Answer 3

Mr. Answers doesn't have all the answers.  ERAU is WAY overpriced for the worthless aviation degrees they offer. For that matter so is UND.  Why pay 1100 per credit hour for a degree that doesn't get you anything remotely close to an airline flying job?  Flight hours get you a flying job. ERAU or UND or any aviation diploma mill doesn't issue ANYONE a pilot's license..the FAA does.  

Get a degree in a field you can be employable such as a Nursing degree (I got plenty of stick time flying deadheads as a flight nurse) or Engineering.  Airlines don't give a c**p what your degree is in, or where you went to college.  You will pay through the nose for your flight time, so why get raped by ERAU or UND?  College algebra is the same at a community college as it is at ERAU at  a fraction of the cost.

I flew canyon tours with Riddle rats and the only difference in my worthless aviation degree and theirs..mine cost about 6 grand at a state college.   They bragged about Riddle, but h**l they were making the same c**p pay I was making flying the same c**p planes.  Thank god I was smart enough to go back to college and get a nursing degree. Now I make 80 grand a year and have my own plane.   When the college I attended for my Aviation Technology degree comes calling for alumni dues I cut a check for 500 bucks and send it to the community college where I got my RN license.  Being a nurse got me more flight time and better pay than ANY aviation degree.

Answer 4

It takes one year of full time study and flying to get your Commercial pilots licence and other ratings associated with it. It all depends on how long you take, and how you will pay for it. One year is pretty much average (based on someone having sufficent funds to pay for approximately 200hrs worth of flying experience in one year).

Answer 5

I KNOW OF TWO PILOTS WHO GOT THEIR PRIVATE LICENSE IN 30 DAYS.

DEPENDS ON TIME, MONEY, AND RATINGS.

Answer 6

I want to become a pilot when i leave school to, From what i've learned it doesnt really matter about years, It matters how many hours you fly, If you join the airforce it takes about 4 years. if you do it privatley with lessons you have to fly a certain number of hours to get your license then you can get a job flying for some company.

Answer 7

Here

Ok... I am 13 and want to become a pilot. The best thing is to buy Microsoft Flight Simulator X for $30. I learned my basics from ther like how to start it up... the altimeter... stall speeds... flaps settings.... and I bought a joystick for $30 and just learned to fly!

Now I don't want to go through the military so this is what I am doing

-Get 4 year college degree in Auernatical Science at Embry Riddle (preffered by airline for degree) When I graduate... they give me a commercial liscence

-Get a first class medical ( really easy just like checkup)

-Now airlines want lots of hours start off so work for a regional airline for 5-10 years to get them

-Get a regional airline job for 5-10 years

-Work at Continental airlines

--------Questions----------

----At what age can I start getting ready for my license?----

You can fly an airplane at any age. As long as you are the co-pilot. The age to actually take control of the aircraft and get a students liscence is at the age of 16. You can fly solo or by yourself at 17. At 18 you can get an ATP's (Airline Transport Pilot) liscence this is what you need to fly for the big airlines like United, Delta... ect. Regional airlines require an Commercial Liscence

----What is the best school in the country?----

The top two are Embry Riddle erau.com and North Dakota University.

---- In how many years can I become an airplane pilot for any airline?----

-High School Graduate 18

-4 Year college at 18-22

-Training and getting hours 22-24

-Regional Airline 24-30

-Commercial Airline 30-65

----Is this expensive?----

Not as much as you think. Once everything is said and done it is around $150,000

-$100,000 for college without scholarship

-$50,000 for training ( Commercial airlines require 1000 hours in multi engine aircraft which can be expensive so I reccomend going into a Regional Airline which takes 0-50 multi engine hours (ME) I would reccomend training with somebody who is going in your same career course to split the cost

----Do I need to go to college?----

No, but if you are faced with 100 people who are wanting to be in a 25 person opening... they will look for an education first. They all reccomend it.

----And what classes can I get in high school?----

I would reccomend taking classes on interviewing skills because the best interview gets the best job. End it with..." You may find better inteerviews than mine, but nobody will work harder than me"

Hope that this helps. I found all this information over A four month period. Try www.airlinepilotcentral.com You can select an airline and see if they are hiring, their fleet, pay scale, and hiring minimuns.
