Studying aviation around the world: How much does it cost?

Let’s take a quick tour around the world and find the cost of aviation training in different countries. Keep in mind though that this cost does not include accommodation or transportation, so if you do not already live in one of those countries you have to add those costs as well.

How much does it cost to become a pilot in the USA?

The cost of becoming a CPL certified pilot starts from $70,000 in the USA. Add to that the cost of getting an ATPL, and the cost of flying the required 1500 hours to be eligible for applying to airline positions and the cost comes to around $200,000. However, it may cost much more if the student takes some time to finish all the required licenses and ratings.

The plane used the most for training in the USA is Cessna, either Cessna 152 or Cessna 172.

Some integrated training programs charge even more than this, but as mentioned earlier, integrated training costs more but yields faster and better results.

How much does it cost to become a pilot in the UK?

In the UK, it takes around two years and can cost over $127,000 to get the commercial Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL). Unlike the USA, an integrated course in the UK often costs less than a modular one, but not by much. For instance, it now costs around £ 90,000 and takes around 18 months to get an ATPL through an integrated program.

On another note, however, the cost of living in the UK is much higher than in most other countries. That is why it is considered a costly option for non-residents.

How much does it cost to become a pilot in Australia?

To get a Commercial Pilot Licence in Australia, you can get integrated training for around $65,000. The integrated training program takes 18 months.

Of course after this CPL you still need to train further to get your IR, ATPL, to be ready for an airline job, this will double the overall cost.

It is also noteworthy to mention that while the accommodation may be a bit cheaper than the UK, transportation is much more expensive.

How much does it cost to become a pilot in India?

In India, you have to pass 6 written exams before you can start flight training. The flight training itself costs around $86,000, however, this largely depends on the duration of the training which varies greatly from one place to another.

A common problem in Indian training centers is the lack of training aircraft, they are often so few that students have to wait in line to finish their required training hours.

How much does it cost to become a pilot in South Africa?

It takes around 18 months and costs around $50,000 to get your CPL in South Africa. Keep in mind though that you will need further training and certificates to get a job in an airline, like instrument rating and type rating, for example, type rating alone would cost you another $50,000.

And of course, transportation to and from South Africa will make a considerable sum if you do not live in a nearby country.

How much does it cost to become a pilot in Saudi Arabia?

It takes around two years to get your CPL and your Type Rating in Saudi Arabia. OxfordSaudia is the only academy in the world to offer the Type Rating program along with the CPL program, this makes graduates employable as soon as they graduate.

Remove unwanted objects from picture. How to use Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop CC 2020

  Learn how to use the powerful and improved Content-Aware Fill command in Photoshop CC 2020 to remove unwanted objects or repair missing detail in your photos! Written by Steve Patterson. Photoshop's Content-Aware Fill command was designed to make removing unwanted objects or distracting elements from your photos as easy as possible. Simply by drawing a selection around an area, Photoshop can instantly replace it with new image detail from surrounding areas. Adobe first added Content-Aware Fill back in Photoshop CS5 as a new option in the Fill dialog box. But in Photoshop CC 2019, Content-Aware Fill was given its own separate workspace. And in Photoshop CC 2020, Content-Aware Fill has been improved even further. The workspace adds powerful features that offer complete control over which "good" parts of the image are used to replace the unwanted areas. We can resize our initial selection, rotate, scale and mirror content, preview the results, and more! And we can apply ou...

What is DDoS attack?

Image
  A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic. DDoS attacks achieve effectiveness by utilizing multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. Exploited machines can include computers and other networked resources such as  IoT devices . From a high level, a DDoS attack is like an unexpected traffic jam clogging up the highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its destination. How does a DDoS attack work? DDoS attacks are carried out with networks of Internet-connected machines. These networks consist of computers and other devices (such as IoT devices)which have been infected with  malware , allowing them to be controlled remotely by an attacker. These individual devices are referred to as  bots  (or zombies), and a group of bots is called a...
