government Flying Club, Aerodrome, Lucknow
School of Aviation Science and Technology, Delhi Flying Club Ltd, New Delhi
State Civil Aviation, UP Govt Flying Training Center Kanpur and Varanasi
Rajasthan State Flying School, Sanganer Airport, Jaipur
Govt Flying Training School Jakkur Aerodrome, Bangalore
Andra Pradesh Flying Club Hydrabad Airport, Hydrabad
Assam Flying Club, Guwahati Airport, Guwahati

All the Best.

To become a commercial pilot-


The basic prerequisites -

i. You must complete your Class XII under the 10+2 system or its equivalent with a minimum of 50 per cent marks in Mathematics and Physics.

ii. You must be minimum 16 years of age to be eligible for a Private Pilot License and 17 for a Commercial Pilot License.

iii. 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.

iv. General physical fitness is mandatory. You must be free of any disease that can hamper normal function.


The route to being a commercial pilot-

First, zero in on a good flying club.
Then you begin the stepwise training process.


~ Student Pilot License-

i. You must appear for a written theory examination in Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology and Air Navigation and Air Technical.

ii. You must obtain a medical certificate of fitness from doctors designated by the Director General of Civil Aviation. Only two bodies in India [ Images ] -- Air Force Central Medical Establishment in New Delhi [ Images ] and the Institute of Aviation Medicine, Bangalore -- are authorised to give you a medical fitness certificate.

iii. You have to get a security clearance.

iv. You will need to appear for an oral examination and an aptitude test.

v. If the medical clearance comes through and you clear the exams, you will be granted the SPL.

Damages: You must furnish a bank guarantee of Rs 10,000.



~ Private Pilot Licence-

i. Post attaining the SPL, you will be assigned an instructor to start flying lessons. You will be taught the basics of flying and your instructor will accompany you on flights.

ii. After about 15 hours of flying with an instructor, ie dual flying, you can fly solo and go cross-country as well.

iii. To obtain a Private Pilot License, you have to fly a minimum of 60 hours. Of this, at least 20 hours should be solo flying and 5 hours should be cross-country flights.

iv. You will also need to appear for the written theory examinations in subjects like Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Aircraft Engines and Seamanship.

v. You will need to obtain the medical fitness certificate from the AFCME or IAM.

vi. You must be at least 17 years old.

viii. You must have passed Class XII or equivalent exam with Physics, Maths and Chemistry as your subjects.

Damages: The per hour cost of flying is quite steep: about Rs 3,500.

To get a PPL, you need at least 60 hours of flying. Thus the total cost of obtaining a PPL will be a cool Rs 2 lakh (Rs 200,000)!




~ Commercial Pilot License-

This license is the most important license to become a commercial pilot.

i. The age bracket for getting a CPL is between 18 years and 30 years.

ii. You need a minimum of 250 hours of flying to get this license. Of this, 150 hours have to be solo flying, 25 hours of cross-country flying, 10 hours of instrument flying (which means you rely only on the plane's instruments for flying without looking at the horizon or external assistance), and 5 hours of flying in the night.

iii. A medical certificate from ACFME or IAM and theory tests in Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Technical and Planning are other important parts of the process.

iv. You can get the Private Helicopter License if you complete 40 hours of flight training with 15 hours of solo flying. Written exams on basic aviation subjects have to be taken.

v. To get a Commercial Helicopter Pilot License, you need 60 hours of flight training as well as appear for a written exam.

vi. Helicopter pilots are hired by public and private sector corporates as well as security agencies.

Damages: A steep Rs 9 lakh (Rs 900,000). For a Commercial Helicopter Pilot License, the cost could go up to Rs 13 lakh (Rs 1.3 million)!




~ Airline Transport Pilot's License-

The above mentioned licenses can only allow you to fly as a co-pilot. If you want to take over as captain, you need the Airline Transport Pilot's License, which is the highest aviation license available.

Along with clearing written papers, you also need to clock a total of 1,500 flying hours and take medical tests.

