What is the process of beignning a career in aviation?

There are many steps to follow on the road to beginning a career in aviation. First, of course, is beginning your training towards your private pilot's license. There are a couple of ways that you can begin. You can start by trying out a Discovery Flight Lesson, where you can go up with one of the instructors and feel what it is like to command an aircraft. If you decide after a Discovery Flight or already know that you want to be a pilot and want to dive right into your training, you can start setting up flights with an instructor to work towards your private pilot's license.

From there you can begin work on your ratings such as the instrument rating. In your instrument training, you learn how to fly the aircraft by the instruments without visual reference to the ground. Read more about an instrument rating here!

Once you complete your instrument rating, you can begin training towards the commercial certificate. This certificate is required if you would like to recieve any compensation as a pilot. You can read in more detail about what that certification requires here! From there, you can build your hours toward your career in aviation by becoming a flight instructor.
