Aftab’s Answer

As far as I can remember, to get started from scratch, here are the minimum requirements for getting a Private Pilot License in India or Pakistan
1. Student Pilot Permit Age. 16 years, PPL LICENSE MINIMUM AGE 18 Years
2. Valid class I or II Medical Certificate from Civil Aviation Aviation Authorized Flight Surgeon.
3. Join an Government Authorized Flight Training School for 25 Hours of Flight courses and Pass Private Pilot Written Exam Authorized by Civil Aviation Authority of a government
.4. 50 Hours of Dual Flight Trainng Minimum


First step is to acquire. Private Pilot License, folowed by CPL or Commercial Pilot License which is acquired by more Written, inflight training and cross country flight check by government Authorized Flight Instructors.


After CPL acquisition, you may apply for job in commercial airlines in India for job of " Airline Cadet Pilot" . The airline then send you to their ground trying school once again and train you on the airplanes owned by the airline to get ATPL , Airline Transport Pilot License.


Airline pilot Career is very rewarding but can be expensive and tedious but it is worth while to pursue. Good Luck

Steve’s Answer

The above comment is good. You have to have a minimum of 40 hours to get your private. Then you go forward to your instrument and commercial. You can combine some of that flight time. Then you get your muti engine if you want to go to the airlines. Then get your instructor rating and teach for a year or more to get the required hours. Things are changing, like in the above comment. Some airlines are hiring you and doing the training. That is not the way it normally works in the U.S. It can be a long process, and you dont start out with good pay or routes. You usually start in a commuter and have bread and water for meals because you are paying back your loans. Go to school full time if possible or join the military and let them train you for free.
