Pilot Courses in India

With the aviation industry expanding, pilot courses are becoming popular among future pilots. Whether you want to fly commercial airlines or private jets or drones, enrolling in a course is the first step towards success.

Pilot courses equip students with the necessary skills to operate aircraft efficiently. These courses cover flight theory, navigation, meteorology, and aircraft systems. With a combination of practical flying experience and theoretical knowledge, students learn the tits and bits of aviation.


Types of Pilot Courses

There are some best pilot courses catering to diverse needs and qualifications. Some common courses include:

Aircraft

  • Private Pilot License (PPL): This is for people who want to fly private planes. This course requires 50-60 flying hours.
  • Commercial Pilot License (CPL): This is the most common course for people looking to become commercial pilots. It requires 250 flying hours and in-depth training.
  • Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL): This is the most advanced pilot course and is especially intended for people who want to work as Airline captains. You need 1500 hours of flight training.

Drone

  • Small Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC): This is a 5-day training course for beginners to get an RPC and become a drone Pilot in the small category (Weight up to 25 kg).
  • Medium Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC): This 5-day course is generally done for becoming a certified drone pilot in the medium category (Weight up to 50Kg).
  • Train the Trainer (TTT): This 4-day training course makes you eligible to become a Remote Pilot Instructor.

Eligibility Criteria

Before enrolling in any pilot course, it’s vital to understand the pilot course qualification requirements. Candidates need to complete 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics as subjects for CPL and PPL. As far as ATPL is concerned, one should hold a CPL and a graduate degree. Additionally, 17 years of age is set for PPL, 18 years for CPL and 21 years for ATPL. A medical examination is also mandatory for aspiring pilots.

Similarly, if we talk about the eligibility of the drone courses, one has to be at least 18 years of age. As far as educational qualifications are concerned, one has to be at least 10th passed to be eligible for Small and Medium RPC, and a person should at least be a graduate to become a drone instructor.


Pilot Course Fees

When considering pilot courses in India, the most important factor is the pilot course fees in India. This can vary depending on the institute, course, and duration. Averagely, the fees for a CPL can be from INR 25 lakh to INR 60 lakh. PPL courses generally fall between INR 5 lakh to INR 10 lakh.

If we talk about the costs of drone pilot courses, they range from 30k-45k, on the basis of the course chosen.


Additional Costs

On top of the course fees, pilots should be conscious of additional costs like examination fees, fuel surcharges, and simulator training costs. The pilot training fees in India can also vary on the basis of training aircraft/drones, affecting the overall pilot classes cost.


Choosing the Right Institute

The right flight school is vital for successful training. Look for DGCA-accredited institutions with a good safety record. Reviews from former students can offer valuable insights into the training offered.

The right pilot courses can provide essential skills to navigate this exciting field. It’s important to choose the program that best fits your goals. Understanding the pilot course qualification, pilot course fees in India will help you make an informed decision.
