Hi everyone,
I'm Felix, 16 and from Belgium. I've been into aviation since I was a kid, and I want to become a commercial pilot. I'm in secondary school, good at math and physics, and I've been in an English immersion program for 4 years, so I think the English side will be ok.
My plan is to get my Class 2 medical first, then Class 1, and apply for cadet programs at 18. I'm looking at LAT (Swiss/Lufthansa) and KLM, with Ryanair or easyJet as backup. I haven't flown yet but am booking a discovery flight soon.
A few questions:
- What should I actually focus on at my age to prepare for cadet selections ?
- Any good resources for LAT or KLM aptitude tests ?
- Is having a PPL before applying worth it or not really ?
- What do you wish someone had told you at 15 ?
- Do you have some advice to be a pilot?
Thank you,
Félix
