Understanding Pilot Eligibility in India

Becoming a pilot in India requires meeting specific criteria set by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). These criteria encompass age educational qualifications medical fitness and the number of flying hours varying based on the type of pilot license.

Age Requirements

  • Student Pilot License (SPL): Minimum age of 16 years.

  • Private Pilot License (PPL): Minimum age of 17 years.

  • Commercial Pilot License (CPL): Minimum age of 18 years.

  • Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL): Minimum age of 21 years.

Educational Qualifications

  • SPL & PPL: Must have passed Class 10 from a recognized board.

  • CPL & ATPL: Must have passed Class 12 with Physics Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) from a recognized board or possess an equivalent polytechnic diploma.

For those who did not study PCM in school completing these subjects through the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) or an equivalent board is acceptable.

Medical Fitness

These medical assessments evaluate vision hearing blood pressure and overall physical condition to ensure fitness for flying.

Flying Hours

  • SPL: No minimum flying hours required.

  • PPL: Minimum of 40 hours of flying time.

  • CPL: Minimum of 200 hours of flying time.

  • ATPL: Minimum of 1500 hours of flying time.

These hours include solo cross country and instrument flying, depending on the license type.

In a significant policy shift the DGCA has proposed allowing Class 12 graduates from arts and commerce streams to pursue a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). This change aims to broaden access to aviation careers and address pilot shortages aligning with international norms and the National Education Policy 2020.
