    No, you need 5 GCSEs as minimum qualifications.

  2. FOjackwallace says:

    you need 12 gcse’s and 5 A levels to be a pilot i think, do you need to know another laungage

  3. daemonium08 says:

  4. AP264 says:

    Not vital, but dont underestimate a good education. Most important quals are your flying licenses

  5. AP264 says:

    The Air Cadets organisation and University Air Squadrons require no commitment to join the RAF. Although they do recruit alot of their pilots through these routes.

  6. Bloodrally says:

    Looked up the raf uni sqauds, if you join u make no commitment to the RAF but they give you the option at the end ( I think ).

  7. FOjackwallace says:

    You said you went into the raf to do training but since we are at war with afghanistan, in the aremy and navy when you sign up you cant just drop out you have to be there for like 15 years ( minimum service) so hiw did you get around that ?

  8. tennisstar523 says:

    Can you get into flight school with glasses? Or become a pilot if you need glasses?

  9. Bloodrally says:

    Thank you for this video, I have been in the air cadets for around a year and a half now and i would also like to become a pilot. What kind of A levels did you do? And are Qaulifications vital in becoming a pilot?

    I have question well i know a friend who wants to become a pilot but im concerned i cant since he is overweight but he is tall this is his weight and height 120Kg -1.89m almost 2.00 meters. He is fit since he is tall almost 2 meters the weight didnt effect him he is even better than me when it comes down with sports. Could he be a pilot with this weight and height ? thanks in advance hope you can answer this tough question

  13. AP264 says:

    no you do not need a degree or university to become a pilot.

    Great video mate… Thanks for the inspiration… Currently i’m doing my Commercial pilot Licence as well with Frozen ATPL… It took me 8 years to realize my dream… :) Now im living that dream and never forget the hardship i went through to be here and to touch the Sky itself… :-) litterally…

    when i was little i wanted to be a bird and it made me unhappy that i didnt have wings, and when i turned 6 i went to an airshow and got a plane ride from one of my moms friends who flies air amblulances and it was so amazing. i realized that i didnt need wings any more. (im an american 8th grader and i still like this)

  18. AP264 says:

    Yes the course costs £71,000 I believe for 2010 (excluding accomd & living costs)
