TRAUMBERUF PILOT?

Posted on by in Books | Leave a comment

Traumberuf-Pilot
.

Laut einer Schulabgängerumfrage lag die Tätigkeit als Pilot an dritter Stelle von allen Wunschberufen.  Das bedeutet auch, dass sich hunderttausende junger Leute für den Pilotenberuf interessieren.

“Hätte ich das nur alles vorher gewusst, wäre meine Flugausbildung ganz anders verlaufen”, so dachte ich oft im Nachhinein.  Warum findet sich keine Beratung zu dem Thema?  Jetzt weiß ich es  besser: Die Komplexität und der Arbeitsaufwand dafür sind unglaublich hoch.

“Aber ich habe die Aufgabe in Angriff genommen diesen Ratgeber zu schreiben, und es hat dann auch wirklich Freude gemacht.

  Um den Lesern einen objektiven Leitfaden an die Hand zu geben, wurden natürlich auch die weniger positiven Seiten dieses “Traum-Berufes” detailliert aufgezeigt.”

Die “Bibel für angehende Piloten” geht nicht nur auf die europäische Piloten-Ausbildung und die Berufsmöglichkeiten ein, sondern will auch die weltweiten Perspektiven aufzeigen.

Alles – wirklich alles – was Sie als angehender Pilot wissen müssen finden Sie in diesempraktischen Ratgeber – der “Bibel” fuer Berufs- und Helikopterpiloten:

  • Berufschancen, Einsatzmöglichkeiten für Berufspiloten Ausbildungskosten,
  • Gehälter, Ausbildungsmöglichkeiten Weltweit, Arbeitsbereiche und Pilotenalltag,
  • DLR Pilotentest-Vorbereitungskurse,
  • und ein komplettes Adressenverzeichnis von europäischen Luftfahrt Ausbildungsbetrieben und Luftverkehrsgesellschaften fuer die Jobsuche.
