I am interested in learning

I am interested in learning to fly but I have some questions. If I was to pay for the PPL training up front how long will it take to get my license? I am also interested in qualifying as an instructor. How much money do instructors earn? And do you have to have your own aircraft? I would eventually hope to be able to qualify for flying jet aircraft. At 29 years old is this just a pipe dream or is it something I can realistically do. And could I earn money from it? Regards Tom

Hello Adil

You can have a lesson at any age, but you can only log the time for the issue of a licence when you have reached 14. You can fly solo at 16 and get a licence at 17. I hope this helps

John Pugh (Chief Flying Instructor)

Thank you ill be flying soon
