You can decide as long as it is legal. An airplane can fly for 6 hours, but the lessons have different times, so you need to be back on time. If you are from the Baltics, you can try to fly above your home and wave to your family!

It really depends on you and how much time you actually need to study. Studying theory is more or less like studying at any school or university: You start at 9 a.m. and finish around 3 p.m.–6 p.m., depending on the day, so the evening is free.

It has absolutely no influence if you have never been flying before. Many students have no aviation background, and that is completely fine as long as you want your future to be connected to aviation.

There are no exact physics studies, but there are different subjects that include physics. Of course, you need to study a lot, but it really depends on you and your previous knowledge. Nothing is impossible!

There could be different reasons. You may not know what to expect from the assessment or just finished school and do not know what you want to do. The good news is that you can apply in a year when you are even more confident that you want to do this, or now you know better how to prepare yourself for tests.

There are no semesters since we are not really in university. The actual breaks are only Christmas and whenever there are official holidays in the country, but there are no summer holiday breaks, etc., like in university.

It depends on the person, but if you are adaptive and flexible, there should be no problems. If you want to become a pilot, you should be fine not staying in the same place all the time.

Most probably, the theory studies because there is a lot of new knowledge that is not in the native language, and it needs to be learned really fast, and you need to go absolutely on your inner motivation.

For now, our oldest student is 42 years old and being a man or a woman does not have any influence either. A pilot career can last until 65 years, so you still have many years to make your pilot career.

The company usually wants to know what you are expecting, why you want to become a pilot, whether you know what the pilot job is, and whether you are ready mentally and physically for everything.
