So I should apply other than USA.....What about South Africa & what do you mean if I fail medical. So far I know if I fail medical I wont get admission in any flying school. What about doing B.A & a cpl/atpl
In order to get pilots license you have to get a Class 1 medical
A class 1 medical is valid for 1 year and you have to renew it every year for the rest of your life as pilot in order to keep your pilots license .
If at any point in your career if fail your medical test and remain permanently unfit you will lose your pilots license along with your pilot job
Every year a certain number of pilot lose their pilot license because they are unable to pass their medical test
In India once you get an ATPL you have to pass the medical test every 6 months
It becomes harder to pass the test as you become older
Its in situations like this that a college degree will become very useful
I am not sure about South Africa but I believe in order to work in South Africa you need permanent residence / citizenship
Its going to be that way in all the countries around the world
