When
i was a child my grandpa bring me evrywhere, i guess evryone's grandpa bring
you evrywhere because as we know the favourite pastime of grandparents is to
bring children while moms and dads are busy. I was only 7 years old and was
a time when i used to live with my grandpa "Nonno Giovanni"; he brings me to
lot of places around Naples , but my favourite place was the airport; I was
going to be excite evry time i saw planes taking off or land, but when
people ask me if i would like to jump in one of that i always say:" No, No,
Please nevermind I am scared no i'll never jump in on a plane". One day,
during a visit at the airport, we met a pilot ,old friend of Nonno Giovanni,
capitain for Alitalia airlines who invite us for a fly around the gulf of
Naples after that flight i never been scare about fly anymore and my passion
for aircraft and fly and maybe travel as weel starts
The dream to became an airline pilot flow down 'cause
in Italy the trainig for be a pilot is very expensive and is not affordable
frome evrybody, in fact the only fly school for airline pilot , the
Ailitalia Skymaster, cost about 120 000 € and all course size are limitaded,
I tryed to join that school twice but my admssion rejected for these reason
i started reserch outside italy and thanks to a great person and a great
friend i found out Aerospace Aviation
Flight School where i will learn to fly and i will be an airline pilot in 2
years for only 55000 A$ ( 32000 €)
But... what i have to do to become an airline
pilot? At first i suggest to take a flight on a small aircraft like
a
Cessna or a Seaplane in to the chockpit only after this flight you will be
really able to understand what you want from fly go to any Flight Club in
the your nearest airport and ask for a flight it will be cost about 150 €
per hour; after this you've to obtain a Commercial Pilot License ( CPL )
that's a certificate who allow people to fly for reward whit this license
you will be able to work as a pilot, at Aerospace Aviation in Australia you
get this license in about 1 year for a full commercial training is mandatory
to get the IFR ( Instrument flight raiting) and the Multi engine license.
You have to get, after the CPL, the Airline transport pilot certificate (
ATPL ) who will allow you to comand a crew and work for any airline; with
the ATPL frozen ( ATPL witouth fly experence) you will be able to apply for
an airline job, the last things is simple FLY more hour you will fly more
money will you make, if you will be a pilot for any airline you've to get
any abilitation for evry single aircraft that you wish to pilot; the
carrieer will take a long or shor time to became o capitain but it's the
same in evry carreer you choose to take it's up to you, but i am sure that
if you belive in what you do and if you really like to fly, the wait won't
be really hurts; The salary for pilots, according with information that
evryone can get from the net, is between 23,000US$ and 250,000US$ per year,
as you see is a really big range depending on a lots of things such as
experince (hours flew), type of airline, type of aircraft and country where
are you working.
But... how i have to be for be a pilot?
The
longtime stereotype of airline pilots is that they are male, fearless,
perfectly fit, good at math, trained in the military, blessed with perfect
vision,
all paid like super senior 747 captains and only at work three days every
other month.
In the 1950s, some of these notions were accurate. The a
verage professional
pilot was a white man with a military background who didn't wear glasses. With a little career luck, he became a senior
pilot flying the largest planes and, as such, made the big bucks; Today the
story is changed in fact women's pilot are increased and half of
professional pilots never flew in the military and as long as the vision is
correctible to 10/10 ( 20/20 ) pilots can wear glasses if you wish to be a pilot and
you think you'll be not able please rember this important things TO BE A
PILOT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SUPERMAN... I met, during my
school and university carreer, a lot of peple who think that to be a civil
aircraft pilot you've to be PERFECT, that's not true... You need only to be
in heatlth ( no hearth or bloody disorders ) and fit enought to pass a
medical examination twice a year.
