Sallamu Alaikum,
i am a student pilot in the latter stages of my training at Cabair College of Air Training in the UK. Once my training finishes i will hold an ATPL with CPL/IR rating including MCC (Multi-Crew Certification).
I hold dual British and Pakistani nationality. Even though i was born and brought up in Britain it has always been my aim to work and live in a Muslim country like Pakistan once my training finishes. My question is therefore related to the requirements that Pakistani airlines like PIA / Aero Asia etc have of pilots applying to them. Can anyone point me in the right direction concerning opportunities for new pilots in Pakistan.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

U should approach these new airlines starting up in PAK such as Pearl Air or Deewan Group airlines etc.
Max u would get paid with your experience is RS 60,000 a month which means 600 pounds a month where as if you were in UK it would be GBP 3000-3500 a month starting salary with a low cost airline!!!
I understand that u want to live and work in a muslim country i.e. PAK but there are more pilot opportunities for you to explore in UK than there are in PAK due to the much bigger size of the aviation mkt in UK.

First you get your medical certificate, then a security clearance from the concerned body in Pakistan, after that, take two exams for CPL, one for IR, and then a Flight Check for each the CPL and IR.cabair351 wrote:thanks for all the guys.

Pass mark is 70% for all CAA exams, and as long as you study the right material, it's not difficult at all.Adnaan786 wrote:Does the "special exam" involve the exchange of some "special" paper??
Also, what's the topic of the exams, how many questions is it usually, and how long do u have??
....finally, what's the difficulty of the exams and pass mark??
thanks
Topics for CPL are Aero Engines, Met, Air Law, Navigation, Theory of Flight. For the IR exam, I don't remember, perhaps someone else on the forum can help out.
