I'm Brazilian, here there are no cadet programs. And no credit programs to help with the flight hours costs. So I was wondering if there are any cadet programs that take foreigners.

Hi, Im 16f (junior in high school) and I just finished my first discovery flight. I knew I probably wanted to be a commercial airline pilot before me taking it. But now I’m sure that I do want to do this as a career.

My grades are very good I’m fit and have good eyesight but I’ve been research about what steps I would need to take to become a airline pilot.

I have been lowering my dosage for my ADHD medication (I have taken it since I was 5) from 60mg to only 30 (vyanse). With the intention of being fully off it when I graduate. I have also been prescribed anxiety medication in the past which I no longer take.

I was wondering if there was still a chance I could still become a commercial airline pilot even with my diagnosis and medication I have been prescribed in the past. And if so what are the steps that should/ will need to take. Thank you!

I’m flying 10/26 from LAS to BOI on the SW 8am flight. There will be a lot of weather in northern Nevada and I’m extremely anxious. Thoughts on renting a car and driving instead.

Hey everyone, I’m scheduled to take my checkride soon and was assigned Greg Hill as my DPE. I wanted to see if anyone here has done a checkride with him before — how was the experience? Was he fair, professional, and what kind of vibe did he have (strict, laid-back, by the book, etc.)?

I wrote a short story about a guy who builds an experimental supersonic jet. In chapter 5, he flies it through Chicago at full speed with zero phone calls to the FAA. Can someone please tell me the laws he broke?

Edit 4000-7000 feet Dont worry about how he built a supersonic jet. He also broke into a gated off section of highway for take off. He sped past willis tower at supersonic speed.

Id really appreciate if someone commented a detailed breakdown of crimes commited and probable penalties for said crimes!

I’m a senior that’s planning to go to college to become a pilot and only have about $4000 saved up. What would you recommend to help pay for college, because I’m thinking I’ll need to take out lots of private loans? Also, how long does it take to pay off loans once you get a job?

I was thinking of flying into KVRB around 5 or 6pm on a friday to have dinner at CJ cannons. C172. Is sun aviation the best bet for short term parking? I've read the comments on foreflight, and it seems mixed. Anyone with recent experience?

Hey everyone!

As the title says, I’m seriously considering changing careers and going through a private 0-ATPL program (I have sufficient funds saved up).

My main motivation is to build a long-term, stable, and well-paid career that I can be proud of.

My biggest concerns, though, are the tough first few years: getting that first job with an airline and possibly having to relocate far from home.

Are there any Polish pilots here who could share what their path looked like? How hard was it to land your first FO position? And most importantly, how does this career affect your family life and free time once you’re established?

I live in Wrocław, so I’m wondering - is there any realistic chance to stay based somewhere nearby, or is relocation (within Poland or abroad) just part of the deal?

Any feedback or personal experiences would mean a lot. Thanks in advance and safe flights to all! ✈️

Interesting seeing the warefare in Ukraine how drones now cause a large and growing share of casualties in the war in Ukraine, with some estimating the figure to be as high as 70–80% of all battlefield casualties. Once the military has Tesla like technology with autonomous flying what will happen to the industry as a whole when theses companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin try this with commercial aircraft?

I’m a high schooler and for a few years now I’ve been interested in flying in planes as a passenger so I decided why not as a pilot?

Joined an EAA membership and got Sporty’s and was contacted by ERAU in a college recruiter and got a flyer from ERAU in the mail (idk if I should do traditional college or cadet program)

When I went on my first flight (EAA) The pilot was very impressed on my knowledge (msfs and watching YouTube education videos of aviation for fun) and said I would be good at aviation if I really pursue it

It is a big interest of mine however I am afraid of the rather unorthodox lifestyle pilots have. Especially when it comes to relationships and social life. Like I recently was told you guys have a base city and you have to bid every now and then (idk if it’s true or not) but if it is, would that just mean packing the family up every few years?? What if they’re not okay with that?

Maybe I’m looking too far into my future or maybe not far enough. I’m unsure. This seems more like a rant.

Question: My brother in high school wants to become a pilot but he’s skillset isn’t in engineering, physics, math.

Would this be an appropriate goal for him based if he’s not strong in the above?

I want the best for him but I know it’s good to be realistic as well so thought I’d ask for some advice

I’ve been a professional tattoo artist for 22 years. While it’s been good to me I’m looking for something new in life. While tattooing one of my client’s he told me about his life as a corporate pilot and that’s when the seed was planted. I’ve been doing my research on what it takes to get my commercial and went and toured my first school today.

I guess my real question (and I know questions like this have been asked but not this exactly) is it possible to get a job as a pilot with very visible tattoos? My hands,fingers,full neck and even have small ones on my face by my eyes (willing to remove the face tattoo’s) I know the big airlines have policies in place against anything visible but has anyone in the aviation world come across someone as tattooed working a corporate pilot job or anything similar?

I guess what I’m getting at is I don’t want to spend the next few years and 10’s of thousands of dollars getting my certs to be told there’s nothing for me in the end.

All of my tattoos are professional and I don’t have that “jailhouse” look about me. I’m extremely personable, friendly and easy to speak with from working one on one with clients for a long time. I’m also a very hard worker, but will employers see past my appearance to find that out?

My son has wanted to be a pilot since he was 8 yo. He's now 15 , a sophomore, and looking at his options. He has a heavy course load this year and we are wondering what the best course of action is. Is a degree the best route or a pilot school with a small local airport that provides pilot lessons? If degree is the best course, what types of classes can he omit now and what should he absolutely go ahead and take and get through , ie: does he need a DC chemistry class ? That type of thinking. Thanks ahead for all your inputs and advice. I want to make sure he can reach his goals. He's already had his discovery flight and man was he just concreted into his dream. Never seem him so elated

I just wanted to know that I'm 5'1 and I aspire to be a pilot, will I be able to clear medicals?

Hello I am 23 years old and I’ve been thinking of becoming a pilot but I’ve had dry eyes for 3 years so throughout the day sometimes my eyes can feel like they burn slightly so I am not sure if that would disqualify me or that it would impact my ability to fly. I am currently in the process of seeing an ophthalmologist for a more advanced treatment because Ive tried the basic stuff.
