Frequently Asked Questions

Pilots must hold the appropriate licence and meet DGCA requirements for the aircraft type, typically including a CPL, prescribed education, exams, training, and aircraft-specific ground training through a DGCA-approved organisation.

Type ratings apply to aircraft requiring type-specific qualification, including common airline types such as the Airbus A320, A330/A350, and Boeing 737, 777, and 787. The rating depends on the aircraft a pilot intends to operate and their career goals.

Beyond differences in systems and cockpit layout, Airbus and Boeing follow different automation philosophies. Airbus relies more on fly-by-wire protections, while Boeing offers a more direct control feel, requiring pilots to adopt different mental models.

Most type rating programs run 6–10 weeks, combining ground school, procedures training, and full-flight simulator sessions. The timeline varies by aircraft type and training schedule.

Yes. Certified Level D full-motion simulators can count toward type rating requirements. However, most airlines still require supervised line flying before pilots operate unsupervised.

Pilots may complete type ratings independently or through airline-sponsored programs tied to a specific fleet. Both routes are common in India, with sponsored ratings often offering greater job security.

Successful completion of training and the required skill test adds the aircraft type rating to the pilot’s licence, subject to regulatory approval. The pilot may then join an airline, complete airline-specific training, and undergo supervised line operations before flying independently.