Damages: It costs Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000 per hour. Often, the airline you work for may sponsor the training costs.




Additional training and information-
Once you get the CPL, you may want to go in for multi engine training.

After seven to 10 hours of multi engine training on a certain aircraft, your license will carry an endorsement of the aircraft you have flown.

All the above licenses need to be renewed regularly. You must adhere strictly to medical tests.

Fly one hour after your license expires, and you will be banned from flying ever again!

Medical conditions and regular exam clearances notwithstanding, a pilot can continue in this career till 61 years.

These days, you could even try for a scholarship. Please visit www.scholarshipsindia.com for details.

Damages: Multi engine flight training is very expensive and can cost anything between Rs 15,000 and Rs 25,000 per hour.

Hi,

I'm want to become a commercial pilot. After reading replies above, i guess the odds are pretty strong against me. Firstly I'm already 30yr old. Secondly, Im a commerce graduate (and a Chartered Accountant).
I want to know, if I can still get a commercial pilot licence if I'm ready to slog? I mean the 30 yrs age window (I cant change my age) but Im ready to do private 12th to get physics under my wing of education. Currently Im a housewife, due to some personal reasons I had to give up my old dream of becoming a commercial pilot, but now with my husbands backing I can see the light, I want to know if its already too late for me? Pls guide me.

Hi aspirant,
It is good opportunities and salary scale in the field of aviation.There is a lack of pilot in the world . Therefore companies are looking for good well trained pilot .
To become a commercial pilot, aspirants need to join Air flying schools after completion of 10+2,
they should pass the 10+2 exam with physic, chemistry, math. Minimum marks should be 50%.

Here is some of the flying schools for training in flying from where SPL (Student Pilot Licence), PPL (Private Pilot Licence), and CPL (Commercial Pilot License) training can be completed:

Bihar Flying Institute, Civil Aerodrome, Patna, Bihar
Assam Flying Club, Guwahati Airport, Guwahati
Government Aviation Training Institute, Civil aerodrome, Bhubaneswar
State Civil Aviation, UP Govt Flying Training Center Kanpur and Varanasi
School of Aviation Science and Technology, Delhi Flying Club Ltd, New Delhi
Government Flying Club, Aerodrome, Lucknow
Rajasthan State Flying School, Sanganer Airport, Jaipur
Karnal Aviation Club, Kunjpura Road, Karnal, Haryana
Andra Pradesh Flying Club Hydrabad Airport, Hydrabad
Govt Flying Training School Jakkur Aerodrome, Bangalore
Flying Training Institute, Behala, Calcutta
Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi, Uttar Pradesh

They need to clear the entrance test exam of the flying schools in India, they also need to clear the physical fitness (Which is tough one). Only totally fit person can get opportunity to get admission in flying schools.
The cost of education is very high, it is around Rs 15- 20 lakh. Many banks can give loan up to 50%.
After completion of education, they get the licence of pilot. Airlines companies hire the successful candidates as trainee.
The salary of trainee is less. After successful completion of training periods they are posted as pilot.
Even after becoming commercial pilot, they need regular medical check up, any problem in health can cause cancellation of the license of the pilot.
So, over all, job as a pilot is too challenging as well as very high rewarding.

Best of Luck…

hello dear
In order to be a pilot in our country you need to be a 12th PASS with Math and Physics….

Personal Trait:

Perfect physical health, mental and emotional stability and balance, a positive,disciplined attitude, sense of responsibility, aptitude for scientific/technical study,sense of adventurous, courage, the qualities of a leader and self confidence are important traits for a person planning to be a pilot.

Courses And Training:

Initially one obtains a student pilot license (SPL) from a government sponsored flying club in the country. The minimum eligibility sponsored for the SPL is matriculation examination and age should be above 16 years. An oral examination has to be taken in subjects related to aviation.

