Hi Lot,

It is great to see that you are interested in becoming a commercial pilot and I am here to tell you the procedure of doing so.

First of all, you need to pass your 10+2 examination with mathematics and Physics as your main subjects. You need to be at least 152 cm tall to be a commercial pilot. After that, you have to get your Medical Class 2 examination done which will judge your medical condition and if you are fit enough to become a pilot. The Medical class 1 will be conducted by your flying school.

Then, you join a suitable flying school for your Commercial Flying Licence. This will be a course of around 3-4 years of duration and will require you to clear examinations on 6 subjects:

• Technical General
• Technical Specific
• Navigations
• Meterology
• Radio Telephony

you will also have to do about at least 220 hours of flying using a virtual aeroplane simulator. When your institute is confident enough in you, you will receive your Commercial Pilot License and will be allowed to fly commercially. The total cost of this course is about 30-40 lakhs and commercial pilots make about 1.5 lakhs per month in the beginning and as they gain experience, they can earn upto 5-6 lakhs a month.
