Cadet Pilot Preparation for CPL and Airline Selection
A clear path from Class 12 through DGCA ground school in Calicut to airline assessments. Cadet pilot preparation here is coaching for commercial pilot training — not a cadet-programme offer letter, and not a job.

The usual CPL and cadet file order
Most commercial pilot cadets do not skip a stage. Join at the one you are already on. The numbers below are sequence, not a scoreboard.
02
DGCA ground school in Calicut
Air Navigation, Meteorology, Air Regulations and Technical General — CPL ground classes in Calicut that airline cadet panels screen first.
03
Airline assessments
ADAPT, psychometric tests, group discussion and interviews. Formats follow current airline practice. A pass is not a joining letter.
04
Type rating, if asked
Some airlines hire first and type-rate later. Aerowis coordinates the plan. Bond terms belong to the airline, not this page.
What simulator familiarisation is not
Simulator familiarisation can sit in a Calicut batch plan. It is cockpit orientation — not the airline simulator you may later sit, and not a type rating. See the session brief.
Ask which CPL stage you are actually on
Fees, bonds and airline vacancies stay off this page. The Calicut desk will not invent a cadet intake that is not open.

Talk to a Career AdvisorTo enroll in the CPL program, candidates must have completed higher secondary education with Physics, Mathematics, and English. They must also be at least 17 years old and possess a valid DGCA Class 2 Medical certificate.
The duration varies based on the program. The CPL program typically takes 18-24 months, including ground school and a minimum of 200 flight hours required for DGCA license conversion.
