Answer 3

You'd have to get straight A's in physics and maths (gcse and a'levels), then an aeronautical engineering degree. My ex was doing this degree and a few of his friends were doing this degree to get into commercial pilot.

plus you'll need a load of money. around £80,000 for the license.

universities that do good degrees in this are south hampton (ithink), liverpool, loughborough and the imperial college of london.

Answer 4

I looked into this sometime ago.

From when I looked into it Physics was a very good thing to have, along with maths at A level.

Plus around £80,000 to cover all the fees etc. its not cheap business.

I would start with a small private license first. you can egt these for about £5,000 with all your lessons etc, then you can probably work your way up to a commercial pilot without the grades etc.

Answer 5

nope you just hop in and go don't even ask the airline

Answer 6

Flying schools don't have specific Academic requirement. They specify minimum   age  age for PPL , CPL etc

Academic qualification requirement  depends on your country's Civil Aviation Authority Requirements.
