Hi Rudra,

There are various aviation courses in the flying schools and you can choose any one, your college degree matters less.

The steps to become or make someone a pilot are as follows:-

  • Get College Education in any discipline i.e. any course - Usually aerospace engineering, aeronautical mechanical engineering, physics or computer science provide a good educational base for pilots.
  • Gain Flying Hours - Go to a pilot training school and get at-least 250 hours of flight experience.
  • Earn a Pilot's License after 18 years of age - The applicant has to clear one written examination and a physical examination to ensure they have good vision and hearing as well as no physical impairments that might lead to crashes.
  • Complete Additional Tests and Training - Collect all airworthiness and medical certificates that are asked by Airlines.
  • Work as a Pilot - Generally, pilots hired at major airlines have around 4,000 hours of experience flying commercial planes but they may hire you as a co-pilot giving an opportunity to learn more. You may start your career flying charter planes or helicopters to gain experience.
  • Get advanced in the field - After 5 to 15 years of experience larger airline companies may approach you may work on senor ranks.

Hello,

To become a pilot the education qualification required is that the candidate needs to qualify 10+2 level with maths and physics and minimum of 50% aggregate. So Aeronautical or  Aerospace engineering doesn't matter you can peruse the course to become a pilot. Yes an Aeronautical Engineer can become a pilot. You need to join any Pilot academy and then become a pilot.
