How to be a Pilot..... :D
Author: Maraio1      45 Posts  Status: Pilot near incorporation Date    07-25-12 10:57

Hi There. I'm 14 Years old, and just started my GCSE's (well in September) I've chosen Triple Science, Geography, GCSE ICT and Business
Studies. If you've got any advice you can give me on what to do in the near future- that would be much appreciated, eg Go to xxx or do this and
that....... If you've got any questions you want to ask me, feel free. I have always wanted to be a pilot ever since i could understand them (That's
about 5).

Thanks,


Maraio1

I would advise joining your local Air Training Corps - you will be able to fly Grob Vigiliany Motorised gliders/ some non powered glider, and Grob
Tutors, all the way to solo, and instructor cadet.

This bit of advice would apply to any career goal, work your tail off in school. Give yourself over to succeeding at school (which I'm sure at
your age is BOOOORING) and you can succeed at whatever you put your mind to. It just takes effort on your part.
Next is more to the the point. Use the tutorial as a learning tool to help understand the techniques of pilotage and navigation. No, FSX is
not perfect but it can be used as a tool to learn how to fly the aircraft and not let it fly you.





If it's stupid, but it works, it isn't stupid.

Well I am one of the highest achiever at my school so should be easy to get some decent grades and then move on to collage. Would Maths,
Geography and Physics be good. (p.s. I love! all those subjects!)

Thanks
