The minimum requirements to become a commercial airline pilot are an ATPL Licence (Airline Transport Pilots Licence) in Australia you need at least 1500 Hours in order to get this, and it is a step up from a Commercial Pilots Licence (150 Hours).
A lot of Airlines also will not consider pilots without Degrees, but this is obviously dependant on how desperate for staff they are
What are the requirements to become a commercial airline pilot?
High School + Class 1 Medical
Commercial Pilots Licence - Single %26amp; Multi engine ratings
Instrument Rating
Airline Transport Pilots Licence
What are the requirements to become a commercial airline pilot?
It would help a lot if you would mention the country in which you will be seeking your airline career. I will assume you mean the USA, as US citizens predominate on this board.
In the USA, you need an ATP certificate and about 2,000 hours total time. You must be in good health and pass at least the second class medical exam.
If you can build some time in heavier aircraft, it will stand you in good stead. The best way to do this is to get some experience in heavy air cargo.
Because of the steadily increasing complexity of aircraft systems and flight procedures, the airline hiring officials want to know that you have good study skills and learning ability; because of this, they all insist on a 4-year college degree. Some people who post answers here will tell you a college degree is not required, but they are behind the times.
A 4-year college degree is absolutely required. The field is growing more crowded and competitive, and only college graduates with good grades have a chance. Your degree can be in almost any field, but you have to have it. Airline hiring executives are interested in applicants with degrees in business, accounting, and law enforcement as well as the traditional degrees in science, math, engineering, and aviation.
Finally, you must be a person of conventional appearance and good character. No tattoos or body piercings; be well spoken and have a good command of written and spoken English; no criminal record.
Good luck!
Reply:ATPL in Canada is 2000 hours as well
Reply:In the US: a Second Class Medical Certificate, a Commercial certificate with multiengine rating, and 500+ hours of flight time.
Reply:one of the easier ways to meet flight time requirements is to fly for a regional airline because they have lower requirements than say southwest or united

Which meathed is used to protect aeroplanes crash with each other in the sky ?
Radar.
Good Luck...
Which meathed is used to protect aeroplanes crash with each other in the sky ?
ACAS (Aircraft Collision Avoidance Systems) Operated by radio controllers. That is for IR (Instrument rating) aircraft; while VFR (Visual flight rating- small aircraft) aircraft have to look out for one another, however Air Traffic Control (ATC) will watch over them and warn them of aircraft in very close proximity via radio.
Which meathed is used to protect aeroplanes crash with each other in the sky ?
1) The heights and clearances given by the Control Areas and the Air Traffic Controllers.
2) Quadrantal Height Separation System.
3) Filing of Flight Plans prior to flying.
4) Ground and on-board radars.
5) Last but not the least - good lookout.
Reply:It is a secondary radar installed in all commercial aviation aircraft called TCAS. The radar computers in two aircraft on a collision course will %26#039;speak%26#039; to one another, and one will tell the pilot to climb and the other will say descend. So both aircraft manoeuvre to avoid one another.
TCAS stands for traffic collision avoidance system and is a brand name of an instrument called ACAS. Airborne collision avoidance system, much like Hoover has become the general name for vacuum cleaner

Reply:The chief method is simply visual surveillance by pilots. Visual alertness accounts for about 99 percent of all aircraft separation.
The second common method is altitude separation. Aviation regulations specify altitudes for aircraft flying in various general directions, to minimize the likelihood of collisions.
Some, but by no means all, commercial aircraft are equipped with TCAS and other electronic aids for avoiding other aircraft. These can be a big help in heavy traffic and bad weather; however, the chief responsibility remains with the individual pilot, whose job is to see and avoid conflicting traffic.
That is the real and correct answer.
Reply:While TCAS is a very good system, it is the last line of defense against a mid-air collision. In the air traffic control centers, the user request evaluation tool or URET projects the trajectory of each aircraft up to 20 minutes in the future. If any aircraft will come between 5-10 miles of each other (which is acceptable) the controller will be warned with a yellow alert. If separation will be projected to be less than 5 miles, a red alert is shown on the display. Most controllers %26quot;see%26quot; these potential conflicts well in advance, before URET sees it. While the job sounds automated, the human controller still makes all the decisions and knows how to separate traffic. This system serves as a back up to the controller%26#039;s eye. Should a potential conflict slip through all this, the collision alert system will activate when aircraft are about to lose separation. The datablocks associated with the aircraft begin to blink to get the controllers attention so that he or she may take immediate action.
Reply:The two eyes in my head, but if they can%26#039;t find the traffic:
Air Traffic control radar and the controller operating it
TCAS- Traffic collision avoidance system which uses the transponder(electronic signal generator) signal from another airplane and displays it on a screen in the cockpit, allowing pilots to avoid other aircraft. This is a required system on airliners over 19 seats, though quite a few corporate aircraft have it too.
On-board radar CAN show traffic, but it only shows up as a blip, if at all. We don%26#039;t use it for traffic avoidance, just weather avoidance
Reply:Firstly every a/c is given an different altitude to fly.Secondly every a/c is fitted with anti collision lights, one on top and one in the bottom. These lights will flash 90 times in a minutes.
If two a/c come in the close range to each other the light flashes can be counted. If the number of flashes are less than 90 per minutes then the distance bitween the a/c is very close and it can be dangerous.
Reply:Avio....
I agree with everything you said except;
I don%26#039;t know how long ago you retired, but ALL commercial aircraft are required by FAR part 121.356 to have TCAS installed. So, they all now have it installed.
That is the real answer...
Reply:The main method is the %26quot;big sky concept%26quot; mid-air collisions are rare because seldom do aircraft occupy the same place in the big sky. After that its up to the pilots to keep a good look out. Next is air traffic control. Last but not least is good luck.
Good Luck...

