How to become a poilet in indian ?iam going to complete my grade 12

Hello Gnana,

Qualifications to become a pilot:

For Indian Air Force

• Minimum qualification: SSC or HSC
• Minimum Age: 18 years
• Excellent English language skills
• Very high physical and mental fitness standards as defined by Indian Air Force
• You need to pass entrance exams to qualify for basic airman training with Indian Air Force.

For Private institutions

• Minimum qualifications: SSC or HSC
• Maximum age: 18 years
• Excellent English language skills
• Level-2 medical and mental fitness certificate
• Basic entrance exam at some private flying schools
• First you have to get 55% in 10+2 with physics and maths after that you have to verify your marksheet from cbse.

There are many types of pilot. Choose the one that you want to become.

Types of pilot

• Helicopter pilots: Those who fly civilian or military helicopters.
• Fighter/ combat pilots: Pilots trained to fly fighter planes at supersonic speeds.
• Commercial pilots: Highly experienced pilots flying passenger aircraft.
• Sports/ Amphibian pilots: Pilots capable of taking off and landing hydroplanes over water.
• Freighter pilots: Crew who fly gigantic freighter aircraft.
• Balloonists: Hobbyists who soar into the skies using hot air balloon.
• Surveillance pilots: Extremely skilled military pilots who fly at extreme altitudes.
• Hobby aviators: People who own and pilot their small, propeller aircraft.
• Test pilots: Extremely skilled daredevils who test new models of aircraft.
• Space pilots: Usually former military pilots trained to fly space shuttles.

Then do the following things:

• Check if you are medically fit. Get your Class 2 and Class 1 medical from DGCA. This will help you in knowing if you are fit before you invest a lot of money.
• Start applying to flight training schools. First preference to Cadet Pilot Programs, then IGRUA, then flying schools in US.

Do check the Cadet Pilot Program websites for more info like cost etc. You have to spend a significant amount. If you are going for flying schools in US, make sure there are Indians getting trained there and if they have programs specific for DGCA requirements.

Hope this helped you!!

Thank you
