My name is Magali I am a senior in high school, I am currently doing a project based on our pathway to interview a pilot or pilot in training to answer my questions. I need at least three people to answer. Please take a moment to answer the following questions. Thank you for your time I...

Hi, I've recently been accepted to Virginia Tech for majoring in physics. However, I'm not sure if this is a good major? I know physics is a very difficult major and I'm not sure it's the greatest degree to become a commercial pilot. I originally wanted to major in Aviation but it was too...

I recently met a student pilot in his 50s at the Sling Pilot Academy. I did a short video interview below. At first I thought he was just there to get a private pilot license. But he says he plans to go all the way to become a commercial pilot and work for the airlines. My initial reaction was...

Hi, I'm Adan, a student pilot. I fly at a small airport in Snohomish, WA. I'm 17 and I was wondering if there were any other young pilots on this website. If so, make yourself known! Adan :)

1. Is there in scholarships that I can apply for to pay for flight training or college itself? 2. Is there a better route for my education/flight training?

Have you considered how a flight school may impact a student completion of the training?

I run an aviation YouTube channel Mojogrip and I'm looking for pilot/aircraft owners local to Atlanta to feature on the channel. Big plus if you are in a partnership with your aircraft. This is a side of ownership that I've always wanted to discuss on the channel. If you're interested, respond...

So in 2016 I was arrested for a felony drug charge, but the charges were eventually dropped. Next year I am able to expunge the arrest on my record, I've talked to a few people they said it's extremely unlikely that I could be an airline pilot. Someone suggested I try to apply for a first class...

Hello. I have wanted to fly my entire life, and it is something that I have wanted to do for a living for as long as I can remember. I got my private pilot certificate about 5 years ago but had to stop flying because I was not able to afford it. I am still not able to afford to fly...

My story seems to be like a lot of folks: I got my private, flew some friends and the ex-wife around SoCal, and, with 88 hours in my book, stopped flying in 1999. It seems that time, money, and life all got in the way. I have a single entry in 2004 for 2.1 hours of dual out of CRQ. I remember...

I'm considering one of these as my home airport. PDK although closer seems a lot busier and more corporate-like with a few mom n pop businesses. Where as LZU is a bit further out, But the few times I've been there, it's been fairly quiet and I see some pilots/owners hanging around. What's been...

Hi folks! Here's the latest aviation video, this time from Orlando Exec > Brooksville > Venice for dinner. It's more of a comedy video rather than a traditional flying video ... but it's all a bit of fun. Enjoy!

I am currently in San Antonio, after having flown the red-eye here this morning. I became an airline pilot at age 49, after suffering 17 years at an unrelated & unsatisfying career. I used all the lame excuses about "why" I could not become an airline pilot. I told myself I couldn't take the pay...

Hello everyone! This is just a general pilot poll. I'm curious to see where everyone is on licensing. In the poll above, just select the highest license/rating you hold. If you are an ATP and have your CFI, then select ATP. Hopefully this poll can give everyone a general idea of how the pilot...

Hey everyone, I am working on a platform called Hangaround that aims to help airports build and engage with their community. It allows you to join airport groups and participate in conversations pertaining to that airport. Airport information is open-source, so any airport member can add or edit...
