Hey, I'm an 18 year old from india. I have a huge desire to be a pilot not because of the salaries but because i love those giant machines. I've researched a lot for it.
Things I know
I have to join a DGCA recognised flying shool
i'll get a SPL from there.
then after getting an SPL i'll get my PPL
after getting my PPL i'll have to complete 200hours of flying(including Cross country, solo, night etc) then i'd have to clear an exam conducted by DGCA to get a CPL
This all will cost around 20L(according to my research)
Correct me if i'm wrong somewhere.
After getting my CPL i'd have to complete type rating on aircrafts like 737, a320 etc. I don't know the real expenses for this and I don't have any idea that where i'll do my type rating in India.
Some people say that type rating will cost around 40L that means my total expenses would be around 60L
Some people say that only possible way to be a pilot is to join airline's cadet programs. but they are expensive af!
QUITE EXPENSIVE THO :ugh:
SO HERE IS MY PLAN FOR DOING IT
I'm going to join maritime school for becoming a marine engineer. I'll save my earnings for my pilot training.
Mariners get around 10LPA. 4 years of job would be enough to meet the expenses easily as per my family's financial status.
This means that i'll be around 26 when i'll start my training.
Is it a good idea? Please Guide me. :rolleyes::confused::uhoh::{
