How i get commecial pilot licence?

Ambika Sharma 24th Jun, 2018
Hello Nadim

Before applying for commercial pilot license you must qualify its eligibility criteria.

Eligibility Criteria
Commercial pilot applicants must be at least 18 years old, be able to read, speak, write and understand English, and hold at least a private pilot certificate.

Next step is to get a 2nd class medical certificate. Since you must have a private pilot certificate to begin commercial training, the chances are good that you already hold an aviation medical certificate. If it's a 3rd Class medical, you may want to get a 2nd Class medical certificate. You'll need atleast a 2nd Class medical certificate to utilize your commercial pilot privileges.

Next just like with the private pilot certificate, you'll want to get the written exam out of the way early in your commercial pilot training. That way, you'll have the extra knowledge in your head already, and it will also serve as a refresher if you've taken some time off. Once your written exam is completed, you can focus on flying.

After that a commercial pilot applicant needs to demonstrate proficiency, but also needs to have some experience. To obtain a commercial pilot certificate under CFR Part 61, you'll need at least 250 flight hours, including 100 hours of pilot-in-command time and 50 hours of cross-country flight. Also, you'll need to get at least 10 hours of instrument training and 10 hours in a complex aircraft.

At last once you've mastered the commercial flight maneuvers to the new standards and learned all about the privileges and limitations of the commercial pilot certificate, your instructor will sign you off for the checkride. Since you've taken checkrides before, you know what to expect: a couple of hours of groundwork for the verbal portion of the exam and a quick flight is all it takes. And after that you will definitely get your license.


Best of luck

Tell me total cost for becoming an commercial pilot through igrua

Siimran Pal 30th May, 2018


Hello,

The fee charged is Rs38 Lacs whereas the cost of training of CPL at IGRUA is more than 45 Lacs. The  gap is made up by the Government. There is no other subsidy or relaxation in training fee available to any candidate including SC,ST and OBC.

he Ministry of Tribal affairs has removed CPL Course from the Scheme of Scholarship for Top Class Institutes, hence no scholarships are assured to ST Candidates. However, the ST candidates may check with their State Government for Scholarship scheme. Please check with the Ministry for  latest updates.

The Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment  provides Scholarships  to five SC  candidates on MERIT CUM MEANS BASIS under Central Sector Scholarship Scheme of TOP Class Education for SC students each year.

The Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment provides Approximately Rs.2200/- per month towards boarding & lodging expenses whereas the Boarding – lodging and other expenses is approximately Rs 10000/- per month, therefore, the Balance of expenditure is to be borne by the candidates.

Some State Governments provide scholarship to reserve category candidates of their states. IGRUA can  only forward the application to the  respective State Governemtns. The candidates may approach their State Governments for the same.

The Akademi has no tie up with any bank for providing loan to trainees for doing CPL course at IGRUA. The Akademi provides help to candidates in getting loan by way of certificates regarding selection/Bonafide trainee and training fee and other expenses details.  The candidates have to approach banks themselves and complete loan formalities.

I hope this helps

All the best

what should i do for being a commercial pilot or to get job related to flying lik air force and all

Helsi Merulia 9th Jun, 2018

Thanks for query

A commercial pilot requires much more than passion though. This is a highly specialized profession which requires extensive knowledge of air navigation, meteorological report and operating highly sophisticated technology. All this while being the protector and leader to the flight crew and passengers under all kinds of conditions while flying in a metal box, thousands of feet above the ground! Not for the faint-hearted for sure. You can check the below link.

I want do become a commercial pilot from abroad

Vivek 15th Mar, 2018

Hello Tushar,

First of all, you have to get SPL(Student Pilot Licence), then PPL(Private Pilot Licence) and after that CPL(Commercial Pilot Licence) with Multi Engine​ Instrument Rating. This will cost you around INR 30-40 on an average. This doesn't include the accomodations , travelling expense and others.

Better is to do IIT in Aerospace Engineering and you will be getting further golden chance.

Thank you.
