You Need Training

As much time as you may have put in on your favorite video game, that is no replacement for actual flight training.

In order to become a commercial airline pilot, there are a whole slew of certifications that you need to earn.

First of all, you need to earn your commercial pilot’s license. The next, and possibly most important, thing you need to do is earn your type rating. A type rating is what qualifies you to operate a specific aircraft, such as a Boeing 737, for commercial use.

When searching for type rating training, which is an important element in becoming a pilot, look no further than our Miami pilot training academy. We have been known to help national and international students earn their type ratings and become commercial pilots for some of the major airlines.

Whether you are an India DGCA pilot or a private pilot right here in Miami, we have the tools to help you succeed.

There Are Health Requirements

While it is somewhat of a common myth that you have to be born with perfect eyesight in order to become a commercial airline pilot, there are still some health requirements that you must meet.

Because flying an airplane can be stressful in and of itself, not to mention the major responsibility of transporting passengers on a commercial plane, pilots need to be in good physical health as certified by a doctor.

You Need To Be Intuitive

Intuition and quick decision-making go hand-in-hand with a career as a commercial pilot. You need to know how to plan, as well as how to change your plan on the fly (no pun intended), in order to be a successful pilot.

There is no replacement for good decision making, and it can ultimately make or break your ability to fly a plane.

Know The Laws

In the United States, the FAA is the regulatory agency in charge of governing the skies, to a certain degree. The FAA rules and regulations do differ from other governing bodies, such as the India DGCA, so it’s important to know the rules in the country where you want to become a pilot.
