1. Ensure your medical is sound

2. Go to GAPAN - The Guild of Air Pilots & Air Navigators and get your psychometrics checked out and they will give you a realistic view based on your natural ability.

3. Alas, from my experience the late starters can find it difficult and often fail to achieve commands . There are exceptions , maybe you are one of them.

4. There are currently hundreds of surplus pilots , more going through the system.

5. You are taking a gamble at a stage in your life when you may not be able to recover financially should it not work out .

6. If you can afford to lose the money then go ahead and enjoy the challenge, if you can't then maybe devote your time to private flying.

7. These are the hard facts , however good luck whichever direction you choose.
