Becoming a Commercial Pilot in the UK?

Question

How would I go about it? I'm nearly 16 and are starting private flying lessons to get my PPL soon. Where should I go after that to become a commercial pilot? What subjects should I choose at school to give me the best chance?

Then come back and ask specific questions. Here are the 7 specific areas you will study and take examinations on, so choose related subjects such as basic applied maths, human physiology, earth science (geography, weather), basic electrical and radio theory, etc.

1) Aircraft General Knowledge and Principles of Flight

2) Aviation Law and Operational Procedures

3) Flight Performance and Planning

4) Human Performance and Limitations

5) Meteorology

6) Navigation and Radio Aids

7) Radio Communications
