I am Finally a Pilot! My Entire Pilot Training Journey + Tips

Last week I finally passed my Private Pilot Checkride, so I am now officially a pilot!

But I never believed I could become a pilot! I am not a technical person, just the thought of piloting a plane always seemed way beyond me; I had very little confidence in my physical ability to fly a plane plus I was way too content with flying as a backseat passenger.

In this video, I am going to share with you my entire Pilot training journey and how things have changed since I started flying.

There are 3 key phases of flight training as a private pilot:

1. Fundamental of flights and solo flight
2. Cross Country flights
3. Exam Preparation

To obtain your private pilot certificate, you need to pass a written exam, an oral exam and a practical exam. In this video, I am sharing with you my experience on these pilot exams and some useful tips to help you. Further, I discuss the cost of getting a private pilot license, getting the right instructor and several key factors to help you throughout the training.

I have gained an enormous amount of satisfaction throughout my pilot journey. Once you make a good landing or break through a mental wall, the confidence will surge and every step you make is one closer to success! If I can do it, you can too!

I am now looking forward to gaining more air time with my fellow aviators!

What It Takes To Become A Pilot - My PPL Flight Training

I am going to become a pilot. It is a decision I am never going back on. The sky is no longer the limit, it is now as much home for me as it is for my fellow aviators.

I started my love of aviation as a plane spotter and a photographer, then later as a passenger. The next logical step to advance further in aviation is to become a pilot.

You can do this too! Simply sign up for pilot training with Sling Pilot Academy below, use code: SAMCHUI and get $1,000 off and a free introductory flight.

Flight training is very challenging but you can see it is totally worth it. There is nothing with as much satisfaction as when you make your first unassisted landing by yourself. You forget all your troubles on the ground, because flying takes up all of your attention and skillsets. There was never a dull moment during my flight training.

I am slowly getting there. So far, I have flown 18 hours; learning many techniques to fly the plane such as stalls, forward slips, sharp turns, pattern holding and working on my take-off and landing. I am going to share with you my progress in every phase of my pilot training (PPL).

Flying My First Jet as an Airline Cadet - Emirates Flight Training Academy

I visited Emirates Flight Training Academy in Dubai, which is not a flight school but a dedicated airline academy.

During my visit, I flew their Cirrus SR-22 and Embraer Phenom 100 jet with a professional flight instructor. Check out my takeoff, landing, and the flight. It was my first time flying a jet since I’ve received my Private Pilot License.

After the flight, I visited the entire academy. The classroom with interactive teaching, the test room about all the qualifications, the canteen, and student accommodation.

The entire airline academy program starts from zero to an integrated ATPL in 2 years. The student will build up 250 flying hours include multi-engine jet hours. The first-year program will be theory-based ground school. The entire cost of the program is approximately $180,000 include accommodation and food.

Private Pilot License ground school - My materials #pilot

Flight school is not just about flying an airplane. An important part of the aviation journey is learning the ground school information. I used the Jeppessen book as seen in the video. Don't forget to check out the video and subscribe to the channel. The aviation journey is amazing! Let's fly!

One more barrier to becoming an airline pilot has been removed! #shorts

For years, many airlines have listed 4-year college degrees as preferred. However, there were a couple of airlines that maintained you needed the degree to even apply. Last week, the last of those airlines dropped the degree requirement! Great news for future airline pilots.
