If you join pilot training soon after completing your 12th grade (with Physics & Mathematics) the typical timeline looks like this:

  1. Ground school + flying training for CPL Becoming a commercial pilot license (CPL) holder usually takes about 18 to 24 months. This includes ground classes (DGCA theory modules such as Air Regulations Meteorology Navigation Aircraft Technical Radio Telephony and instrument flying theory) and the required flying hours minimum 200 hours with dual solo cross country, night and instrument flying. Some fast track students with consistent flying schedules favourable weather and access to aircraft can sometimes finish in 15–18 months.

  2. Type rating and airline preparation After earning your CPL there is typically a further period of type rating training on a specific aircraft (for example Airbus or Boeing) plus airline interview and training preparation. PilotCET estimates that this phase adds a few more months to the overall timeline.

  3. Overall estimate Combining both phases CPL training and airline?ready training the website estimates that a student can reach airline job readiness in about 3 years from the point of 12th grade.

Important caveats

  • The actual timeline can vary significantly depending on weather delays aircraft and instructor availability your personal progress medical certification delays DGCA exam schedules and performance and whether you opt for an integrated or modular training path.

  • If you train very intensively fly regularly pass theory exams on the first attempt and minimize non flying downtime you might finish closer to 2½ years or even a bit less.

  • On the other hand delays gaps between flights, seasonal weather interruptions, exam re attempts or limited aircraft availability might stretch the duration to 3½ years or more.
