Hi all,
I'm new here, and started my PPL last year, but unfortunately Covid put a hold on the training for six months, but I am now back in the air!
At school it was always my dream to fly commercially, and I still remember my first commercial flight when I was younger, and even today I still find the concept of flight fantastic, and I doubt that will ever go away! I'm currently aged 33, and I had a couple of flying lessons when I was 18, however other commitments cropped up at the time and I never continued the training. Last year, with everything going on, I finally thought "life's too short, and I've always wanted to learn to fly, so I'm doing it!"
Obviously the first step is the PPL, I'm then keen to go on to get a night rating and IMC rating. I presume after that, one would step up to more complex aircraft, twin-engine etc. Really, my question is, am I too old at 33 to continue past the PPL and train for a commercial license? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ross
