I want to get my pilots license but I have NO IDEA how?
Okay, so my goal is to either attend an Air Force Academy or join an ROTC (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) through a 4-year University. I am currently a Junior (11th grade) in High School and I want to get my pilot license in the summer of 2025. I know what the requirements are for an FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) private pilot certificate: 1. 17 years of age 2. Fluency in English 3. Hold at least a third-class medical certificate from an Aviation Medical Examiner 4. 40 hours of total flight time (20 with an instructor/10 solo/specific types of training such as flight maneuvers, navigation, cross-country flights, and night flying) 5. Ground School completion through an FAA-approved school 6. Pass the FAA Private Pilot Written Exam (70% or higher to pass) 7. Pass the Checkride (An oral exam and flight test conducted by an FAA-designated pilot examiner) However, I do not know how or where to find a flight school, ground school, or flight instructor that is affordable for a 17-year-old teenager from a low-income family working several part-time jobs already.

I am in 9th grade, and I am interested in many career choices. The one that has me the most intrigued is an Air Force Pilot. My question is, what would a day in the life of a fighter pilot be like?
In school, I am most interested in Math, Science, and Language Arts. Some of my hobbies include, sports, playing guitar, hunting, fishing, and playing video games. A topic that I am passionate about is that of Aviation, and Aeronautical Engineering. I have an idea of what I want to do ( USAF fighter pilot) and I was wondering what it would be like to go through the Air Force Academy route to becoming a pilot. #pilot #aviation #airplane

What is daily life for working Federal Air Marshal ?
What do Federal Air Marshal do everyday? do they tend working with FBI or DHS for collecting the information? or They just get in airplane and just stare at people try to catch them? Also, ( I not try to get you to dig deeper about Air Marshal that can be helpful for terrorists), Do you/your department focus on specific airplane like international plane etc. #career #airplane #aviation# federal #law-enforcement

What electives should I take if I want to be a commercial pilot for a big company like Delta, AA, etc. somewhere in the future?
I am in 8th grade and I want to be a commercial pilot. My choice for electives are coming up and I want some advice from someone on which electives I should take. At the moment, I am in the level 1 (advanced) classes for both English and Algebra 1. I will be taking Geometry Honors next year as well as English. I am wondering if I should. Bother going honors in biology and world history to make time for more math and computers (CP1). Is keeping a good GPA important in this field? Bridgewater State seems like a good college to go to near me (any recommendations for that?) so that I can get my pilots license. Also, are there any other classes I should take, whether extracurricular or not. Would being a pilot (not a fighter/bomber) in the Air Force be worth the time to get a good job? Thanks! If you have any questions please ask me! P.S. I looked on faa.gov and medically, it seems I qualify for the job. #air-force #anyone #commercial-pilot #airplane #commercial-aviation #aircraft-maintenance #airline-pilot #airplane-pilot

I'm interested in becoming a Aircraft Mechanic but there are a few things holding me back
As title states.. So i'm really interested and excited going into this unique field. I've read some other people's experience about the job but what really concerns is the part of the night shifts and relocating. I don't mind doing night shifts in the early career but around how long does it last? Because I do would like to spend some time with my family. And how is the relocation? Do relocate just to fix something and then come back? Or is it relocate permanently ? After obtaining the AME, what other positions does it qualify you for? I live in Montreal, Quebec if that helps... #airline-industry #aircraft #airplane #aircraft-maintenance #aircraft-mechanic #airplane-mechanic