The 757.
Not to big, yet not too small. It can land at most airport%26#039;s, yet it can hold Thousands of pounds of cargo.
It%26#039;s a wise move FedEx is purchasing a 757 fleet.

Any european airlines with pilot places open?
can you tell me wich airlines in europe would allow an australian pilot and posibly pay or subdivide traveling expenses/living.
Australian airforce pilots?
is there anyway a pilot can fly in the airforce without having to live like a soldier; marching, having a rank, being yelled at. etc.
im not lazy or anything, i just realy dont like that type of life. testing aeroplanes after service, im sure engineers for the RAFF dont need to march. i find it a waste of time. i sapose if a pilot is needing to make life or death situations with bombs and 5 wingmen in his hands is a different story, but i dont want to work like that. just pc-9 etc type aeroplanes.
by the way im 16.
Australian airforce pilots?
Pilots, in any air force, anywhere, are supposed to march, wear uniforms and obey the laws. Nobody really gets yelled at and officers are treated with respect. Marching is not a waste of time, its a part of the regime. I am sure, if you love flying, you will enjoy everything else in the air force.

Air traffic control job?
Does anyone know some ATC center who is searching for air traffic controllers?
Air traffic control job?
great vote of confidence!!
no sorry - i dont no of any centre -
maybe talk to someone at your local airport?!
Air traffic control job?
dont listen to crap like that from crazy white boy. he obviously watches too many movies. go to faa.gov. they have employment oportunities there. unless you%26#039;re already a certified atc controller you have a ton of training ahead of you though.
Reply:All of the centers are hiring. If you are a veteran you may get right in. Civilians have to either graduate from an FAA designated college program or wait for open hiring.
Reply:All centers and towers are looking for controllers. You will need to go to faa.gov and fill out an application. You can look at the openings and select a particular area/center to apply at or you can apply nation wide.

Pilot.........?
Are high school grades checked when applying for a job as a pilot?
I ask because i havent been able to finish my last year of high school due to some unavoidable circumstances.
Im an above average student , but i cannot go back to school , and i wanted to know if that would affect my chances of getting a job.
Pilot.........?
It will affect you for the rest of your life, No matter how smart you are,Or think you are, At least get a G E D. Trust me ,, been there,,, done that.
Pilot.........?
Yes. And not just to be a pilot.
Don%26#039;t know the circumstances, but a diploma is much better than a GED in the long run. I have a daughter who got her GED and a son who wanted to, but got his diploma. Both found out it%26#039;s better to have the diploma.
Reply:Not only is a high school diploma absolutely necessary, but a 4-year college degree is absolutely necessary if you want to begin a career in aviation.
You need your piloting qualifications, of course, including an ATP Certificate and 2,000 hours of flight experience, but academic success is an absolute requirement.
Some people who post answers here will tell you that you don%26#039;t need a college degree, but they are behind the times. There are flying jobs in air charter, instructing, bush flying, and light cargo for people with high school diplomas and 2-year degrees, but to fly for the military or the airlines, you MUST have that 4-year college degree.
So you have some basic decision making to do. You have to either lower your sights in career terms, or go and straighten out whatever it is that %26quot;prevents you%26quot; from going back to school.
Good luck!
Reply:No, high school grades are not checked for a pilot license. Flying courses are entirely different and include ground classes and hands on flying practices with instructors and solos.
Although you need to have a basic knowledge of math, english language (when in North america) and lots of comon senses.
Determination and on-going studies would make you a private pilot, just keep in mind that having an education background in your cases grade 12 would help a lot.
Commercial pilot is more complicated and certainely more difficult to get to.
Reply:You need to finish high school. Or get a GED. There aren%26#039;t many jobs out there, let alone flying jobs, that you can get without a HS diploma.
Most airlines want a college degree, as do many other places that involve flying for a living. But at the minimum, get the high school diploma. Period.
Flying an airplane doesn%26#039;t require you to be a genius, but you will need to be able to grasp some ideas that could be difficult without a diploma or some higher learning.
Don%26#039;t give up on your dreams or yourself. Do whatever you have to do to get that diploma!
Reply:Normally high school, at least, is expected from prospective pilots - though not mandatory. However, your Licences, Ratings and other related documents would be thoroughly scrutinised. I suggest you continue and finish your licencing requirements and, in the meantime, see if any outside chance exists for you to do the final year at school.
Good luck.
Reply:Unless something has changed.
No you do not need a HS diploma to fly, You do need a HS (or GED) for an ATP.
You need an ATP to get anywhere in Aviation. You need a BA to be even considered by the Airlines.
