Procedure For Pilot Training

The entire pilot training course is divided into two parts, both having equal importance viz.

(1) Theoretical (Ground) Training and
(2) Practical (Flight) Training.

The authority requires a candidate to pass a written examination in various Aeronautical / Technical subjects and a practical flight-test in both parts respectively. To fulfill the requirements of passing the written examination and flight test, the candidate is required to undergo training either in India or abroad.
