The 2 most important things which come into the picture before taking private pilot training are money and commitment. The lack or the absence of any of these factors would make it difficult for you to reach your goal. The private pilot license is one of the most basic licenses.

In order to get a private pilot license the thing which is needed first and foremost is the student pilot license. It is also very important to have atleast 60 hours of flying out of which 20 hours of solo flying ,5 hours of cross country flights as well as 15 hours of dual flying (with an instructor) are a must.  A medical fitness certificate from IAM or AFCME is also very important to obtain a private pilot license. The candidate should be of atleast 17 years of age and should have a passing certificate of atleast 10+2 with Chemistry, physics and mathematics as major subjects are all needed.

Along with getting private pilot training a candidate also needs to appear for the written examinations which consist of subjects such as Air Navigation, Air Regulations, Aircraft Engines and many more.

The per hour cost of flying during the private pilot training turns out to be very expensive and is about 3,500 rupees. This would result into the cost of the entire private pilot training course to be about Rupees 2 lakh.

In order to get a private pilot job your experience is what counts the most. This experience is measured in terms of the “flying hours”. There are a large number of job opportunities which are available to the candidates who have successfully completed the private pilot training course.
