    Hi Ayce.

    I am really pleased to hear you are excited about becoming a pilot. I got the bug at about 14 years old and began flying for British Airways just over 10 years later. 

    Do you have any specific questions? Our main recommendations would be to get as much flying experience as you can by visiting airfields, joining the air cadets and perhaps working in a local flying school. Birmingham airport may offer work experience when you are a bit older.

    Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

    Kate
