Aeroplane Pilot is still on the Skilled Occupation List, under Schedule 2. This means that it is an occupation available for state or territory sponsorship under their State Migration Plans but, as it is not on Schedule 1, it is not available for a Skilled Independent visa.
So, in order to obtain a skilled migration visa as pilot you will need to find a state that has Aeroplane Pilot on their skilled migration occupation list and apply for an appropriate visa. However, simply being in an occupation on the SOL is no longer enough to get a visa, you need to demonstrate that you have experience in that, or a closely related, occupation - the longer you have been doing it the more points you get. If you're sponsored under a State Migration Plan you will be obliged to live and work in that state for 2 years.
The Australian Immigration website has loads of information on the visa pathway. As I say, for a positive skill assessment from CASA you will need to hold an Australian licence,
this all the information you need for the process. I believe the Australian visa system changes in July to an expression of interest scheme which will lead to much longer waits for visas. Currently, if you are state sponsored, the visa issue process is as little as 1 month.
