Pilot Training

To become a commercial pilot:
1. You need to first possess a student pilot license. You must be over 17 years of age and have completed 12th in Science (Physics and mathematics) with 50%.
2. Your vision in one eye must be perfect. In general medical terminology, it is called 6/6 eyesight. In the other eye, you could have an imperfection of 6/9, which must be correctable to 6/6.
3. General physical fitness is mandatory. You must be free of any disease that can hamper normal function.
4. You need to register at a flying club which is recognised by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India.
5. Next is private pilot license which includes sixty hours of flying. A commercial pilot license may be obtained only after a PPL and 250 hours of flying. Some of the institutes offering commercial pilot training are:
1. Academy of Carver Aviation Private Limited, Pune.
2. All India Institute of Aeronautics, Dehradun.
3. Center for Civil Aviation Training (CCAT), Delhi.
4. Glorietta Aviation, Ghaziabad.
5. Fly Wings Aviation Private Limited, Mumbai. For more details, you may refer to the link mentioned below:

Basic prerequisites to apply for a pilot training programme are mentioned below. Please check for your eligibility from the criteria mentioned below:
You must complete class XII under the 10+2 system or its equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent marks in maths and physics. You must be at least 16 years of age to be eligible for a Student Pilot License, 17 for a Private Pilot License, and 18 for a Commercial Pilot License. Alternatively, you could directly enrol for the Private Pilot License once you have cleared class XII and are 17 years old. This involves taking an exam conducted by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation* consisting of theory papers on air navigation, aviation meteorology, air regulation and technical aspects. Your vision in one eye must be perfect. In general medical terminology, it is called 6/6 eyesight. In the other eye, you could have an imperfection of 6/9, which must be correctable to 6/6. General physical fitness is mandatory. You must be free of any disease that can hamper normal function. You need to complete the requisite number of hours, clear written papers and the medical examination. You need 70 percent marks to pass in each of these papers. You can keep appearing until you clear them. Note: The application form is available at all flying clubs. You can also write to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Send a self-addressed envelope, requesting them to send it back to you. Regards.

Without an airline transport pilot certificate, and with only a CPL and a few hundred hours to your name, you're very limited in what you can do for a living. Theoretically, the FAA lists all the careers a CPL-wielding pilot can legally perform. These include tasks like aerial application (crop dusting), pipeline patrol, banner tow, air charter (with a valid air operating certificate), sightseeing flights (with a valid FAA permit), aerial photography, traffic watch, and other such careers. Unfortunately, None of these careers is particularly lucrative, and while you may find gainful employment as, for example, a traffic watch pilot, you probably won't make enough to survive (and will have to take a second job). The most common next step for fresh CPL holders is to continue on towards getting their CFI and begin teaching at a local flight school. You'll probably make enough to quit your other job, and you'll be doing a lot of flying.
