What is the procedure to apply for commercial pilot training?

Answer 1

You can study CPL in any country. But select a program as per the specifications of Indain DGCA.

Australia is the best country offering Indian CPL courses followed by USA

Cost will be around Rs.20-23 lakhs and duration is 52 wks

You can take CPL+CIR and ME Ratings with 200/210 flying hours . When you finish your course you can come back to India and convert your CPL to Indian CPL.

No graduation is required.

Pre Requisites to start training are the following

Minimum age 18 by the time you finish your training

+2 with science and Mathematics only if you are from India

Answer 2

Get a class III flight physical, an aircraft, an instructor and go fly. Actually don't even need the physical until you're ready to solo.

Answer 3

Follow the link below. There are many choices, just like with colleges. There is one on one training at your local airport, and there are formal institutions with classroom, lecture style instruction and a fleet of training aircraft. Most courses with either private or formal instruction will begin at the Private Pilot level and work up to more complex manuevers and more detailed instruction in the regulations that pertain to commercial and air carrier operations. Costs for the training is pretty much about $200-400 per hour which includes ground instruction, materials, flight instruction, aircraft rental, fuel and evaluations (check rides). Depending on the type of training (private or institutional) and the type of aircraft used (single, multi engine, complex, rotorcraft), location of the school and length of time it takes to complete your training, your costs will vary.

Answer 4

The first step would be to get a Class I flight physical (not a Class II or III.  If you're going to have a CPL, you want to know that you're going to pass the medical exam for it BEFORE you start training).  It doesn't cost any more, either.  The next step is to find a flight instructor near you, and compare prices if there are multiple choices.  Once you find an instructor that you like for a reasonable price, follow the curriculum that he or she lays out for you.  After around 15 hours you'll do your first solo.  You'll have to study at home to take the 60 question written test, and after about 50-60 hours of flight time you'll be ready for the private pilot checkride.  20 of these must be with an instructor, 10 must be solo, and 5 must be on a solo cross-country.  There is also a 3  hour night flight requirement that includes a 100 mile cross-country flight and 10 full stop landings.  In addition, you must have 3 hours of instrument training.  The absolute minimum is 40 hours at a part 61 school and 35 hours at a part 141/142 (typically professional flight academies) school, but the national average is around 80 hours.  I myself did it in 55, which is on the low end of the spectrum right now.  After getting your private license, start getting cross-country hours like crazy.  Take your friends and family flying every weekend and see if you can get them to share the costs with you.  The purpose of the cross-country hours is to start on the requirements for the instrument rating.  Once you have a little less than 50 hours of cross-country time as pilot in command, give your instructor a call and tell him that you want to start doing instrument training.  This requires 40 hours of simulated instrument time, which is usually done with a pair of view-restricting goggles.  After those 40 hours and a 50 question written test, you're ready for the checkride.  At this point you should have about 100-125 hours under your belt.  You need 250 hours to get a commercial pilot license.  Nearly all of the specific requirements for the commercial license are covered by the instrument rating, so you should just stock up on cross-country hours.  You can never have enough cross-country time, since most employers take this heavily into factor.  The commercial license requires that you have 10 hours of training in a complex aircraft, which must have a constant speed propeller, flaps, and retractable landing gear.  The test must also be taken in a complex aircraft.  Once you pass the commercial test, your career options are...almost nonexistent at this point.  If by 'commercial pilot' you mean airline pilot, you almost absolutely need to have a flight instructor certificate.  By giving flight lessons, you can earn the hours needed to meet the minimum hiring standards of an airline.  Most require a bare minimum of 500-1000 hours.  It is also a good idea to have a 4-year degree.  It's not a cheap road, nor is it easy.  Expect to pay around $10,000 for the private license, and I've estimated that it will cost me around $50,000 to become an instrument-rated commercial pilot with  certificated flight instructor-instrument and multi-engine instructor licenses.  Add that to the cost of college, and that's about how much it will cost to get the proper training.  Assuming you go to a state college that costs $15,000 a year, it will be about $120,000 for all the education you will need to be an airline pilot.  You can combine the two and go to an aeronautical university like Embry-Riddle, but that costs about $200,000 for a degree and the flight training.  It's also not a very fun place (I did a semester there).
