I'm not a real Pilot?

That's an extremely broad range of possible obstacles.

I asked at the pilot shop today if it's true that getting even just a PPL
(in
France) costs around $17,000, and this was confirmed to me. With a per
capita
income of $30,100, only a handful of people in the country can ever hope
to
become pilots. Add that to the need for a medical and lots of time, and
almost nobody can reach that goal.



Man..where is my violin music, you're breaking my heart......

IF you really were an IT professional

and

IF you really were old enough to take a flying lesson

and

IF you really had the desire to actually experience aviation


You would easily find it possible to get out and get at least 2 or 3 hours
of instruction in a topic for which you seem to have and overwhelming desire
to moderate an advice column.

But be ready to change instructors after each lesson. I can assure you, no
one would have the patience to fly with you a second time, if you could
avoid alienating them before you got to the aircraft the first time.

To be successful, you will first need to solo over at
sci.psychology.psychotherapy.

You might also try checking the prices somewere that the people don't KNOW
you. With your attitude I seriously doubt you could get a PPL in the US for
as little as $17,000.
