    What a great day to post such a detailed video discussing all the doubts related to eligibility criteria.
    Additionally what makes the video exceptional is the
    perfect financial calculations regarding repayment of study loans which will definitely help numerous students & their parents plan better.
    Wishing a "Happy Pilot's Day" to CNTAA that has a long journey in converting many dreams into reality, helping crack CPL exams in the very first attempt! ✈️

    Mam ur conversation skills is so smooth. Ur accent I just love it. I wanna be a pilot too..could u plz give me some tips and tricks on how to improve our conversation skills

    • @CNTAA
      @CNTAA  2 роки тому +10

      Thank you.. it's just reading, practicing and persistence..
      One trick that I can give you is, start thinking in English. We usually do the thinking / self talk in our native locale. If you choose to deliberately change that to english, you'll surely get better at communication in that particular language. While thinking, if you can't find a word for something that you wanna frame, just look up the word. You'll increase vocabulary too.
      Let me know if that helps.
      Good luck!!

      Hey.. for sure, it's not easy. I wish you strength to persist through it. Remember one thing, When you don't have a job, your job is to find and get a job. Every single day wake up with that thought and work on it. Most certainly soon enough, you will find yourself employed. Good luck.

    Hello ma'am. I'm an Indian citizen (woman) soon will complete 34 in July 2022. I couldn't pursue my passion or flying due to finances. I have worked and saved some money now to start my training. Can I become a pilot in India at this age as you mentioned one should complete training before 32? Is there any chance of getting job outside India after age of 35? Please suggest. Thank you..

    • @g0dfree291
      @g0dfree291 2 роки тому +1

      In my opinion you shouldn't start now as you're almost 34. As ma'am already said, almost all of the airlines dont take freshers above the age of 35. But even if there are so many adversities, you can still do it. You can work as an instructor or something and then try to get into an airline. I can tell you one thing, its going to be stressful. So please make sure you're financially stable.

    • @CNTAA
      @CNTAA  2 роки тому +2

      Exactly what I'd reply to this question. Thank you SQUALL!!
      @Twilight this is for you...
      In addition to what SQALL mentioned, my two cents on this would be,
      Airlines recruit fresher CPL holders (200hrs CPL) until about 35. 37 if type rated.
      But for someone who's 34, it's a longer path.
      By 36 the candidate will finish CPL. then the Pilot will need to work as an instructor until he/she gets ATPL as an Instructor. In India salary of flying school instructors are lesser (relative to cost of pilot training).
      Approximately it'll take about 4 years of flying as an Instructor before meeting requirements for ATPL. After you get ATPL, yes, Airlines can recruit you even if you are 40. Because you are an experienced Pilot and not a fresher.
      Should you do it?
      It's completely upto you. All I could say is that it's not going to be easy.
      So if you must do it, if you do have that strong calling, yes you can.
      But buckle up, coz it's a long ride starting at the age 34.
      Please do not consider any statements as personal comments. Everything mentioned here is in good faith and not to hurt anyone's feelings.

      You must also have maths in order to become a pilot. You need to give maths from open school (NIOS). After you have completed it you are eligible.

    DO SCOLIOSIS AFFECT PILOT CAREER???? DOES MEDICAL TESTS INCLUDE THIS?

      Please consult a DGCA medical examiner. It's beyond my capacity to comment on this. But a doctor will definitely be able to help. It depends how severe is scoliosis. Depends if the there is an acceptable limit fot the spinal lateral deflection angle.
      Please consult an orthopaedic / spinal specialist and a DGCA medical examiner before proceeding with Pilot career.

      Yes. Technical Diploma is considered as 10 + 2 equivalent. Any state board engineering / technical diploma is acceptable.
