Any good advise ?
Hi there guys, my first time on PPRUNE.
My name is Kevin and Im 17 yrs old and presently in grade 11. ( Cape Town based)
I need some help here. I have a interest in becoming a pilot (preferbly rotor wing).
My grades at school are pretty good however im not sure what kind of results are needed for the SAAF, ( does skin colour matter? ) or are their any other requirements one needs?
I have heard that trying to get a PPL privately costs about a 100 grand, then one still needs to get a further 150 hrs for a comm... after all that, i have been told that you cannot easily get work with 200 hrs..any truth in this?
HELP please, where do i start?
Thanks chaps
Kevin.
