Hi all, i can see that there are many aspiring pilots around. Well, for those uninitiated, being a pilot is not just about flying. A pilots' job entails many other tasks such as getting the latest weather forecast at the departure, enroute and destination aerodrome, route planning, fuel calculation, load and balance of the aircraft and more importantly, to get the passengers and crew from point A to point B not only by the fastest, most economical but the safest way as well etc etc just to name a few.
Flying is about passion not money and girls. I've seen cadets dropped out midway through flight training because either they underperform or eventually just realised that flying isn't what they've in mind all these while.
So, choose wisely. anyway, flying is a very unique profession whereby like one forumer has mentioned before, it is not so much of us choosing to be a pilot but it is more like only a selected elite few are screened and finally chosen among the thousands of aspirants whether we are suitable to be a pilot. Having excellent grades alone doesnt make one a good pilot either, many other factors, such as leadership qualities, character assessment comes into play. Bear in mind, not everyone has what it takes to be a pilot.
There is a fine line between being a pilot and being a good pilot.
Anyway, All the Best to All aspiring pilots! Hope to see you guys up there one day.
Cheers~
