Have You Ever Wondered How to Become a Pilot?
Believe it or not, the dream of how to become a pilot is within your reach. So many people say "I've always wanted to learn how to fly", but they never do anything about it. If I were paid every time someone said that to me, I'd be a multimillionaire. How would you like to stop wondering, be someone who lives without regret and do something about it?
But - You Tell Yourself - I Don't Know the Requirements to Become a Pilot, It's So Expensive, I'm Not A Rocket Scientist And... Do I Even Have The Right Stuff?
Guess what? I'm about to dispel myths and light the way for you on the requirements to become a pilot:
You don't have to have a whole lot of money
You don't have to be a rocket scientist (only if you want to include that as part of your life experience), what I'm saying here is that you really don't need to have any fancy degrees
Heck, you don't even have to have perfect eyesight (as long as you have 20/20 corrected vision, you're good to go)
You can start at almost any age (basically starting at 14 years of age and up)
What you do need, however, is the desire to learn, the determination to not let obstacles get in the way of your learning and you need the best resources for learning, whether it's for a private license or taking it one step farther, for how to become a commercial pilot.
The First Crucial Step to Begin Your Journey on Becoming a Pilot
Part of having the best resources for learning how to become a pilot is taking that very first step. This first step is the most valuable, important and best value in your learning process. So, before jumping right in and spending a whole lot of money on ground school, books, maps, flight computers, headsets, aviator watches, and all that other stuff, you need to first find out whether you have "The Right Stuff".
In the good old days (1992), I did my homework by venturing to the library, spending hours sifting through books and magazines before deciding which ones to take home. Then, I ended up spending at least $2,000 on ground school books and the courses themselves, and then discovered that, Yes, I had the Right Stuff and met the requirements to become a pilot.
Affordability in Making Your Dreams of Flying Come True - Is it Possible?
The answer is "YES". Now, there are virtual online training programmes that teach you the basics. From a discerning pilot's point of view, however, the content of certain online programmes is better than others.
Up until now, the price for online courses were from $250 and up. On the other hand, there are some new contenders on the internet, comparable to the "big schools". You can now get started for less than $40. That's right, these online courses contain the complete JAR, UK NPPL & FAA ground school syllabus online courses, with everything you need to know at your fingertips. This is a great springboard, whether you just want to fly privately or whether you want learn how to become a commercial pilot and get paid to do what you love.
