Commercial Pilot License (CPL) Classes

A Commercial Pilot License (CPL) is a license issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India that allows an individual to fly aircraft for commercial purposes. The CPL is a prerequisite for anyone wishing to pursue a career in aviation as a commercial pilot. To obtain a CPL, an individual must go through a rigorous training program that includes both theoretical and practical training. The theoretical portion is taught through a series of classes, while the practical training is conducted in the form of flight simulations and actual flight hours.

The classes required to obtain a CPL typically involve topics such as aerodynamics, aircraft systems, navigation, meteorology, aviation regulations, and air traffic control. Students must also learn the basics of flight maneuvers, aircraft performance, and emergency procedures. The practical training portion of the CPL classes will include flight simulations, actual flight time, and practice landings. The total flight time required to obtain a CPL varies depending on the aircraft type, but is typically around 100 hours.

In addition to the classes and flight time, students must also pass a written exam administered by the DGCA. This exam tests the student's knowledge of aviation regulations, aircraft systems, and flight maneuvers. Upon successful completion of the exam, the student will receive a CPL.

Commercial Pilot License (CPL) Ground Classes

A Commercial Pilot License (CPL) is an advanced certificate of aviation proficiency issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India. It enables the holder to act as a pilot in command of an aircraft for hire or reward. The CPL program is a comprehensive training program which includes theoretical knowledge and practical flying skills.
The CPL program is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical training. The theoretical training consists of classroom instruction and self-study. The topics covered include aerodynamics and aircraft systems, airmanship and air navigation, air law and operations, meteorology and communication. Upon successful completion of the theoretical training, the student must pass an examination in order to obtain the CPL.


The practical training portion of the program is conducted in an aircraft. The student must demonstrate proficiency in various aircraft maneuvers, such as takeoff and landing, stalls, turns and emergency procedures. The student must also demonstrate knowledge of aircraft systems and navigation. Upon successful completion of the practical training, the student must pass an exam in order to obtain the CPL.


In order to maintain a CPL, the holder must complete a certain amount of continuing professional development (CPD). This includes both theoretical and practical training. Theoretical CPD is conducted in the form of lectures, seminars and exams. Practical CPD is conducted in the form of actual flying time. The amount of CPD required depends on the type of aircraft and its operation.
