I am not rich enough to pay real flight academy what shoul I do to solve problem

Could you convince them to sign me up?

That's how I did it, but now I'm broke, but it was worth every penny.

Im not sure which country you are in, if you live in a place like I do (Canada), you need at least a basic university degree to even get looked at by the airforce.  The degree itself can cost as much as your commercial.  So its kind of a strange balance.  In some countries thats not a problem though, so it might be a better option.

The other option is find a job, a good job.  Getting experience in different areas of the aviation industry is a good idea too.  Maybe learn a mechanic/maintenance trade, do some dispatch work for an air operator, stuff like that.  Just throwing around blind ideas.

... or be an airport whore like me and sit and sand 200 feet worth of baseboard 6 freakin' hours a day to help remodel your local airports FBO.    I came to them the other day asking if they needed any work.  Unfortunatly they didn't but said if anything did come up I would be at the top of the list since I had worked for them before.  

So, to my advantage, the airport manager is too cheap to actually buy new stuff, so I have to take all the paint off that some complete moron dripped ALL OVER the stuff when they repainted like 3 years ago.  (Yes people, there is a such thing as MASKING TAPE.  Good Lord, you wouldn't believe the mess this idiot made on all this wood!)  Anyway, thanks to that person 3 years ago, the FBO has an excuse to pay me $7/ hour for 3 days.




On a more serious note... when I did my private pilot training I went AT LEAST one month between about 80% of my flights.  I never had more than 3 flights in a single month, and I STILL got my license at 50 hours and was a piece of cake.  

I had a 9 MONTH break from flying before I had my 5 review flights for my instrument checkride... that entire thing lasted about 3 hours total.  

So don't worry about the whole frequency of flying thing... as long as you can CHAIR FLY (Ie sitting with checklists and stuff and mentally going through the motions) you will never have a problem.  It's the next best thing to a sim.

[edit] what an idiot, I can't even spell! haha

I know nothing about the state of aviation training or the economy in Montenegro, but here in the States there are organizations that will underwrite an education loan specifically for flight training. It's usually a pretty good deal, compared to a loan from a big bank for college tuition. There may be something in your area like that; all I can suggest is that you start googling and see what you can find.
  Another source of info on this would of course be local pilots: if you haven't already, see if you can introduce yourself to a pilot in your area; ask him or her these questions. If you've been shy about that, forget it: most pilots are very happy to help out a young person with "stupid" questions about learning to fly; you might be surprised.
Good luck- and don't give up if you really want to fly!

Just out of curiosity in Canada do you need at least a private pilot's license to be accepted into the military or will they train you from the basics?

Yes, they train you from scratch. The difficulty with getting into RMC (Royal Military College) is the incredibly high academic requirement. Competition for acceptance into RMC is extremely high; so unless you graduate high school with at least a 94% average; don't bother even trying. In addition; they look for things like team sports, club presidencies, etc. - things that demonstrate incipient teamwork and leadership abilities. That - and the fact I wasn't so hot academically (I graduated with an 88) - was what killed my own application. The fact I had my pilot's lisence wasn't considered.

Canadian Forces fighter pilots really are the cream of the crop - the top 1%. That's why: very few openings for pilots; tons of applicants, and an extremely stringent training programme. If you want to get your lisence; I'd recommend saving up and doing it civilian - it's easier.
