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.

Thread 'Never think never for an improbable event'

Pilot training is critical to safe flying. I watched the following video regarding the crash of TAM 402 (31 October 1996), which crashed into a Sao Paolo neighorbood about 25 seconds after takeoff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAM_Transportes_A%C3%A9reos_Regionais_Flight_402 The pilots were never trained to handle such an event (the airline had asked the manufacturer about training for this event), since it was considered too improbable (so rare) by the manufacturer.
