Hello Aspirant,

If you want to be a Pilot in India then either you can be a Commercial Pilot or you can be a Fighter pilot in India Air Force, so let us discuss the different ways for both types of pilots.

To become a commercial pilot you must have a commercial pilot license and it is issued to the candidates by Directorate General of Civil Aviation, there are three steps which one should follow in order to a commercial pilot license :-

>> Step 1 :- A written examination is conducted to test the knowledge of students in subjects like Physics and Mathematics.

>> Step 2 :- You have to appear for Pilot Aptitude Test where your technical skills regarding the field of aviation will be checked.

>> Step 3 :- You have to appear for Personal interview and Medical examination conducted by DGCA Officials.

Now for fighter pilot in IAF you have some entrance exams like AFCAT, CDSE, NDA and NCC.

hi,

fly training schools in India are approved by DGCA, and you must have physics and mathematics in 12th course to become a pilot. if  you want to become a pilot in India after completing training from Indian institute, then  physics and maths are compulsory subjects. An individual is required to pass these in order to be a pilot in India. however admission of flying outside of India then its quite possible without Maths and Physics.

Hello candidate,

A pilot is a trained professional who responsible for flying the flights, or remaining in the cockpit as an assistant backup driver.

Is the pilot also has an aero maintenance degree, then he can also apply in the maintenance section of the flight companies whose job is basically to take care of their spare parts and making the flight ready for the smooth running of operations.

Hope It was Informational!!

Hi student,

There are various aviation courses in the flying schools and you can choose any one, your college degree matters less. Also, you require a bachelors degree you can't be a pilot after passing 10th.

The steps to become or make someone a pilot are as follows:-

• Get College Education in any discipline i.e. any course - Usually aerospace engineering, aeronautical mechanical engineering, physics or computer science provide a good educational base for pilots.
• Gain Flying Hours - Go to a pilot training school and get at-least 250 hours of flight experience.
• Earn a Pilot's License after 18 years of age - The applicant has to clear one written examination and a physical examination to ensure they have good vision and hearing as well as no physical impairments that might lead to crashes.
• Complete Additional Tests and Training - Collect all airworthiness and medical certificates that are asked by Airlines.
• Work as a Pilot - Generally, pilots hired at major airlines have around 4,000 hours of experience flying commercial planes but they may hire you as a co-pilot giving an opportunity to learn more. You may start your career flying charter planes or helicopters to gain experience.
• Get advanced in the field - After 5 to 15 years of experience larger airline companies may approach you may work on senor ranks.

Telling total fee will not be possible as the fees is variable at every single place.

I hope this information helps you.

Hello,

You will be eligible foe the Student Pilot License (SPL) as the eligibility criteria states that the candidate should have attained the age of 16 years and should have a minimum qualification of Class 10th passed. But to fly the planes you need either Private Pilot License (PPL) or Commercial Pilot License (CPL) and to get these the candidate should have passed their 10+2 level exam. So diploma students are not eligible for those. If you still want to become a pilot then you can complete your 10+2 level in the open schooling with Physics and Math as compulsory subjects. Only then you will be eligible for the  Private Pilot License (PPL) or Commercial Pilot License (CPL).

Hello candidate,

The training fees for becoming commercial pilot is generally pretty high, there are multiple sources from which a candidate can apply for financial aid.

The best option is to go for education loan at a low interest rate from various banks such as State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank,etc.

Coming on to the countries where training fees is less than India are- Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Morocco, are some of them.

Hope it was informational!!
