What route?
Hi there...
I finally sat my flying aptitude tests with the Navy yesterday...passing the Air Traffic Controller and Observer areas, but unfortunatly failing the pilot elements of the tests. Exactlty the situation I didnt want!!
I can still try out for the Navy, but as a potential Observer, or... I can wait and resit the tests in a year, where "statistically" I'll pass as pilot but wont then have age (23) on my side.
Having not really looked into private/commercial training in any depth, due to focusing my attention on the navy, I'm unsure of the best route to take. I realise its very expensive, but conversly... the navy is very competitive.
It seems there are very little sponsership schemes out there for rotary pilot wannabes. ? and alot of ex-military guys are walk straight into any jobs.
Does anyone have any advice? particularly with the financial side of things.
Any comments appreciated.
Thank you.
