Thinking about letting our son do the PPL?
Hi all,

I recently got our 15 yr old son a trial flight for his birthday, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I've spoken to him about potentially continuing this and going for the PPL.

The question I have is does holding a PPL increase your chances of going on to a career in aviation? I understand becoming a Commercial Pilot isn't straight forward and the chances are low becoming one. The reason I ask the question is that this is a big financial commitment for us and if having a PPL doesn’t enhance your chances of becoming a Commercial Pilot then is it worth going for one?

Thanks in advance

William
