Ok, So I am only 14 but I have already started looking into preparations to be a pilot, now I have some questions to ask some of you, I've looked and it seems that learning to fly and obtain your CPL is a very expensive task to accomplish, and what grades are required?, I'm pretty sure I have bagged at least five C Grades at school, Is that enough for to become a pilot, and also I was curious what steps I should take to start becoming a pilot when I turn 16, I would also be curious as to where you fund your training from?, because taking a lone from the bank in excess of 40-100k is a very scary task in turn, I mean what if you fail your training; From where would you refund this large sum?, And could somebody please give me a guide showing the steps to become a pilot from square one?, I've thought of a idea but I don't know if there is a set-up like this where you train for free or something then you give a percentage of your wage once a qualified pilot to the company that trained you for free for a few years to repay the debt?, As I don't have a large sum of cash at my disposal when I am 16, I mean who dose?.
Thank you for taking time to read/respond to this; I look forward to your response.
