Pilot Training

Hello,
To become an Aircraft Mechanic or an Aviation Technician, one gas to undergo three years AME course after completion of 10+2 with physics & mathematics. These courses are conducted by many institutions in India. In some places, there is entrance exam while at others admission is based on marks obtained in 12th exam. Once eligible, a student can select either of the two streams of mechanical or avionics. Merely passing the course does not make one eligible to work on the aircraft straight away. One needs to obtain a license issued by DGCA. Only license holders are allowed to work on aircraft. With the boom in the aviation sector, many Indian carriers have placed orders for aircraft. All these will require license holders to maintain. Thus in near to medium term prospects of AME are quite good. Depending on the company, one can expect a salary of about Rs. 50K.

Just to correct your question, there are no colleges when you come to CPL, you usually do a CPL course from flying schools.
Flying schools charges are based on fuel prices, fleet, instructors, navigational facilities available, ground classes and the infrastructure available.
There are many flying clubs in India that offer CPL training, the once which you should try firstly are as under:
1. Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Udaan Academy - http://igrua.gov.in/Financial Assistance.htm
2. CAE Gondia - http://www.caeoaa.com/gondia/#.Wjok-5_hXqA
3. Chimes Aviation - https://www.caaindia.com
4. AAA Aviation - http://www.aaa.co.in
5. Nagpur Flying Club - Hangar No. 1, Wardha Rd, Near Airport, Adcajent to DBAI Airport, Sonegaon, Nagpur, Maharashtra 440005
6. MPFC Indore - http://www.mpfc.in
7. BFC , Mumbai - http://thebombayflyingclub.com
8. MPFC Bhopal - http://www.mpfc.in
The fee structure is not fixed hence. Still for Cessna 152 the per hour charge is approximately INR 7000 - 9000.
For Cessna 172 it ranges from INR 9000 - 11000.
And for most multi engine aircrafts the per hour charge ranges from INR 15000 - 20000.
You will have to complete 200 hours to get a CPL license issued by DGCA India.
The accommodation, transportation and documentation charges are paid above the per hour charge. So decide wisely. Good luck.

There are some airlines who actually hire candidates who have a commercial pilot license and the selection process includes:
1. Technical Exam
2. Compass Test
3. Interview
4. Medicals
5. Induction.
Some airline also put Psychometric test and group discussion as a part of their selection procedure.
Others who look for candidates with Type Rating on certain fleet like Airbus or Boeing or ATR, fo for simulator check and interview followed by medicals.
You may target vacancies for CPL holders which are comparatively less in numbers when compared to those of type rated pilots.
So, after CPL, you may have to go for type rating depending on which airline you are targeting and of course, the decision shall also be influenced by the current market.
So, extra expenses after CPL is of getting type rated on any particular fleet to get a job.

Definitely, you can join a pilot training course. The basic eligibility criteria for candidates who are looking to pursue pilot's training course is to have completed 10+2 exam from any recognise board / universities, with physics, chemistry and maths as their subjects.
As far as age is concerned, you should have attained at least 18 years of age at the time of joining such course which I'm sure, you would have.
B.Tech in any stream is not at all required to become a pilot. In fact, no graduation is required to become a commercial pilot.
In case you are eyeing the pilot vacancies that are announced in defence sectors, may it be Air force or Navy or The Indian Army. They usually ask you to be a graduate preferably in science streams. But they have a very strict regulation on the age of the candidate.
They recruit through CDS, NDA and AFCAT for defence pilots.
Good luck.

To become a pilot, you should first be aware of the eligibility. This is decided on what subjects have you taken in class 12th.It requires PCM to be a pilot. And, even if you have not opted for the same, then you can appear separately for these subjects and become eligible.
Further, you should be aware that you are medically fit to be a pilot, so I would suggest you to visithttp://www.dgca.nic.in/medical/medical-ind.htmand go to the class 2nd examiners tab to find out doctors who will examine you for initial fitness. You can visit any doctorate from the list as per your convenience.
Once you are done with Class 2nd medical, find out a suitable flying club for you as per your convenience. You can fly in India or Abroad. I would suggest you fly in India.
Besides finding the Club, be aware that you will have to appear for:
1. Air Navigation
2. Aviation Meteorology
3. Air Regulations
4. Aviation Technical
5. Aircraft Specific
6. Radio Telephony
Here, 1-5 are conducted by DGCA and 6 is conducted by WPC. Prepare for these subjects and appear, as exams are conducted every quarterly. For preparation, Flying Club will help you or there are private instructors available in Metro Cities as well.
You will fly for 200Hrs + Clear DGCA and WPC exams + Clear Class 1st medical, then you shall get your CPL. The next license is ATPL, which you shall be able to apply for once.
You will then have to probably fund or self-sponsor your type rating on whatever fleet you are selected in an airline.
Then, you finally get a job as a pilot.
I hope the process is well explained to you.
CPL is an expensive affair. It might cost you around Rs.18-20Lacs for flying + DGCA exams Rs.500/- each exam + Medicals for Rs.10,000 + endorsements and license issue fees around Rs.25k + Type Rating around Rs.15Lacs.
So decide wisely before you enter the field.

Hope this information helps you. Good Luck

Basic prerequisites-You must complete Class XII under the 10+2 system or its equivalent with a minimum of 50 per cent 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 enroll for the Private Pilot License once you have cleared Class XII and are 17 years old.

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.

Hello,
Indian Aviation Academy, based in Andheri suburb of Mumbai offers 10 different types of courses related to aviation. Besides course for Commercial Pilot Licence or CPL, the academy offers other courses related to aviation also. It's flying training is carried out from Juhu airport of Mumbai. It boasts of trained faculty as well as ISO certification. The attached link can give some more information if required.

On the other hand, Ahmedabad Aviation and Aeronautics, Ahmedabad is based in Ahmedabad with access to the airport here as well as access to the airport at Mehasana. This contingency enables this academy to complete flying syllabus earlier than many other flying schools. As per my knowledge, this would definitely be an advantage. The attached link will give further information if required.

To conclude, I would recommend academy at Ahmedabad for it's access to two airfields and also the availability of a larger number of airplanes for the purpose of training.

Hello,
As per the information available on the net and some other sources, All India Institute of Aeronautics appears to be better than Kompass Aviation.All India Institute of Aeronautics offers course for commercial pilot besides hosting many other courses. It has a tie up with government Flying School in Bhuvaneshwar and some other flying schools in Phillipines and Canada. This perhaps will ensure that the required 220 hours of flying could be completed in the stipulated time. This institute has been established more than 10 years ago in 2006. However, to be on cautious side, information about faculty is not readily available.
On the other hand Kompass Aviation, with address in Janakpuri, Delhi does not give out any information. No information about any tie up with other flying school is available.
Hence, I would recommend AIIA as compared with Kompass, Delhi.
