My uncle is a CPL holder since 86 and been training wanna be pilots. I am pm'ing you his contact number, get in touch with him for the same.
PS: according to him, there are like 2k CPL holders in India, without a cockpit seat and waiting in the queue to get a job. So think again, the best is the above advise by Gusty, who himself has fun with flying and serving the country by being an IAF pilot. All the best! Wish you many happy landings ahead!!

Welcome to the tough side of aviation. Commercial piloting is glamorous looking career and there is always a place for deserving candidate. IAF, no doubt is top career choice. There are options for you as you are young and just finished you 12th science. DO NOT FLY IN INDIA for commercial training. Not worth. I'm commercial pilot and flight instructor. Flown enough, in India as well as abroad. There are ways to avoid unemployment after commercial training. You should be ready before you start and invest. This topic would not end and I would keep typing. Easy way, call me after 10 PM. Golden rule for flying... Soaring pilots, seldom rest on the earth. When they do so, their souls are up and above "g" limits. Good luck. Sphere Hobbies Ahmedabad India +91-99251-20630 |
