14 yrs old Mansour Anis from India recently became the youngest pilot to fly single-engine plane! Are you the next taking control of the flying cockpit?
Is Aviation your Ambition?
An aviator or an aircraft pilot is a person who controls the flight of an aircraft by operating its directional flight controls.
Flying across the world and controlling some of the most sophisticated aircrafts, for many, is a dream job. In addition to this, the opportunity to travel and experience new cultures, combined with a rewarding lifestyle definitely make it an exciting career choice.
According to research by aerospace giant Boeing, the world will need an additional 637,000 qualified pilots by 2036. As people across the globe continue to fall in love with travel, demand is skyrocketing – especially in expanding markets such as Asia-Pacific, making this a fine career option. For those of you considering a future with wings, here are a few insights to help you get started on this journey.
What kind of aircrafts can you fly?
As a pilot, you can fly commercial aircrafts, helicopters, rescue planes, cargo and jet planes. But remember, the pivotal role of a pilot is much more than just flying the plane.
As a pilot…
Before you consider embarking on any pilot training and earn an Airline Transport Pilot’s License, here are few things you must know:
What are the requirements?
Course options:
Pilot courses are offered by different flying schools around the world. In fact, India is the biggest hub for flying aspirants with numerous colleges offering courses in aviation. Make sure you do your research well while selecting an institution. In India, your course needs to be affiliated to DGCA.
Here are some recognized institutions in India that offers pilot training courses:
Once you obtain the necessary education and fulfil all the requirements, you can apply for a pilot’s license. There are three types of license you can earn according to your requirement.
Top Recruiters:
At present, there is an emerging requirement in the airline industry for qualified individuals. The best part is the variety of choice that is available – you can choose to become a corporate pilot (flying only company airplanes), agriculture pilot (for crop dusting) or become a full time commercial pilot. Or you could even think of having career in the Indian Air Force. Some of the top commercial recruiters are:
AirAsia, Air India, Jet Airways, Air Costa, SpiceJet, IndiGo, Lufthansa, National Aviation Company of India and many more. So, get set and start the preparations for your dream job!

I’m in Grade 9 and I’m currently using the BYJUs app to a great extent and it’s awesome… I’m an aspiring pilot and I’m aiming for a CPL and a license for either the Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 and I have experience in Flight Simulations with PMDG and Aerosoft
Would it be a good idea to finish college graduation and then move forward for an aviation university or should I just finish it off at 12th grade?

This is quite an useful information but
i didn’t think so everyone afford to be a
Pilot because the minimum fees is 40 lakhs
in IGRU. In other flying academy it is
higher. I drop my dream to be a pilot.
But if anyone wanted to be a pilot join
air defence.

Hi I am Rohit from class 11.Thank you
so muchfor providing this information.
Also for the guys who have the same
ambition to become a pilot,you just
Google ‘aeroplane parts and
functions pdf site http://www.nasa.hq.com‘.
You can find more about the same in
this page.Best of luck guys???✈✈✈.
Also I have a question to the author,
that is, nowadays, the CPL pilots are
getting jobs who have 1500 hours of
flying aeroplane.so I think that
250 hours of flying is not necessary,
as it needs 1500hours. I have read
about this in Quora.Is it true?
