Hello Aspirant

A commercial pilot is an individual who acts as the primary pilot of the aircraft. A commercial pilot needs to hold a commercial pilot license (otherwise he/she can not be considered as a commercial pilot). If a commercial pilot wants to fly for an airline, he/she needs to have an ATP (Airline Transport Pilot) certification. With the help of this certification, a commercial pilot can earn money by flying established airlines.

To be a commercial pilot, you do not need perfect eyesight. There are certain eyesight requirements/ standards that need to be met for the same. These standards differ from country to country and are regulated by the respected authorities.

You need to have correctable eyesight to 6/6. In most cases, those individuals have been considered whose one eye has proper eyesight whereas the other eye has correctable eyesight. Eyesight – 6/9 is considered fine.

You can be what you always wanted. There are many rules and standards that are evolving. There are also fields within flying that you can opt for.

All the best!
