How do I choose a license type?

Ans:-

Understanding Your Aviation Goals

When you are deciding which pilot license type to pursue the most important factor is your career goal. If you only want to fly as a hobby then a Private Pilot License (PPL) is the right choice. But if your dream is to work with airlines or fly commercially then you must go for a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). Both options require specific eligibility conditions, so it is important to plan early.

Role of Pilot Class 2 Medical Certificate

Before you start training the first requirement is to get a Pilot Class 2 Medical Certificate. This certificate ensures you are medically fit to begin flying training. Without it you cannot even register for flight school. Once you progress toward a CPL, you will later need a Pilot Class 1 Medical Certificate but Class 2 is the foundation step for every student.

Training and License Selection

Your choice also depends on how much time and effort you want to invest PPL requires fewer flying hours compared to CPL. For CPL you need more flying experience and training under professional instructors. The decision must balance your financial investment future career path and passion for aviation.

Final Guidance

In simple terms first get your Pilot Class 2 Medical Certificate then decide based on your aviation goals. If flying is just a passion PPL is enough. But if you aim for a professional future with airlines you should work toward CPL. Both licenses offer unique opportunities but your dream and long-term plan will guide the correct choice.
