SO YOU WANT TO BE A PILOT?
Both the Guild of Air Pilots and Navigators and the Royal Aeronautical Society receive many enquiries requesting advice and information about a career as a pilot. Captain Ralph Kohn, with the help of a committee of very experienced pilots has produced an informative booklet on the subject. This covers almost all aspects, from the qualities required of a potential applicant, through the selection process and training for both military and civilian pilots.
This publication has been updated for 2006 and is available from the Guild Offices. To obtain a copy send a stamped, self addressed A4 size envelope. Stamps required are 79p for First Class post, 58p for 2nd Class post). It is also available to download from
http://www.gapan.org/Papers/sywtbap.pdf .
However this is currently a very large pdf file (27mbs); it will hopefully be available as a smaller file in the near future.
