Okay we've heard!

I Applied for this pilot internship at Bristow Last year, unfortunately I didn't make it through because I hold a Higher National Diploma and not B.Sc. Some of you don't know how golden this opportunity is, a pilot career is among the top flight careers out there, yes it's a career with high class. Though It's a privilege to become a pilot but first it all starts with a passion for flying.

Telvinsahpa:
Its well, all I know is the its given to somebody before it here

fritxie101:

Please since u applied last year, d qualification isn't clear to me, so I was jus wondering if one need to have studied anytin related to aviation to scale thru d exercise. For starters can u jus teLl me ur field of study?pls and tnk you.

Nigerdeltaboi:

same thing puzzling me too

kraftykc:





The reason they ask for a FIXED wing license is because converting pilots from fix to rotor is cheaper than training them from scratch. Only 100hrs is required by the FAA to add on ur fix wing license to convert it to heli, its so much cheaper than training from scratch which can cost up to $80,000.

It varies... Could be anywhere from $9k to $14 even with the exchange rate and that may be inclusive of all the prerequisites such as medical, ground school, check ride and certification.

For fixed wing , maybe yes, but for Heli's. It aint happening with even 20k USD. last i was there, an hour cost $300 and the average person gets to between 55-60 hrs, next is the ground sch, depends on ur aptitude, u can spend close to 1500 on that alone, then the test was about 500 bucks and thats if u pass once, if u have to redo the test, u paying another fee, then theres the medical , written exams , books, rent and maybe u wld be needing a car cos most airports are outta town , so if u factor all that in , you wld be spending a while lot more than 25k USD.

manny4life:


Oh, it's for heli... Got it, I thought he was asking for fixed wing.. Never mind then. Although even at that, one must shop around. Spending $25k on PPL is too expensive. If you spend $25k on PPL, what will you do to when it comes to a CPL that requires a lot of hours? I still think anyone with the right mind can achieve that regardless. Rotor wing may be more expensive than fixed wing, but the approach is the same anyway.

Not to sound rude but are you a pilot?
