AI Thread Summary
To become a pilot, one must first obtain a private pilot license, which requires flight training and a certain number of flight hours. For commercial pilots, additional certifications and possibly a degree may be necessary, depending on the country and specific airline requirements. Joining a local pilot club can provide valuable information and resources. Experience is crucial, and costs can be significant, so financial planning is important. Aspiring pilots should start studying relevant materials and consider their long-term goals in aviation.

Hey I am 16 i just finished my ordinary level cambridge exams and I am planning of being pilot.So what are the requirements i need to be pilot?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
As as as i know there are two types: commercial pilot and government (air force) pilot.
May be you need to join pilot club near place and they will give you many information. Experience is based on hours of driving the air craft. Also i guess it is expensive.
good luck.
 
My guess would be to learn to fly and get your private pilot license, followed by joining the military.

I think you are from the US.

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
