Some questions on the road to becoming a pilot...
I've been interested in becoming a pilot for a long time now...and I don't really know where to start off. So I have some questions to ask.
-Since genetics didn't pass down and I don't have 20/20 vision, clearly I can't apply for the Canadian Air Force. So would enrolling in the Royal Military College of Canada still be a good choice?
-How hard is it to get accepted from Embry-Riddle university?
-Also, to get a CPL, I believe that you need a certain amount of flight time. If I lack the required hours, what are some ways/jobs of building hours with a PPL?
-What are the requirements for ATPL?
-I plan on earning a diploma from a recognized university, then attend a flight school - most likely Professional Flight Centre (ProIFR) to earn my PPL, CPL, and ATPL. After so, I'll try to get "real" jobs as a pilot, (maybe regional at first, then move on to major airlines.) Does this sound like an "OK" plan for my future, or is there anything else I should know about?
Thanks very much in advance.
