A young pilot in the making...

[Habbex]

Hi everybody!

I really need your help in how to become a pilot!

I'm a Arab born in Sweden, and longed to become a pilot since the early ages in my life. But every since 9/11 attack, I have found it hard to become a pilot since I'm an Arab..

I applied to a aviation high school here in Sweden, and made all the testes. The strange thing is that I'm 100% sure that I passed all the tests, but they said that I failed without showing me my test results. And also the whole atmosphere suddenly changed when they found out that I'm Palestinian...

I'm sure that they didn't accept me just because I'm an Arab, and fearing that I would become a terrorist..

So thats why I'm planing to become a pilot in the middle east to eliminate the terror-fear..

So which Arabic country should I apply to?

How high does my grades need to be?

I have in the three main grades to become a pilot:

Math Step: A-D, Grade: C
Physics Step: A-B, Grade: C
English Step: A-C, Grade: B+

Please help me guys..

I was in the States few months back and the school had about 7-8 Arabic guys. Half of them were Saudi, other half Egyptian.

Dude, you might want to look at Rabigh Wings flight school, currently based out of KAIA Jeddah, to be shifted to Rabigh pretty soon.
5 C172s Glass cockpit, Seneca's, a seminole, and an arrow. 5 C172s and couple of of low wings SE to join the fleet soon.
If money is not a big concern, it might be the place for you. All training based on FAA Jepp 141 Syllabus.

If money is not a big concern

..... why bother, its extremely expensive, look to Jordan, almost half the price. But the big problem is getting hired as a low time pilot, regardless of nationality~

Getting in may be the bigger problem.
