CPL at 18

People's views on a CPL at 18 [email protected]


I am currently in my AS year at school, this is the point in which all the teachers start asking about your university choices. I have been interested all my life about flying and I have been working towards my PPL very slowly since 13. I am now looking at speeding the process up and moving onto my JAR-CPL.

I keep hearing about people starting this license much later in life and I am worried that starting it at 18 seems like the wrong thing to do. I am also still uncertain about the funding but putting that aside, this may be done at OAT or somewhere in America. I would like to do commercial piloting as a full time career from the start but is it wise to start so young as I have not heard any similar stories so far (maybe I have not looked hard enough)

I would be very grateful if you could help me with this situation and advise me on the correct direction to go. This will also help me with research on flying schools to keep my teacher quiet!!!
