How to Become a Pilot in India: Complete Roadmap
The short roadmap
- Complete class 12 with Physics and Mathematics if you are heading for a CPL.
- Get a medical certificate from an approved aviation medical examiner.
- Join a flying school that is approved by the regulator.
- Clear ground exams: air navigation, meteorology, regulations, technical papers and RTR(A).
- Build flying hours and complete the required training for the commercial licence.
- Apply for the CPL, then add ratings such as instrument and multi-engine.
- Get a type rating for the airliner you will fly when you join an airline.
Where to save money and time
Prepare ground exams on your own with good study material so that you do not repeat attempts. The RTR exam is one of the quickest to clear with focused practice.
