how can we become a commercial pilot?

Question

what is the procedure to become a pilot

Answer 1

First off. Airlines DO NOT require a degree. It is preferred. Secondly. Emery-Riddle is extremely expensive even though you can come out of there with a degree and your certs. you will still be flight instructing for a year before you get on with an airline. Find a good flight school near to you. http://www.beapilot.org is a good one that will list flight schools around your area. Take a discovery flight and find out if you like it or love it. If you don't love it you will not want to do this for a job. Best of luck.

Answer 2

You are tested for fitness not fatness, however, the problem is not when you are a commercial pilot but when you start training. I am also overweight and the first plane I flew as a pilot was a Cessna 150. Shall we say that with the instructor it was "cosy". It didn't worry me that we were so close but it might worry a young lady. The small training aircraft have strict weight limits and if you and your instructor exceed those limits you may be forced into flying a larger aircraft such as a P28. This is ok but it's more expensive. What others have said about future health issues still stands. Good luck in your training.

Answer 3

It really depends on what your situation is? If you haven't gone to college yet, you need to as the airlines require a degree, doesn't have to be a degree in aviation, but you may want to go that route. You may want to look into attending a school that has an aviation program. Some of the more prominent schools are Embry-Riddle, Daniel Webster College, and University of North Dakota, but do some research as there are a lot of smaller schools that offer great aviation programs like Bridgewater State College in Ma. These schools will allow you to attend college and get your licenses within their program.
If you have already gone to school, you would need to go to your local flight school and sit with a flight instructor and they will go over the steps that you will need to take to become a commercial pilot. Or you may want to think about attending something like Delta Academy as this is a training program that takes you from your private pilots license right to your first interview with a commuter airline.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Go to a good aviation school like Embry Riddle. Then work on your liscence ans certs I would avoid the big carriers the action is in the smaller planes. I know quite a few pilots that fly for the big carriers and they are not happy with their persent situation. The big carriers don't always take air force and it's not an easy ride to get either. Study and work hard and god willing you be flying the freindly skies.

Answer 5

The 1st step for almost everybody is to get their Private Pilot licence, & build on it from there. Find a flight training facility nearest you, & ask them all of the questions about aviation you want. It's their job to answer them.

First, get your private pilot's license. Then, continue studying for your commercial license (if you aren't instrument rated, get that too).

Any flight school would be able to help you.
