How I became A pilot
It started for me 13 years ago when my father bought me a trial lesson for 1 hour. It was A beutiful Sunny day in England and the adrenaline rush you get when you are bomming down the runway at 75 mph is second to none. One we got above the clouds the instructor gave control to me for a few mins and i was flying a PLANE !!! on top of some fluffy clouds it was amasing. This Inspired me to become a pilot and from that day I fell in love with flight. After saving long and hard i Decided I would love to make a career out of it and at the age of 18 i got my private pilots licence. More recently i obtained a commercial pilots licence.

Tips to getting a aeoplane licence
Hre are a few pointers which helped me become a pilot.
1) Find A local flying school near to you and book A trial lesson, make sure you try it befor you buy it ask as many questions as yo can think of.
2) have the money ready to go before you start the course as i found out the hard way I had to save all my pocket money and there was huge gaps between my lesson and of course like anyone i forgot what i did before.
3) Make sure you have the time to follow it through yo'll be supprise how amny people get half way through and lose interest or dont have the time to complete it. Its your money dont waste it!
4) Buy yourself A Fight simulator with a good joystick this wonderfull piece of kit will teach you so much and you can practice all your checks and practice the lessons you did before.
5) Talk to all the instructors before you fly with them and ask other students which ones are good or not before you start flying as bad habbits will start early if you are not carfull.
6) Please please please get your theory exams out the way as soon as you can evan before you start flying as they can be the most boring and time consuming part of the course
7) Get in to the habbit of A high level of concentration as this is key to you becoming a safe and professional pilot.
8) As part of learnig where all the relevant buttons and levers and conrols are in your aircraft, go and sit in it before each lesson and evan after as it will help you to learn where everything is. This can also be used to practice your checks.
9) Alway keep a good LOOK OUT for other aircraft in your lessons and tis is breifed in every lesson. There are a lot of dangerouse pilots out there believe it or not and yu will be responsible for your own seperation from other aircraft.
10) Never rush your checks especially before take off and landing.
