          So, read below to know more- know accurate!

          Become a pilot today! @a2zblog.in

          How to Become a Pilot in India?

          Broadly, there are two paths for you to step into the aviation world as a Pilot. They are as below:

          Route 1: Civil Aviation (Non-Military Aviation/ Commercial Pilot);
          Route 2: Indian Defence Forces (Air Force)

          Not everything comes easy. Wait for it, have patience. You’ll do it. @a2zblog.in

          Let’s take a closer look at both to understand how to become a Pilot in India.

          Route 1: Civil Aviation/ Commercial Pilot

          The minimum age to apply for Pilot License, are as follows:

          • It consists of an Oral test and will be taken by the Chief Instructor at the School

          The particulars regarding flying training have been provided below –

          C) Acquire Commercial Pilot License in India

          A Commercial Pilot is a pilot who flies a specific aircraft type for an airline and holds a commercial pilot certificate issued by an authority.

          • In India, the authority is the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

          Being a commercial pilot comes with a lot of responsibility. Taking aircrafts from point A to point B in the fastest and the safest way possible.

          Airline Industry has one of the highest revenues in India. @a2zblog.in

          So, if you wish to enter this career path, or know someone who does, you are at the right place.

          Subject Requirements to Become a Commercial Pilot

          Educational requirements- To pursue Aviation as a career, you need to opt for science stream.

          • Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry being compulsory subjects.
          • If you do not have Physics and Math’s in your higher secondary, then after completing or alongside that you have the option of doing these two subjects from National Institute of open Schooling.

          And, later begin your Pilot training course that permits you to take off flights approved by various flying clubs.

          Entrance Examinations to Become a Commercial Pilot

          Serve your best, it take worth time to be worthy. @a2zblog.in

          Some of the leading institutes for pursuing an Aviation course:

          ● National Flying Training Institute, Gondia
          ● Bombay Flying Club, Mumbai
          ● Ahmedabad Aviation & Aeronautics Ltd., Ahmedabad

          Learn and earn. There’s no way the otherwise. @a2zblog.in
          Note: Every institute has their respective specifications. They concerning physical fitness, and eyesight specifically.

          Commercial Helicopter Pilots

          • The ones who need to fly a helicopter need to have Commercial Helicopter Pilot License or CPL (H).
          • The license can be acquired after completing the formal training for prescribed hours and clearing exams on aviation subjects.
          The career prospects for Helicopter flyers are more. Also, they have better chances to be recruited by large enterprises. They can also be taken up by helicopter companies, Public Sector Organisations, Security or Protective Agencies. 

          But, here’s the golden secret that no one mentions to you!

          Before you fly an Indigo airplane, you need to get an Airline Transport Pilot License.
          • Commercial ones can not fly AIRLINE planes without a TYPE RATING which is equally necessary.

          Join Airlines and travel the world. Live a life dream-able. @a2zblog.in

          So, the requirement goes in this order:

          1) Commercial Pilot License
          It as per above mentioned steps.
          Once you clear all your DGCA exams and Interview. You will receive your Commercial Pilot License.
          After, you can move on thinking about getting into Airlines. But, be ready to bear the same (less or more nearly) cost twice again!
          2) TYPE RATING on a particular aircraft
          It is the type rating that depends on the airline and aircraft factors based on which type of rating will be given. One must bear the expenses for the type rating.
          3) Airline Transport Pilot License
          Get an ATPL (Air Transport Pilot License) for which one needs to have a fly time of 1500 hours. Most Airlines, after you acquire your proper Type rating, provide you with training on their aircraft itself. But again, they will charge you heavily for the same.
          In short, you might have to end taking huge LOANS in order to fulfill your dream of being an Airline Pilot!

          How to become a Pilot in India? (II)

          Lastly, I would like to add that, no one field is better than the other. Just follow your dream.

          Both the fields would require you to possess good decision-making skills, perseverance and the ability to understand and cope with abnormal situations.

          So, if you are determined, and possess these qualities, then I would encourage you to think of making a career in this field and fly in 3-Dimensional space.
