Answer 1

Get a micosoft flight simulator. it has the best airplane simulation ever. me,my friend, and the entire school were using this. airplane range is from wright flyer to boeing ng (new generation series), boeing er (extended range series) and even airbus a380!!!( if you get the very lastest version ). if you want to try fly a real planes, go to the small airport. they usually let you to pilot the cessna (for a price)

Hope This Helps!!!

Answer 2

I recommend that you learn to read and write first.  Then, crack a book open and read about being a pilot.  Private pilot is a joke anyway.  If you can drive a car, you can fly the plane.

I remember this question from last night.

Answer 4

The main thing you need to give your attention to right now is just doing a good job of the tasks that are on your plate today.  You will be old enough to consider the technical details of your training and career development sooner than you think.

Right now, concentrate on being a person of good character and achievement.  Stay out of trouble:  no drugs, no alcohol, no trouble with the law like stealing or assault.  A reputation as a person of good character and social skills will work in your favor.

Take the courses you want to take, and talk it over with your school guidance counselor and your family.  Make sure you do well in mathematics and sciences, and also spend some time on civics and government, and also on geography.  A professional pilot has to have a really good understanding of law and regulations, and has to know where things are around the planet.

At the same time, do well in some physical pursuit.  You can't be a couch potato.  Do okay in Phys Ed, and find a personal sport that will help you develop strength and coordination.  This is important.

Also, read everything you can get your hands on about airplanes and aviation.  The more detailed knowledge you have, the easier it will be for you to learn the things you need to know to pass your aviation tests when the time comes.  Spend time in the library and read all the books and magazines about aviation and related subjects.

If you want to go by way of the military (and that's the most certain way of getting into the flight deck of an airliner), see your Air Force, Navy, or Marine Corps recruiter.  You can go to see them any time, even at age 14.  Your recruiter will advise you what college to go to and what to major in to maximize your chances of getting into military flight training.

When you are about 17, find the nearest flight school and go talk to the instructors.  Sign up for an introductory flight, and see what it feels like to fly a real airplane.  Do it that way, and avoid computerized flight simulators like FSX.  The simulators will teach you bad habits and give you a mistaken impression of what it's like to fly a real airplane.  Get some experience in the real thing before you mess with simulators.  This is important.

Get your private pilot certificate as soon as you can.  It will get you a head start on whatever additional training you need, either civilian or military.

Good luck, and have fun!

Answer 5

I recommend that you use a flight simulator on your pc, they're very helpful to gain orientation, especially for instrument flying; if possible try to get together with someone experienced like an instructor or a private pilot, so that you can use it for your benefit and not get into bad habbits. Don't stress yourself that much with school, despite the popular belief, pilots do not need to be perfect in science and math. All you'll need is the basics pretty much (addition,substraction,etc)

I recommend that you start flying once you're 16, that way you can get you private pilot license.
