QuestionI'm in grade ten this year; what subjects should I choose in order to become an airline pilot? Do I absolutely have to go to uni in order to become one?Mzm555Top AnswererStudying physics, mathematics and science would be of great benefit, introducing you to some basic aeronautic principals, physics equations and mathematical concepts you will use while learning to fly. While attending university is not a must to become an airline pilot, it is highly recommended if you wish to become a commercial/international airline pilot. Without attending university, you can learn to fly from private organizations, or you may apply for a cadetship offered by various some airlines.

QuestionHow much would it cost approximately from start to end to become a private pilot?Mzm555Top AnswererIt depends hugely on where you have received your flight instruction, tuition, exams, ratings, plane hire, and so forth. In Australia, generally from "start to end" (Unlicenced, Recreational Pilots Licence (RPL), then Private Pilots Licence (PPL), it will cost around $20,000 - $25,000. Note, however, you cannot undertake any paid work or employment with a Private Pilots Licence. To be employed/paid as a pilot of any kind, you need to obtain a Commercial Pilots Licence, which can range anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 (this includes the pricing of RPL and PPL as well).
