How old are you ???
 

This may be a rude question but I am intersted in finding out the average age of ppruners here currently training/studies/hour building. Whats your current status ?

Also did you have a non-aviation career before you started ? When did you take the first step ?

Currently 27, doing PPL. First Solo at 13 hours(!) presently have a non-aviation career and took first step about 11 months (but in aviation started PPL back in April).

I actually applied to BA Sposorship back in 98 (suppose that was first step) and got an interview but not the place. It all started again in a big way in February when I spent two hours flying an Airbus A330 simulator at Alteon near Manchester-started PPL a few weeks later and not looked back.

Well done on getting into wings! It's an impressive achievement.

CPL, atp theory, IF or FI in november, undecided;)

G'day, I'm 18 atm and training in Echuca, Australia
Did my GFPT earlier this year at 21 hours and am going for my CPL at the end of the year(Once I finish year 12). Then am going for the Qantas cadets. Fingers crossed. Have about 27 hours atm.

23, doing PPL at the moment. Got a good engineering career behind me first before starting flying, want to go commercial and fly a Kingair for a living.

I am 32, employed airline pilot and part time instructor. I worked in the Aerospace Engineering industry before I was a professional pilot. Knew I wanted to be a pilot from about the age of 5, so been striving for it since then :).

Its a brilliant job :ok:.

I am 19 as well, going into second year in college. I've 14 hours done towards PPL since I started about three months ago. hopeing to go solo in 2-3 more hours within the next week or so.:uhoh:

I was more nervous when it was over-but enjoy the solo...it's great fun. Just remember the plane will go like a bat-out-of-hell without the passenger!

Always been into aviation, before my current job, I did a BTEC national diploma in aeronautical engineering at college, and worked part time whilst I was in college as a dingy sailing instructor, shop assistant at a boat yard and a sound engineer would you believe!
