Re: Advice to become a pilot

Hi,

I was also in the same position as you at this stage last year.
What I ended up doing was finishing my A-Levels, while at the same time finishing off my PPL at my local Flying Club. At that time I also went to Gatwick to do the Class 1 Medical, just to make sure I could go ahead with Commercial Training. As it happened, I ended up going to University for the first Semester to do an Aeronautical Engineering Degree, whilst at the same time applying for any schemes that were going.
As things have worked out, I'm going to be starting in FTE in Jerez at the end of the month. I withdrew from University having only been required to pay the fees up until the point I left, so financially it wasn't as bad as I had anticipated for having a backup just in case.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
