Where to Start? (For becoming a Pilot)
Hello everyone!
Since I was 12, I have had a deepened interest in aviation. I participate in aviation fourms and enjoy discussing and learning about the subject. I'm now 15, and really considering a career as an Airline Pilot.
The thing is, I've no clue where to start. I've never actually been in the cockpit of a plane and know little of controls etc. I know some of the technical side eg: Lift, Wind, Go-Arounds (which I'll admit isn't much) but I don't know what to do to even half follow my interests.
My end game would be to become a pilot for a commercial airline, preferably for an Irish airline. I would also like to get my training done in Europe.
So where should I start? Should I get lessons on light aircraft for my birthday (June)? What are the requirements for becoming a pilot?
I'm really clueless on the issue.
