Role you're checking

Commercial Pilot

Operations

Commercial pilots in India fly scheduled passenger and cargo services under a DGCA-issued Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) on narrow-body jets such as the Airbus A320 family and Boeing 737 MAX — the backbone of IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air, and SpiceJet fleets. Entry is as First Officer (FO/co-pilot) after accumulating 200 hours on a CPL; progression to Captain (Pilot-in-Command) requires 1,500 hours and DGCA's Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL). A pilot operates in two alternating roles every sector — Pilot Flying (PF), who controls the aircraft through FMS-programmed automatics or manual inputs, and Pilot Monitoring (PM), who manages radio calls, checklists, and situational awareness. The career is tightly regulated: recurrent simulator checks every 6 months, annual DGCA medical, and instrument rating renewals are non-negotiable, and a single failed check grounding a licence concentrates professional risk in a way few other careers match.
