In order to become an airline pilot there are a number of licenses that you need to complete. Successful completion of these licenses does not guarantee you a job in an airline.Typical path to become an airline pilot is as follows:
General Flying Test - GFPT
Private Pilots Licence - PPL
Commercial Pilots Licence - CPL
Multi Engine Command Instrument Rating - ME CIR
Airline Transport Pilots Licence - ATPL
Type Rating
The
AFTC requires no formal educational qualifications to train as a pilot (other
than English) but to obtain a commercial pilot’s licence an educational
background in Maths and Physics will help but is not a prerequisite.
Note most Flight Training Organisations, will only do the training up to and including the ATPL. Most airlines will sponsor the student for the Type Rating training, and usually bond the students for a number of years to recover the type rating costs.
