Ans:-

The commercial pilot license cost in India generally ranges between INR 35 to INR 55 lakhs. This includes all training ground classes flying hours simulator sessions and essential equipment.

How is this cost broken down

  • Ground + flying training simulator & aircraft charges: INR 35,00,000 - INR 55,00,000

  • Medical exams & renewals (DGCA Class 1 medical): INR 50,000 - INR 1,00,000

  • DGCA theory exams license fees: INR 50,000 - INR 1,00,000

  • Accommodation food hostel / rent: INR 2,00,000 - INR 5,00,000

  • Books uniforms headset materials: INR 50,000 - INR 1,00,000

  • Miscellaneous (insurance travel extra hours visa): INR 1,00,000 - INR 2,00,000

So when you add all that up the average cost to become a pilot (specifically for a commercial pilot certificate) lands in that ballpark.

  • Different flight schools / academies charge differently

  • How many flying hours / simulator hours are mandatory
