Hii...

The answer is yes you can become a commercial pilot after Aerospace engineering .. but before that you have to attend ground training.... to becoming a pilot a bachelor degree in aircraft and other related courses like aerospace engineering required as you have already know how to aircraft to work so you can become a commercial pilot after completing your aerospace engineering...

All the best!!

Hi,

It is though a good option to do a diploma as it might give you a specialisation certificate but I would suggest you to pass in class 12 first because without your class 12 certificate, you may not be allowed to pursue your future as a commercial pilot or be it any other course you choose. You should definitely concentrate on one i.e. passing in class 12 because since the syllabus will be different for both, it might be difficult to handle.

Hello dear student, 

Greetings! 

Both the field i.e merchant navy and commercial pilot are good and both offers good career prospects and excellent growth opportunities.

A career in merchant navy is a unique blend of variety encompassed in a single domain. By opting for a merchant navy career, individuals can combine a lot of different facets and gain a lot of exposure in terms of professionalism, adaptability and travel. 

There are very few lines of work around the world that pay the kind of salary to entry level officers as the merchant navy does. A very big incentive for anyone to take up a profession is the allure of pay-packages and salaries. Starting at about US$ 1,500 and extending up to about US$ 3,000 per month. Note that this is notwithstanding the training period for approximately a year wherein a stipend is paid out ranging between $500 to $800.

Coming to commercial pilot, Commercial pilots usually need a high school diploma or equivalent. Airline pilots need a bachelor's degree. Allpilots who are paid to fly must have at least a commercial pilot's license from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Pilot salaries vary according the type of aircraft that they're flying and how long they've been at an airline. The median annual salary for the pilot of a large jet is an impressive $121,408. For a small jet, the median annual salary is $104,219. Non-jet aircraft pilots makesignificantly less.There are many pilots out there that make a very good salary, but you can bet that they've put in their time. So if you're getting into aviation for the money, you may want to consider a different career path.

Commercial airline pilots are responsible for the safety of passengers, cargo, and their aircraft. ... They also communicate with team members such as the ground crew and dispatcher; if flying for a passenger airline, they also communicate with the flight crew and passengers.

So , I suggest you to take some time and tqke a decision based upon your interests .

thankyou 

Hello Aspirant,

Hi Stavan,

I understand that you are aspiring to become a commercial pilot in the near future and I would guide you for giving you an approach to achieve your dream. So the prerequisites of becoming a pilot are to have sound knowledge of Physics and Mathematics and to be from Science background. So, firstly you have to complete your class XII from any board in the science stream and have at least 60 percent of marks in Physics and Mathematics. After meeting these requirements you need to get done a Class I Medical from the list of doctors mentioned at the site of DGCA( Directorate General of Civil Aviation), the governing body to issue flying licenses to pilots. After fulfilling these requirements, you have to get yourself enrolled in any of the flight training schools of India and complete the flying courses and fulfilling flying hours to get your PPL(Private Pilot License) and CPL( Commercial Pilot License). Once all these are done and you have your flying license, you can apply to any commercial airlines for the position of a commercial pilot.

BEST WISHES!
