  1. go to your local airport and find an instructor you should also pick up books and learn what kind of flying you want to do. i'm going to 10th grade and i'm taking lessons to get my private pilots certificate


  2. RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH!!.  If you want to be a pilot go to www.aopa.org and www.faa.gov.  Start learning what you need to do in order to qualify for a 3RD CLASS MEDICAL.  If you qualify for that then start digging into the text books because there is LOTS of stuff to learn.  My guidance counselors offered me D-CK about aviation as a career.  You will have to find a 'mentor' to really chart out your path.  Find a school that will meet your needs as well.  You can go to almost any airport with an FBO (fixed base operator) and learn to fly.  Universities are usually affiliated with businesses and connections to get you internships and employment more easily.  I cannot speak of strictly flight universities.

  3. You could do this, go into the military aviation. I did, I looked at   it this way    

    School you have the knowledge but no hands on

    Mil you have the school, the hands on and you get paid for it.

  4. The fastest way is to go to flight school.Pick up any pilots magazine(FLYING, PLANE AND PILOT,ECT) and you'll find a ton of ads for flight schools.My husband went to North American Institute of Aviation in Conway South Carolina near Myrtle Beach. Embry Riddle in Florida is a very good shool, but expensive also. I think they offer collage courses for aviation too.The easiest way is to go to the closest small air port and ask if they have a flight instructor, and talk to them about getting started.

  5. Go to college!!

  6. you should start flight school.

  7. Speak to your guidance counselor.  They would know for your situation better.

    Good Luck...

  8. take flying classes in your area wich are expensive then go to college
