can aeronautical engineer become a pilot..??... or only aerospace engineer??

The answer could be both a yes as well as no. Both completion of aeronautical engineering programme and acquiring a CPL is required for the dual career.

An aeronautical engineer can become pilots too but after acquiring a Commercial Pilot License . Aspiring candidates are required to appear in the entrance examination for CPL. If selected, they will undergo the pilot training. After successful completion of the training, they will be awarded with the flying license. 10+2 is the minimum requirement to appear in the CPL entrance examinations. Candidates can first complete a B.Tech. in aeronautical engineer and then appear in CPL entrance examination. Successful completion of both the courses is required to become an aeronautical engineer and fly planes as well.

Hi Rudra,

There are various aviation courses in the flying schools and you can choose any one, your college degree matters less.

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.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!

Hello,

To become a pilot the education qualification required is that the candidate needs to qualify 10+2 level with maths and physics and minimum of 50% aggregate. So Aeronautical or  Aerospace engineering doesn't matter you can peruse the course to become a pilot. Yes an Aeronautical Engineer can become a pilot. You need to join any Pilot academy and then become a pilot.
