‘How do I choose the right flight school for me?’ We get asked this a lot. Our advice is always to make sure you draw up your personal wish list relating to what is important to you. Airline partnerships, placement support, accommodation, training locations, fleet type, quality instruction….. the list goes on. Your goals and motivating factors will influence your final decision, but the best advice we can give is - visit as many flight training schools as possible - when you know, you know!

It’s always fun and thrilling to learn to fly an aircraft - when you’re in the aircraft! But all learning, both classroom based and flight lessons, needs to be tested to see if you are retaining the new knowledge. To that end, the dreaded exams have to attempted and passed. Just how are the exams put together? Captain Arthur Gatland (ASPEQ SME) will tell us in this article.

We've all been there: the checkride looms, nerves are high, and you're cramming everything you can think of. But listen up, fellow pilots: acing your checkride isn't the finish line, it's the starting gate. The real world throws everything at you: unexpected weather, tricky situations on the fly (pun intended!), and the constant need to make sound decisions under pressure. A good checkride preps you, but a great flight instructor prepares you for a lifetime in the skies. Here's why finding the right CFI is crucial: They go beyond the test: They tailor training to real-world scenarios, not just checkride maneuvers. They sharpen your judgment: They push you to think critically, analyze situations, and make sound decisions under pressure. They're your lifelong mentors: A good CFI becomes a trusted advisor, offering guidance and support long after you earn your license. Finding the perfect CFI isn't easy, but it's the most important investment you'll make in your flying career. Don't settle, aviators! #pilotlife #futurepilot #aviation #pilottraining #flying #avgeek #studentpilot #careergoals #dreamjob #technicalcertification #pilotintraining #aviationstudent

In Europe, joining a pilot's club has become a popular choice, particularly for those not pursuing commercial aviation careers, like airline pilots. 🛩️ This approach not only provides access to valuable training but also offers a more cost-effective way to fly. Pilots clubs typically offer a unique learning environment, where members can engage with various trainers, gaining diverse insights and experiences that enrich their education. While training may take longer compared to commercial pilot schools, the benefits often outweigh the drawbacks. Members develop strong community ties and often have access to a wider range of aircraft, enhancing their overall flight experience. Are you considering flight training? Join a pilot's club to maximize your opportunities! #PilotTraining #AviationCommunity #FlightSchool #yvesexplains #Aviation #FlightTraining #PilotClub #LearningToFly #EuropeanAviation #GeneralAviation

✈️🗣️ "Pilot training forms the foundation of a successful aviation career. It instills discipline, precision, and critical decision-making skills, which are essential in the cockpit. During their training, aspiring pilots should focus on both ATPL theoretical knowledge and practical flying, as this is the key to enhancing their performance and ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the aircraft. The dedication to continuous learning and skill honing is what sets exceptional pilots apart, enabling them to soar to new heights in their careers. Sevenair Academy is in a class of its own, providing the best foundation one can seek." - Read it in his own words, as Tariq Al-Baluch - First Officer in the A320 family at SalamAir- shares his take on pilot training and the importance of the skills built during this initial stage of the pilot career!

The Air League was the start of my aviation career. I was awarded 13 hours of flying lessons, leading me to get my PPL(A) back in 2021. If you’re thinking about starting training for your pilots licence, there’s no better way to start than with an Air League scholarship. Anyone is welcome to apply to the Air League Scholarships, there’s no upper age limit, and you could be awarded up to a full PPL’s worth of flying hours. It’s incredibly valuable: the work that the Air League do to strengthen the future of the industry at grassroots level is unmatched. We’re also the first in the UK to offer a funded Electric Flying Scholarship, leading the way for sustainable air mindedness in the next generation of aviators. Be a part of the future and see how amazing those Pipistrel Velis Electro aircraft are. Open to all working towards their PPL(A), up to x5 5 hour Scholarships available. Applications close on Sunday 31st March. If you can’t benefit, then please share: as someone in your network WILL. It costs nothing to share the post, and it may just introduce someone to an opportunity they never knew they had. The biggest barrier to young people starting a career in aviation is the financial barrier: let’s help to alleviate it. https://lnkd.in/ewCc4_K5 #aviation #flying #pilot #studentpilot #scholarship #career #opportunity #scholar #funding #sponsorship

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐈 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐖 𝐂𝐎𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 (MCC) course is an essential part of a pilot's training, transitioning them from single-crew operations to a multi-crew environment. In single-crew operations, pilots handle all aspects of flying independently. However, as aircraft become larger, faster, and more complex, the need for a team of pilots arises. The MCC course prepares pilots to work as part of a cohesive flight deck team, emphasizing key skills such as communication, leadership, teamwork, situation awareness, workload management, problem-solving, and decision-making. Whether you're considering a basic MCC or an Airline Pilot Standard MCC (APS MCC), understanding the structure and benefits of these courses will help you navigate your path towards flying multi-pilot aircraft.

It’s extra-important to partner with the right flight school and the right instructor for your early training. Learning good habits early will set you up for safe flying for life, while bad habits can take a long time to erase. https://lnkd.in/eJwB8ai #FlightTraining
