Hi,
If you mean commercial pilot, then please remember being a commercial pilot is one of the most promising career as it offers good career prospects and excellent growth opportunities not only in India but across the globe.
Training in commercial flying can be taken with Flying clubs, the Rashtriya Udan Academy, Private Flying academies or with Flying schools abroad.
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 (with PCM) students can apply for the SPL.
On passing Class XII(PCM) they may enroll for the next licence -PPL
On getting the PPL training begins for CPL.
Student pilot licence can be taken at flying clubs in every State. 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 is required.
Selection - Candidates taking the SPL test have to appear in an oral examination on a fixed day every month. Candidates have to enroll a month before the examination. Selected candidates go through a medical test and the Pilot Aptitude Test.
Private pilot licence is a practical training. A total of 60 hours of flying is needed of which 20 hours minimum should be solo and 5 hours cross country.
There is a theory examination also.
Commercial pilot licence requires flying training for 190 hours to complete 250 hours of flying.
