I don't know the situation in Italy but, in the US, you need first to buy a
bible and become very familiar with it. You should also join a church,
probably a fairly conservative one, and become active in it. You'll need a
few hundred hours and an instrument rating. In many cases, you'll also need
your own plane and raise enough money from your church to operate it.

Well, I have a bible, but I'm not very familiar with it. I am not a church
member. Does this mean I have to quit being an Angel Flight pilot? Or does
"humanitarian flight" mean something else?

Whew! At least I have those!

In many cases, you'll also need
your own plane and raise enough money from your church
to operate it.


Now *that* might get me to join!

I had aspiration to do relief type flying in Central America. My post was a
tongue in cheek reference to what I learned about the reality of trying to
do that. I'm trying to get to my 200 hours PIC so I can get involved in
domestic things like Angle Flight and have been invited to go right seat on
some.

No need to apologize, MC -- the English in your post is better than at least
25% of the American posters on this newsgroup.

And it's better than 80% of the posters on Usenet in general...
