What is the difference in pursuing pilot training in India or aboard?

Hi Yogesh, To become a pilot, you need to do CPL (Commercial Pilot License) program. You can do this in India or abroad. The big advantage of doing this from abroad is the training schools have training runways whereas most Flying schools in India depend on National or International airports which are very busy throughout the year, making training aircraft the least priority for Air Traffic Controllers. Most students who go abroad are able to finish the CPL within a year whereas it could take 2 to 3 years to complete the course in India. You generally need to do the Theory for CPL and do about 200 hours of flying to become a Pilot in India. Australia and New Zealand are good places for doing CPL. In the city of Canterbury, New Zealand, you have one of the oldest flying schools, The Canterbury Aero Club. The school started in 1928 is a well-renowned place to pursue CPL and it would cost about 60,000 NZ $( about 24 lakhs) to do CPL. The general requirement is you should have completed 12th standard with Maths and Physics and should have done IELTS to enroll. You also should do a Class- I medicals to meet the Medical conditions. Do a program which consists of CPL with Instrument rating. You can complete the course within a year and then you can write the DGCA exams to qualify flying in India All the best!
