Frequently Asked Questions

Ans:-

Yes you can pursue a pilot training course after completing your 12th grade provided you meet certain educational and medical criteria. In India the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) sets the standards for pilot training and the requirements vary depending on the type of pilot license you aim for.

Educational Requirements

  • Student Pilot License (SPL): For SPL the minimum educational qualification is the completion of 10th grade from a recognized board. At this stage subjects like Physics and Mathematics are not mandatory.

  • Private Pilot License (PPL): To obtain a PPL you must have completed 12th grade with Physics and Mathematics (PCM) from a recognized board. If you have completed 12th in streams other than Science, you can take bridge courses in Physics and Mathematics through the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) or an equivalent institution.

  • Commercial Pilot License (CPL): For a CPL the requirement is also 12th grade with PCM. However, if you have completed 12th in streams other than Science you can pursue bridge courses in Physics and Mathematics through NIOS or an equivalent institution.

Age and Medical Requirements

  • Minimum Age: You must be at least 17 years old to apply for a Student Pilot License. For a Commercial Pilot License, the minimum age is 18 years.

  • Medical Fitness: A Class 2 medical certificate is required for SPL and PPL while a Class 1 medical certificate is necessary for CPL. These certificates must be obtained from a DGCA approved medical examiner.

Recent Policy Changes

In a significant policy shift, the DGCA has approved a proposal to revise the educational eligibility criteria for commercial pilot training. This change will allow students who have completed Class 12 in the arts and commerce streams to pursue a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) ending a nearly 30-year restriction that limited CPL training exclusively to science stream students. The proposal is pending final approval from the Ministry of Civil Aviation.

While traditionally a science background with Physics and Mathematics has been required for pilot training recent policy changes are making it more inclusive. If you're passionate about aviation and meet the necessary educational and medical requirements, you can pursue a pilot training course after 12th regardless of your stream. It's advisable to stay updated with the latest DGCA guidelines and consult with recognized flight training organizations for the most accurate and current information.
