Tej Pratap Yadav clears interview for commercial pilot training
Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav has cleared the interview and document verification for the Ab-Initio to Commercial Pilot License (CPL) course, securing 5th rank among 18 selected candidates, as per the Bihar Directorate of Aviation's list released on June 20. The interview process was conducted from December 16 to 18, 2024. Tej Pratap, recently expelled from the RJD by his father Lalu Prasad for alleged "irresponsible behaviour," has made headlines over a controversial Facebook post about being in a relationship, which he later claimed was the result of hacking. His estranged wife Aishwarya Rai later alleged she was misled into the marriage despite his prior involvement with another woman. Following his expulsion on May 25, Tej Pratap claimed there was a conspiracy to separate him from his younger brother Tejashwi Yadav, the RJD's current leader. Using Mahabharata references on social media, he insisted his loyalty to Tejashwi remains firm. Tej Pratap, a two-term MLA and son of former CMs Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, has had a turbulent political journey, including brief cabinet roles. His removal from the party comes just months ahead of the Bihar assembly elections. (With inputs from PTI)

Wings clipped in family and party, Tej Pratap on course to become a commercial pilot
Former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav has been provisionally selected for the Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) course at the Bihar Flying Institute, according to a circular issued by the state's Directorate of Aviation Training. He had appeared for the interview for admission to the CPL course during the 2023-24 academic session, as part of the selection process conducted by the Bihar Directorate of Aviation Training. However, the release of the results was delayed due to ongoing litigation related to reservation provisions. Following a court order, the final merit list was published on June 20, making him eligible for formal admission to the course. Tej Pratap's selection comes over a month after he made headlines for publicly expressing his willingness to serve the country as a pilot in the wake of Operation Sindoor. It also comes weeks after former chief minister Lalu Prasad announced his son's expulsion from the Rashtriya Janata Dal, and 'from the family', citing 'irresponsible behaviour' and actions not in line with the family's values and traditions. On May 7, as the Indian armed forces launched Operation Sindoor, striking terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK, Tej Pratap posted on social media: 'If my pilot training can be of use to the nation, I, Tej Pratap Yadav, am always ready to serve the country. For your information, I have received pilot training, and if I lose my life for the country, I would consider myself fortunate. Jai Hind!' Along with the post, he had also shared pictures of his flight radio telephone operator's licence. Two days later, he made another post addressing Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 'Honourable Prime Minister, Vande Mataram. In this situation of crisis, all countrymen are together. I, Tej Pratap Yadav, son of Shri Lalu Prasad Yadav, resident of Patna, Bihar, am also capable of fulfilling my responsibilities as an aircraft pilot. I have a strong desire to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our security forces at the border and thwart the evil intentions of our enemies. I request you to give citizens like me the opportunity to serve Mother India. If my life is lost in protecting the country and its citizens, I would consider myself fortunate.' The posts had created a flurry on social media, with many pointing out that he did not have the required qualifications to be a pilot at the time. However, it was another social media post that saw Tej Pratap expelled from not just his party, but also his family. On May 25, RJD chief Lalu Prasad said in a post on X, 'Ignoring moral values in personal life weakens our collective struggle for social justice. My eldest son's activities, public conduct, and irresponsible behaviour are not in accordance with our family values and traditions…' This came a day after a post was shared on Tej Pratap's Facebook profile that showed him with a woman. The caption claimed the two had been in a relationship for 12 years. The post was later deleted, and he claimed his social media profiles had been hacked. A day before his selection to the CPL course, on June 19, Tej Pratap posted a cryptic message on social media, hinting at personal and political betrayals and vowing to reveal the truth, saying, 'Those who mistake my silence for weakness, do not think that I am unaware of your conspiracies. You started it, I will end it. I am going to break this web of lies and deceit. Be ready, the truth will come out. My role will be decided by my beloved people and the Hon'ble Supreme Court, not by any party or family.'

Explained: How To Become A Pilot After Class 12th In India
Becoming a pilot in India offers a thrilling and rewarding career path. It combines technical knowledge, physical and mental fitness, and a true passion for flying. Whether you dream of flying commercial planes, private jets, or even serving the nation through defense aviation, the path to becoming a pilot is both structured and rewarding. Here are the essential steps - from eligibility and training to licenses and career options - to help you start your journey in aviation. Who Can Become a Pilot in India? The minimum age to begin pilot training in India is 17 years. You must have passed Class 12 (10+2) with Physics and Mathematics as core subjects. Apart from education, your physical health is equally important. You must obtain a Class 2 medical certificate issued by a DGCA-approved medical examiner to ensure you are medically fit to undergo flight training. Later, you will need a Class 1 medical certificate to get your Commercial Pilot License (CPL) and work in airlines. What Are the Different Types of Pilots? In India, aspiring pilots can choose between two main paths: Civil Aviation A civil aviation pilot flies for commercial airlines, cargo companies, private jets, or charter flights. To enter this field, you need to undergo flight training and obtain a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). Defence Aviation On the other hand, a defense pilot serves in the Indian Air Force. These pilots are selected through competitive exams and undergo rigorous training to fly fighter or transport aircraft as part of national defense services. Where Should You Do Pilot Training? To become a commercial pilot, you must enroll in a flight training school approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). These schools offer both theoretical and practical training. Theoretical classes, often called "ground school," include subjects like air navigation, aviation regulations, meteorology (weather science), and aircraft systems. Once you understand the basics, you begin practical training under the supervision of certified flight instructors. You must complete a minimum of 200 flying hours, which includes solo flights, dual flights with instructors, and cross-country navigation exercises. How Do You Get a Commercial Pilot License (CPL)? Once your training is complete, the next step is to pass several exams conducted by the DGCA. These include tests in air regulations, meteorology, navigation, technical knowledge of aircraft, and radio telephony (RTR). After clearing these exams and completing your required flying hours, you can apply for your CPL. This license authorises you to fly commercial aircraft and is your gateway to job opportunities in the aviation industry. How Much Does It Cost to Become a Pilot? Pilot training is a significant financial investment. The cost for CPL training in India typically ranges between Rs 40 lakh to Rs 50 lakh. If you choose to add a type rating course later, it can cost another Rs 15-25 lakh, depending on the aircraft model. How Long Does It Take to Become a Pilot? Becoming a pilot is not only expensive but also time-consuming. Generally, it takes about 18 to 24 months to complete CPL training, assuming there are no weather delays or backlogs in flying hours. However, the duration can vary depending on the training schedule, school facilities, and how quickly you pass your DGCA exams. What Career Options Do You Have After Becoming a Pilot? Once you receive your CPL, a range of career paths open up. You can apply to domestic and international airlines as a First Officer (co-pilot), or join private charter companies and fly VIP clients. Some pilots choose to become flight instructors, helping train the next generation of pilots.
