You would normally start work with an airline as a co-pilot & u would need to achieve a minimum of an Airline Transport Pilot is Licence (ATPL). This is known as a 'frozen' ATPL until u have completed enough flying hours to apply for a full ATPL & qualify as an airline captain.

You can qualify as an airline pilot in several ways but whichever route u take, u must be at least 21 to be issued with a full ATPL. You should be physically fit, with good hearing, eyesight & normal colour vision. Some airlines impose height & weight restrictions, & u must pass a strict medical.

The Guild of Air Pilots & Air Navigators (GAPAN) provides an aptitude test & assessment scheme for people with little or no flying experience. Although not a requirement for flight training, it could prove a useful way to decide whether u r suited to this career, before u make a financial commitment to training.

Private Training
You can fund ur own training at a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)-approved training school, but u would have to pay the full cost of the course (around £50,000 to £60,000 in total). You can get a complete list of training providers from the CAA personnel licensing department & the British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA) below.

Sponsored Training
Some airlines offer places on sponsored training schemes. You would normally need at least five GCSEs (A-C), including English, maths & science, & two A levels, preferably in maths & physics. The entry requirements can vary between companies, so check with individual airlines.

Armed Forces' Experience
If u r a qualified pilot from the armed forces, u can take a conversion course to gain a commercial pilot’s licence. There is strong competition for pilot training in the forces & u must serve a minimum term before taking up employment with an airline (See the RAF job profiles for details).

University Route
Several universities offer courses in air transport & operations with pilot training options. Some of these allow u to study up to frozen ATPL level. In most cases, u have to fund the flight training modules yourself. To search for colleges & universities offering these courses, visit the Universities & Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).

BALPA & the Air League have details about routes into this career, airline sponsorships, bursaries & scholarships. The Royal Aeronautical Society & GoSkills also have information about this job.

Know how to fly a plane and look cool. Degrees? Well, you need to be able to say, ' The temperature at Rome today is 25 DEGREES celsius.and we will be landing in 20 mins. Remember to take all your STUFF with you. Have a nice day.'

To become an airline piolot you need to get your frozen htpl which is the first part of a pilots licence you can get this from certain air fields. once you have it you must complete 1500 flying hours to get your full atpl and be allowed to fly. you must also pass a health test. you can do a degree at the new buckinghamshire uni that covers everything from flying to air traffic controll but it costs up to 40 000 to complete