Before being permitted to start flying, one must acquire a private pilot license (PPL). Flying includes overall 60 hours of flying with cross-country and solo flying. In additional individuals have to pass theoretical examinations in subjects.
A commercial pilot license (CPL) can be obtained only after acquiring a PPL. Flying clubs are equipped to provide a practical complement of the training for the CPL, which includes a further 190 hours of flying experience.


Student Pilot License (SPL)
This is an examination conducted by flying clubs in every State and covers papers in Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation Air Technical. It is a theory exam.


Eligibility : Age of 16 years minimum and pass in class X. A medical certificate of fitness, security clearance and a bank guarantee of Rs.10,000 is required.
Selection : Candidates taking the SPL test have to appear in an oral examination on a fixed day every month, candidates go through a medical test. Air Force Central Medical Establishment (AFCME), Subroto Park,New Delhi and Institute of Aviation Medicine(IAM), Vimanpura Bangalore, are the final authorities for medical fitness. After medical clearance the candidate gets the SPL. Candidates are also required to pass the Pilot Aptitude Test.

Private pilot license (PPL)
After getting the SPL the candidate accompanied by the flying instructor proceeds for initial flying training. This is a dual flight, where the instructor or trainer accompanies the learner to teach him the practical aspect of flying. Then the candidate gets his first independent flight normally after about 15 Hour of dual flying . This includes cross country flying. A total of 60 Hours of flying is needed of which 20 hour minimum should be solo and 5 hours cross country. Theory Exam-There is a theory examination also, the subjects are: Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Aircraft Engines, Seamanship.

A student can get the CPL by doing his flying training for 129 hours to complete 250 Hour of flying. Training facilities are available with Flying Clubs in India, Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Academy, Raibarelly, UP, Private Academies or Flying School in USA or Europe, Australia, Gulf,etc. Education eligibility : XII(physics and Maths), Non-Science students who started flying before jan1,1994 were eligible for 1996 admission. Current PPL Licence needed with flying experience in the last 3 year.


Eligibility : 18 years to 30 years.
Medical fitness : As granted by AFCME, New Delhi/IAM, Bangalore.

The final place for a commercial pilot is the cockpit of an airplane. But before that candidate has to follow the route of Student Pilot License (SPL) and Private Pilot License (PPL) or Commercial Pilot License (CPL).

Eligibility:
1. Candidate should pass 10+ 2 pass in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with minimum of 50% marks, to obtain a SPL one only needs 10th passing certificate.
2. Age between 18-30 years for CPL
3. Height- minimum 5 feet

It is better to visit Visit website of Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and find a flying club approved by them.

To become a pilot, you need to join Air flying schools after completion of 10+2, they should pass the 10+2 exam with physic, chemistry, math. Minimum marks should be 50%.
You need to clear the entrance test exam of the flying schools in India, they also need to clear the physical fitness (Which is tough one). Only totally fit person can get opportunity to get admission in flying schools.
You should have passed 10+2 with at least 50% marks in math and physics. Studying maths and physics is mandatory. You have to be a minimum of 18 years of age on the date the license is issued.

you have to join in a flying school approved by DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation). The DGCA is the the statutory authority overlooking aviation matters like personnel licensing and airworthiness in India.

Before joining the flying school you have to clear the medical tests at prescribed medical centers. Physical fitness and prescribed vision standards have to be met.

An entrance test has to be cleared before training to acquire a private pilot license (PPL). Thereafter, 60 hours of flying training should be completed and then the license must be secured by clearing four theory exams.

Once you have a PPL, you should complete again 250 hours of flying training to get commercial pilot license.

Also before the lapse of three years after your flying experience, you must again get a medical clearance from prescribed medical centers and appear for the exams on air regulations, aviation meteorology, technical planning and air navigation. They are held six times each year to obtain a commercial airline pilot license (CPL).

once you have your CPL ,you can then work as a trainee co-pilot for six to eight months with any airlines and thereafter as co-pilot.
Indians also can get trained in abroad and obtain a foreign commercial pilot license. In that case, you have to convert it into an Indian license from the DGCA by clearing flying checks and exams in two subjects held by the DGCA.
