can i become commercial pilot after AME

Yes, you can definitely become a commercial pilot after completing an AME (Aircraft Maintenance Engineering) program. While AME itself qualifies you for a career in aircraft maintenance, it doesn't directly translate to becoming a pilot.

You need to meet the basic eligibility requirements for a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) in India, which includes:

• Minimum age of 18 years
  
  
• Class 1 Medical Certificate issued by a DGCA-approved Aviation Medical Examiner (AME)
  
  
• 12th standard pass with Physics and Mathematics (minimum marks may vary)
  
  
  
• Enroll in a DGCA-approved Commercial Pilot License (CPL) training program at a flying school in India.
  
  
• These programs typically involve ground studies in aviation theory, flight training with experienced instructors, and passing written and practical exams conducted by the DGCA.
  
  You need to accumulate a minimum number of flying hours (usually around 200 hours) as mandated by the DGCA for a CPL. Your AME knowledge might be helpful in understanding aircraft systems during flight training.
  
  Consider pursuing additional ratings like Multi-Engine Rating (MEL) or Instrument Rating (IR) to enhance your employability with airlines.
  
  
  
  • Your AME knowledge can be a valuable asset. You have a strong understanding of aircraft systems, maintenance procedures, and safety protocols – knowledge highly regarded by airlines.
    
    
  • It demonstrates your passion for aviation and technical aptitude, which can be a plus point during pilot training.
