Well, first off, good to great math skills would be needed for calculations. A good memory, gotta remember where all those important buttons are and what they do. Good communication skills (in my opinion). And of course, you need to go to a Flying School.

Let's see.  Which service is known for flying in the AIR?\n\nTo become an Air Force pilot, you must have a 4-year college degree.  The 3.5 GPA is in high school or in college?  \n\nIf you are still in high school, congratulations for thinking ahead.  Contact your high school counselor and/or the local Air Force Recruiter.  The Recruiter is the point-of-contact for the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC).  They can also direct you to the local contact for the Air Force Academy.\n\nIf you are in college, contact the Air Force Officer Training School (OTS) Recruiter.  They can get you scheduled for the proper tests (physical & mental) to verify qualifications for the Air Force.\n\nThe Air Force Recruiters are required by regulation to make sure each person that comes into their office understands what the highest (most difficult) program that they qualify for.\n\nGood Luck!

You dont need the same qualifications as say, a judge. Honesty integrity and the ability to mete out justice in a fair and balanced manner would be ideal.

Very few people actually become pilots. I have a friend of mine who joined the Air- force as flying officer but never given chance to even sit in a fighter plane. So please do the necessary research before joining it. This is my personal opinion.

You seem to be an Indian. To become a commercial pilot in India, one has to first possess a Student Pilot License (SPL). To get the SPL you should have 10+2 education (with science) and your age should be at least 16 years.\n\nYou should register at a flying club which is recognized by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Government of India.\nA list of flying clubs can be found here:\nhttp://www.webindia123.com/career/travel/flyclub.htm\n\nThe second step is the Private Pilot License (PPL). PPL training includes sixty hours of flying of which about fifteen hours are dual flights, that is accompanied by the flight instructor and at least 30 hours of solo flights apart from five hours of cross-country flying. This makes one eligible for the PPL exam, which consists of Air Regulation, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Aircraft Engines and Seamanship. The prescribed age for appearing for this exam is 17 years and an educational qualification of 10+2 along with a medical Fitness Certificate issued by the Armed Forces Central Medical Establishment (AFCME).\n\nA Commercial Pilot Licence may be obtained only after a PPL rhas been acquired. To obtain a Commercial Pilots License (CPL) 250 hours of flying (including 60 hours for the PPL) is necessary. Besides that you have to undergo a Medical Fitness Test which is held at New Delhi and an examination which consists of Air Regulations, Aviation Meteorology, Air Navigation, Technical, Planning, and communications in the form of Radio & Wireless Transmission. With the CPL, a pilot can take up any professional assignment.

There are two aspects to learning to fly, taking it that you are interested in obtaining a Private Pilot's License (U.S.).  To obtain a license, one must pass a written test, accumulate a certain level of experience and pass a flight exam.  A good place to start is to contact a local flight school and take an introductory flight.  A good approach is to do the book learning first, taking the ground school portion first.  Many community colleges offer these courses, and they can be otherwise be taken through a flight school at your local airport.  Hope this helps.  See the link below to the legal requirements for licensing.  Good luck!

Only way your gonna get your wings is by getting into the Air Force Academy. I would suggest you think about flying helicopters for the Army. Air Force Academy fills it's flying ranks internally through the academy, as does Navy Air Corp from Annapolis. Army will take college grads who have been through ROTC in college and you can petition to become a helicopter pilot otherwise enjoy being an officer  as a radar operator, communications specialist, navigator or mechanic in the Airforce or Navy

hi,\n\nski instructor qualifications are awarded by the governing body i.e. BASI (british system) or CASI (canadian system)\n\nEssentially there are two ways to do it:\n\n1. there are lots of companies which run courses. I did one of these. it was fun but realtively expensive. i.e. you give them money, they will probably sort out food accomodation, training and booking of courses for you.\n\n2. you can just do courses run by the governing body itself. you'll have to sort out the details but might be cheaper.\n\n\nat the start of your careers you are unlikely to be able to work everwhere in europe. it is hard to work in france, you have to pass a difficult race called the speed test but realtively easy to work in switzerland.\n\ngive me an email if you'd like more help. also i especially recommend www.natives.co.uk - it is where people go to chat about seasons.\n\ngoodluck,\n\njonathan

The country you live in is an important factor you left out of this question! The miiitary route aside, the civilian route varies by country.\n\nThis question has been asked a few dozen times on this forum already. Without knowing where you are, it will be hard to address. (Answers from an American perspective will not apply if you are European or Asian, and vice versa.)\n\nCheck these previous questions for answers as one may be directed at your country of residence:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=AnMOjV2nxUQyGqIF3YiCjL0nzKIX?p=become+pilot&scope=subject&mc=&tab=0&asktime=&prate=&st=1

First of all, determine the minimum qualifications for becoming a air hostess. There are certain physical attributes that are compulsory.\n\nIn addtion to that you must be fluent in English, Hindi (for an Indian airline) and one more foreign langauge. \n\nIf you know swimming its an additional asset. \n\nIf you already have these qualifications, straight away you can go for job interviews. Various airlines advertise regularly in the news papers and the internet for cabin crew.\n\nIf not, search the internet for various options like training schools/academies. Go for a govt recognized standard school, where you can get good training and one that has accredition. \n\nThen you can soar. All the best!!!!

To become a pilot you have two routes... You can either go to the air force where they will train you or  you can go to school... get a your privates license... then eventually maybe become a commercial pilot... Although it will cost thousands of dollars to get trained and some years to get the proper hours necessary to get enough hours to fly commercial.  I think the requirement for eyesight is 20/20 corrected (with glasses).  You also have to pass a physical.  Certain schools offer good flight programs if you choose the college route.  Check out Western Michigan University

Promotion depends as flying experience and vacancies. Co-pilots must have the required numbers of flying hours and licence. A pilot undergoes a never process of training. Proficiency tests have to be cleared almost thrice a year or more depending on the licence category and age of the pilot. The highest among the category of licences is the Air Transport Pilot Licence(ATPL) which allows the pilot to fly any type of aircraft. Licence has to be constantly renewed through passing medical and other tests every six months.\nhere the link that can be helpful http://www.careerage.com/resources/career_choices/airlines/pilot.shtml
