Understanding the Age Criteria for Pilot Licenses

In India the journey to becoming a commercial pilot involves progressing through different licenses each with its own minimum age requirement. You can begin your training by obtaining a Student Pilot License (SPL) when you’re 16 years old. This allows you to start supervised flight training. Next you’re eligible for a Private Pilot License (PPL) at 17 years, which permits you to fly solo and gain foundational experience. However to officially obtain a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) the qualification required to fly professionally you must be at least 18 years old at the time of application.

Why You Can’t Get a CPL Before Turning 18 (But You Can Start Training)

Though you can’t hold a CPL until you’re 18 being under 18 doesn’t stop you from preparing or starting training. In fact, you can begin flight training and accumulate necessary hours well before your 18th birthday. Many aspiring pilots enroll in DGCA approved flying schools at 17 working toward prerequisites like theory exams (e.g. Air Regulations, Meteorology, Navigation) and medical certification (Class I & II) in parallel with their flying hours.

Age: Minimum 18 years (you can start at 17)  Basic Requirements  Medical Get a Class 1 and Class 2 Medical Certificate.

This reflects the typical preparatory pathway by the time you turn 18 you’ll likely have completed much of the groundwork and be ready to officially apply for your CPL. In

If you’re currently under 18, you absolutely can begin your journey starting with SPL, then PPL, medical exams, theory training,and flight hours. But to legally obtain your Commercial Pilot License you must wait until you turn 18 years old.
