Answer 2

Cost: If you enrolled in flight school in India; then, it will cost you anywhere from 18 to 22 lakhs. In USA, it will be around 22 to 24 lakhs including housing and food and transportation.

Duration: Indian, it will take 2 to 3 years depending on availability of instructor, airplane and weather condition. In USA it will take 6 to 10 months except instructor and plane availability is not a problem with the schools in USA.

Flight Training: You need to obtain private pilot license first. It requires 60 hours of flying then need to obtain instrument rating then commercial pilot license. Total of 200 hrs of flight time for CPL. Flight schools in India does not need to provide CPL training in complex aircraft. Benefit of obtaining CPL training in USA would be that you would receive 10 hours of your CPL training in a complex aircraft (aircraft with retractable landing gear and variable pitch prop). You need to pass air regulation, air navigation, aviation meteorology and technical written test conducted by the DGCA for PPL and CPL.

Job Prospect: Currently there is significant shortage of qualified pilots in India, China, East Asia and Middle East, Europe and USA. Starting salary of a pilot is 1.5 to 2.0 lakhs per month in India.
