To become a #pilot, there are several steps that one needs to follow: 1. Obtain a High School Diploma or Equivalent: A high school diploma or equivalent education is usually required for aspiring pilots. This provides basic knowledge and skills necessary for pursuing higher education in aviation. 2. Attend Aviation School: Next, students must enroll in flight training programs offered at aviation schools or colleges. These courses typically range from 30 hours to 120 hours long and cover topics such as aerodynamics, aircraft systems, navigation, meteorology, and flight physics. Completing these courses enables individuals to obtain their Private Pilot License (PPL). 3. Build Flight Experience: After obtaining their PPL, candidates need to build flight experience through logged flight hours with certified instructors. This helps them gain confidence, improve their flying skills, and qualify for more advanced certifications. 4. Earn Advanced Certifications: Aspiring commercial pilots will need additional certifications beyond their PPL before they can apply for jobs at airlines. Some common certifications include Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot License (CPL), Multi-Engine Rating, and Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (ATP). 5. Apply for Jobs at Airlines: Once qualified, pilots can start applying for jobs at various airlines based on their preferences, certification levels, and flying experience. They may also consider joining airline training programs to enhance their career prospects further. 6. Stay Updated with Industry Changes: Finally, it's crucial to stay updated about changes and advancements in aviation technology, regulations, and safety protocols to maintain proficiency throughout one’s career as a pilot. Continuous learning contributes significantly to staying competitive and relevant in this field. Note: Becoming a pilot requires dedication, hard work, persistence, and financial investment towards acquiring education and licenses. It's essential to ensure that one meets all eligibility requirements set forth by aviation authorities before embarking on this journey. #pilotlife #aviation #flighttraining #pilottraining #becomeapilot #careeradvice #dreamjob #aviationindustry #airlinepilot #flightacademy #pilotcareer #aviationcareer #pilotjobs #pilotlicense #flightexperience #aviationpassion #pilotgoals #aviationeducation #pilotjourney #pilotcommunity #pilotinspiration #aviationtips #pilotadvice #aviationknowledge #pilotwisdom #pilotmentorship #aviationnetworking #pilotdevelopment #pilotmentor #aviationmentorship

And that is the Capstone Project complete. All taught modules of the Cranfield University #MSc_Safety_and_Human_Factors_in_Aviation complete. Over the last two weeks we’ve had a taster of what it feels like to conduct group research under time pressure, working together to apply the things we’ve learnt in the last 8 months to future proofing the aviation industry and risk assessing Single Pilot Operations. Friday morning all four groups presented and it was fascinating to see how we ended up using very similar methodology but coming up with very different insights based on our own experiences and background. I really enjoyed leading Group 1 with King-Yee KO, who has many years working as an aircraft technician in Hong Kong, Cornelius Chukwuma who is an experienced Nigerian Air Force engineer officer and Nishant Patel (Student Affiliate RAeS) who recently completed a bachelor’s degree in aircraft maintenance, having carried out his studies in Ukraine after moving there from India. We were the only group with such similar professional backgrounds but it is fascinating to see how the differences in experience and culture played a part in our analysis. I’m excited about some of the conclusions we’ve reached and am keen to develop our core concept further. All in all the Capstone project really highlighted to me the great privilege I have been granted to take a year out of my career as a Royal Air Force engineer officer to study full time with a wonderful group of people who are all as passionate as I am about making our skies safer. My perspective has grown so much over the time we’ve had together, and while I’m so grateful to the RAF and the Chief of the Air Staff’s Fellowship scheme for the opportunity, it has been made truly valuable by the staff at Cranfield and the students who have shared their time and their insights with me. Now we all turn our focus to our Individual Research Projects. I came into this degree with a proposal already prepared - it was part of my Fellowship application process and the real motivation for me in applying for the course was to do research into #fatigue_management_in_aviation_maintenance. But I was so interested during project proposal time a few months ago on the topics that my colleagues were selecting. It’s going to be an interesting few months! In the meantime, here’s the summary line from the report that Group 1 of the Cranfield Univeristy MSc SHFA Capstone study have submitted. *We are not yet at the end of our technological evolution in aviation. This is just a step along the way, and we cannot know where it will lead. The journey may yet take us to other places that we have not yet imagined. Whatever the goal, the path or the destination, the beginning and the end of our endeavour must be to be either as safe or safer than we are today.* #aviationsafety #womeninengineering #womeninSTEM #keeplearning #careersinaviation

I am interested in aviation, and I would like to do my studies (after school) in this area. But I don't know yet what exactly I want to study. So many choices ... Which courses and universities do you know that are related to aviation? Possibly also in other European countries. #Aviation #AVGeek #AviationBubble #Jobs #Ausbildung #Study #Studium

Often times, I think to myself: Can a student make impacts on the commercial aviation industry?  The answer was uncertain. For most people without a solid background knowledge in the field, commercial aviation seems so distant. The case is even more apparent for youths who are interested in such topics.  Not anymore, because I will be launching the first student-led, student-written and student-edited aviation contents in Calgary - Aerontcl. Aerontcl cover all topics in commercial aviation imaginable - from scientific lessons on the theory of aerodynamic, to the long yet intriguing history of an aircraft. Aerontcl will be there, and we will aim to be the most trustworthy informative aviation resource in Canada. All of the articles will be completely free, and wi be fact-checked by people working in the aviation industry.  With that being said, Aerontcl is currently on its construction phase. Websites, articles and interviews are on their way. We are also looking for young aviation enthusiasts to contribute to the project. If you are interested, please be sure to contact me to fill out an application.  Let's unwrap the gift of aviation. 

I started with the new and challenging road of commercial pilot training, with the academy "Red Bird Aviation Flight Training Academy", hoping to achieve success in the professional-level course. DGCA ( Directorate General Of Civil Aviation)is the main civil aviation body that suspended flight operations due to the safety concerns emerging within the flying school. The situation happened all of a sudden, starving the survival of the student pilot career in the long run. It required immense dedication and hard work to master not only the academic theoretical subjects but also the practical experience, which has now fully gone in vain. This is one of the major hiccups in my life that is irreplaceable, I had immensely dedicated my time, efforts, and money all together to achieve the desired goal of completing commercial pilot training. When life gives you a reality check, you have to accept it and move on with the possible alternative or existing options. There is nothing much you can change though. Life is highly uncertain, all of my batchmates just completed their professional-level course, and I am left behind with a darker future in the middle. When you love a certain professional career, you do not want to let it go, it is a tough call. When you lose hope, then it is almost impossible to revive it back to normal life. With my experience, I learned to get as many backups within the possible selected career options, as no one knows the precise path to destiny. What are your opinions on it people? 😊
