Hello everyone
i am afraid I am one of the old crusty airline pilots who came up via the instructor route. A friend of mine asked me the other day how he could become an airline pilot and I could not provide the answer(I am still wondering how I made it!)
I know there is a modular route but apart from the obvious whats it all about, can anyone layout the basics for my pal Mark who will be looking on here tonight? (Hello Mark!)
I believe you have to have around a 100 hours P1, can anyone suggest how u can get these as cheaply as possible. Mine cost £5 per hour, i just looked through Flight and found the cheapest club. I think some of you go to the US now or even buy a share in an aircraft. What ab
oops i got cut off
is the city of london polytechnic still going at the minories, tower hill, thats were i did the writtens as it was the cheapest. evertime I turn onto 27R I am reminded of the pain and the money!
can you use those stick type aircraft that seem to fly at the stall all the time to build up hours
