Dear Aspirant,

The job of a commercial pilot is  one having the most beneficial perk of a high salary that moves up rapidly with year of experience and on the international route. Also make sure you are your firm on your resolve on choosing the commercial pilot or the army that usually originate from the same stem. The commercial pilot training involved lakhs of rupees while clearing the NDA exam can grant you access to free training.

To become a commercial pilot, aspirants need to  complete their 10+2 and they should pass the  exam of the subjects physics, chemistry and maths with a minimum aggregate of fifty percent. You will then have to clear the Class 1 and Class 2 test by the DGCA

After the first step, the next step is to choose a training school where you will receive your formal training in the profession. The main investment will be in this step. Here is a list of some flying schools that offer the program:

Andhra Pradesh Flying Club Hyderabad Airport, Hyderabad

Assam Flying Club, Guwahati Airport, Guwahati

Madhya Pradesh Flying Club

Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi, Uttar Pradesh

Flying Training Institute, Behala, Calcutta

Most of these institutes have an entrance exam followed by a physical examination. Generally, the physical requirements are:

1. You height should be at least 5 feet.

2. You vision should be 6/6. Candidates are allowed to wear eyeglasses as long as their vision is correctable to 20/20.

3. You should not have fear of heights

Once your training course is complete, you can obtain the commercial pilot license (CPL), by which you are eligible to become a commercial plane pilot in India. After you have a CPL, you can fly for an airline in India as well.

Hope this helps. All the best.
