How to Become a Pilot?!🧑🏽‍✈️🛩 Part 3: Flight School Cost & Low Cost Alternatives 💵 Always a very difficult matter, especially for people that have just finished high school and want to become a pilot. It is a huge amount of money, that will be a good investment for the future, BUT you do need to find a way to pay it up front. And with huge investment comes huge risk. However, if there are other options, if you can’t pay the full amount. 💰 1. Airline Cadet Program. 👩🏼‍✈️ Some airlines have cadet schemes where they hire suitable candidates and educate these candidates themselves. This means that you can apply for the cadet program without any pilot licence. If you are accepted, you will do the pilot training internally and you are sure to have a job with that airline after finishing the ATPL course. Some companies have fully sponsored cadet programs, other companies do require you to pay the training cost beforehand, but you are more sure of getting a job immediately after you finish flight school. This reduces the financial risk. 👍🏼 On pilotlindy.com you find a list of useful links to Cadet Programs all over the world! 🌍 2. Military pilot course. 👮🏽‍♂️ The country’s government covers the training cost. But of course, being a military pilot in the airforce is completely different than commercial pilot in an airline. You need to be sure that you can cope with this type of job. 💯 3. Modular ATPL course. 👩🏽‍🎓 In a modular course, you could work full time to fund your pilot training and every time you have saved enough money you could start a new module. There are also schools that provide distance learning, it’s much cheaper as you don’t attend theory classes but do all the studying by yourself. You will receive all the study books (eBooks) and prepare for the official exams by yourself. 📚 4. Country Sponsored Pilot Training 🇫🇷 🇸🇪 It’s very rare, but some countries provide sponsorships for pilot training (France and Sweden for example) if you pass the selections! ✅ I hope these different options are helpful to you. As always: Do your research online so that you can find out what is the most suitable option in your situation. Be sure to understand all conditions before signing any contract! 📝
