Right way to become a pilot?

Question

Answer 1

try Israeli  army

Answer 2

Don't go to an aviation diploma mill like Embry Riddle, or University of North Dakota, or any college program.  They are expensive and these programs don't guarantee you anything of what they promise.  Airlines don't care where you got a degree, or what your degree is in.  I have a worthless aviation degree so I know.

Remember the FAA issues pilot certificates NOT a university.

Go to a local Fixed Base Operator and DON'T put down a bunch of money,  PAY AS YOU GO!! or they can and will file bankruptcy and take your money.

Aviation is a brutal business, and it's expensive. IF you have the qualifications to go to the military, do so.

Answer 3

If you got access to money...... loan or parents, etc. then find a flight school better yet, a university or college that also offers a degree with it. If no money then check the army, in the army you can build time and then convert it to civilian flight time to work for the airlines, plan to spend a few years there.

If you go through college, you need a 1st class medical (for airline captains) then student pilot license, then flight train to you private pilot license, commercial pilot, instrument rating, multiengine, high performance, complex, and Flight instructor so you can teach, learn alot more about flying and the mistakes that others make and problem solve it, and the best get paid while doing it. This can cost a minimum 31,000USD at a part 141 school.

Hope for the best when you get to about 1000 hours flight time with hopefully a lot of multi engine time so you can work for the airlines. Dont hope to jump on to a B747 with 1000 hours. You will most likely begin with a small CRJ200 and work your way up from there to the CRJ900, then B737, B757 to B747. Years of hard work and fun!!!!!!

Try it!!!!

Answer 4

It depends on your age and money.  The cheapest and best way to get a ton of ratings is to go to a part 141 university.  Such as UND.  Just remember whatever you do is keep with it and don't take any breaks.

Answer 5

there are a number of ways you can do this i currently am enrolled in an aviation mechanics school.... I'd start off by buying a flight simulator the more hours you have the easier it will be when you go to school. it will teach you how to read gages and communicate with the traffic controll tower. And as far as school look up flight schools on google and find the one nearest you.The financial aid office will handle the rest. Everything is run by the FAA so it will be pretty hard (good luck)

Answer 6

aviator[pilot] he doesn't need a first class medical to get his private license. they charge extra for that. all you need is a class three medical and then only when you're ready to solo. they should rename this thing yahoo guesses.
