Question 14

Job opportunities after getting Commercial Pilot's License(CPL)

Accepted Answer

With choosing aviation as a field of work, one gets a lot of added benefits. You can start early, and sometimes, even a Private Pilot License can make you eligible to co-pilot small goods planes. Besides, there are provisions of gratuity, and health and housing benefits. A pilot and co-pilot's job is to commandeer vehicles carrying goods, people etcetera for military or commercial purposes. So, you can of course pilot or co-pilot planes but also get into the industry as trainers and instructors. Your work will be to train the students or even to work with the new recruits. Training and instructing also needs 3 to 4 years of flying experience but you can come back to the school you graduated from, to teach the students. Flying clubs are also on the lookout for instructors all the time and a job at a flying club is very respected. Airlines recruit pilots of all nationalities so you can land a job at a national airline and as well as an international airline. With a CPL or an Airline Transport Pilot’s License, you are most definitely eligible for a job at the military or paramilitary services. On top of that, celebrities and socialites need pilots for commandeering their jets all the time so you are directly eligible for that job. Needless to say, jobs in the aviation sector, most importantly, as pilots, are very lucrative. Be it in any role, the starting offer of a co-pilot or pilot is Rs 40,000 to 1.5 Lakhs. The numbers only escalate with time and experience

Question 34

What is Type rating (TR)?

Accepted Answer

Type rating is a certification issued by the country’s regulatory body (such as DGCA in India) that certifies that a pilot is fit to fly certain types of aircrafts. The first step to becoming a pilot is undoubtedly training and obtaining a licence followed by accumulating flying hours. This gets you to a point where you can fly single engine aircraft below a certain weight without obtaining type rating. However, in order to fly on a professional basis, a type rating is necessary. 
In the States the FAA stipulates that a pilot who wishes to fly across international air space must have a type rating licence, which requires additional training and endorsement on license. The main pilot in command must have a type rating and the co-pilot too needs to have a SIC type rating.  Getting the main pilot in command type rating is more difficult than obtaining a SIC type rating for the co-pilot. The usual route is for a pilot to go in for SIC, get experience and then apply for PIC. Type ratings may also be required for instrumentation. Type ratings may be aircraft specific but commercial aircraft pilots may undergo additional training to be type rated for most aircrafts such as the Boeing and Airbus family of aircrafts. This may involve about 75 hours of training on simulators Type ratings must comply with requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization.  
Type rating is a must when one plans to fly aircrafts that weigh in excess of 5600 kgs mean take-off weight and for turbojet powered aircrafts and for multi engine jet aircraft.
