What is a Commercial Pilot License?
Getting a CPL is the foundation or the basis for becoming a pilot. CPL is a license to fly any commercial plane, whether single-engine or multi-engine. But further training (type rating) is needed to fly specific aircraft like A320, Boeing 737, ATR, etc. Finally, ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot License) is required to start working in an Airline to become a Pilot in Command (PIC).
A single-engine (S.E) and multi-engine (M.E) training is a type of pilot training that will allow you to fly an aircraft that works on one and more engine(s) only. It is a part of the Commercial Pilot License training.
India's aviation market is escalating to a higher state and reaching a new height globally. As per one of the reports of IBEF, it has become the third-largest domestic aviation market in the world and is expected to overtake the U.K. to become the third-largest air passenger market by 2024.
