I turn 16 tomorrow, live in the UK and as you can imagine, I want to be a pilot, shocker. Im just wondering if there is anyone with any tips on the finnancial side of the ppl. I’ve thought about a job but im going to try a business with my friend, is there anything I can do in aviation for the money (literally anything, cleaning air feild toilets for all i care) or other things people recommend to get the money like sponsorships. Also, any other advice about ppl training is appreciated.
Thanks.
There are/were scholarships (google GAPAN, the Air League, others) for PPL. Go to your local airfield and get known - get a cafe job, cleaning job,etc. Get in the environment and talk to people. +1 for the advice on the previous two posts.
