Pilot training is a hard job. You must enroll at a prestigious and excellent school to train to become a great pilot. An aviator or a pilot is a person who flies airplanes or any form of aircraft. Aviator is the broader term for pilot. Aviators can also pertain to persons who are bombardiers, navigators, flight engineers, electronic warfare officials and radar operators. The term "aviator" must not be confused with a "naval aviator" which refers to the crew members of the US Navy, Coast Guard and Marines. A naval aviator navigates in the waters. Being a pilot is hard work. You have to check every nook and cranny of the airplane together with a team of specialized aircraft professionals to assure the...

In this article I talk about what is involved in flying lessons for the benefit of people who want to become a pilot. Flying is fun but errors are severely punished as with all adventures in challenging environments. Aviation errors occurred from lack of knowledge in the early days. To minimise danger experience needed to be passed on. That process is called 'Flying Lessons'. Pilot training has changed over the years and the pilot today needs to know more about the theory of the different elements associated with aviation as well as the practical handling of an aeroplane. A specific syllabus is followed for training which is divided into flying lessons. We will look at the flying lessons for a...

If you have your private pilot's license and are looking to earn an Instrument Rating, then it might be in your best interests to get your hands on a good IFR flight simulator for your home computer. Here are 3 reasons why: 1. It can save you money. Leveraging an IFR flight simulator can significantly reduce the cost of your instrument training and your instrument proficiency checks. Since the FAA allows pilots to log as many as 20 hours of instruction with a simulator as credit towards your instrument rating, then you would be a fool not to take advantage of the opportunity as a cost savings measure. 2. It can save you time. IFR flight simulator programs can save time. It is simpler to turn on the...

Learning to fly an airplane or helicopter can be one the most enjoyable and rewarding goals that a person can achieve in their adult life. The process from start to finish is full of new discoveries and exciting challenges. 'Finish' is perhaps the wrong word since the learning never ends. Even if, having qualified, the new pilot decides not to pursue any other form of licensing or certification there is always something new to learn and the wise pilot should never be complacent or over confident. Learning to fly requires diligence, patience, courage, humility and a thirst for knowledge. As well as they practical aspects of handling the aircraft the student pilot must learn to navigate, interpret...

Soaring above the clouds is something that most of us have dreamt about. Now this dream can become a reality with the mushrooming of Flying Clubs in India. At a flying club not only can you pursue flying activities by renting aircraft you can also provide flight training, perform flight planning facilities, get pilot supplies and associated services. The whole aspect of flying was out of reach for many Indians before due to the lack of infrastructure namely clubs and aviations schools along with the fact that pursuing training for flying or practicing it as a hobby proved to be really expensive for the common man. Lack of finances was probably one of the most integral reasons for many a man to drop...

In Part I we covered the study, training and medical requirements for obtaining your Private Pilot's licence in the UK. Here in Part II we'll go into more detail about structuring your studies to make the best use of your time, effort, and money. Keeping Down the Cost You'll see many schools offering to bring you up to the required standard for a fixed price based on the minimum number of flying hours in the syllabus, but it's rare for student pilots to become ready for the Skills Test just when they've logged only these flying hours. Most people need more time to practice, to build up confidence and to convince themselves and their flying instructors that they are ready for the CAA Examiner. One...

There is nothing like the feeling of sliding into a Cessna 172 or Piper Cherokee 180 and heading off into the sky. The sense of freedom is enormous, and whatever worries or problems you may be facing, just fade away. It is an incredible feeling! Nearing my 22nd year of professional truck driving, nothing can clear my mind or ease my spirit as much as flying. The sound of the engine, lowering the flaps, full rich mixture and power and the aircraft shooting down the runway and then . . . lift off! Now this is cool. This is more than cool . . . it is totally awesome! After CDL training, the stress of trucking can wear you down sooner or later. Trucking will take over your life until you have no...

Commercial Pilot Training is a course of study used when learning to pilot an aircraft for commercial purposes i.e. for flying passenger aircrafts. The overall purpose of such pilot training is the acquisition and honing of basic airmanship skills. Commercial pilot training has found a lot of interest among people in recent years. This is because of the coming up of many airline services (especially low cost airlines) and growing globalization, economic liberalization and a boom in the aviation industry which has resulted in plenty of job opportunities in airline companies both within and outside India. With the highest number of airlines, the US is the most desired destination for most commercial...

A flight school is the right place for novices to learn the systematic and highly technical courses of flight operations. The skills and techniques imparted in these flight schools are vital for prospective pilots, as the risks and dangers of flying a massive aircraft are too many and is not an easy task. It requires meticulous and systematic efforts on the part of the pilots, as the important responsibility of the safety and security of the passengers and the expensive aircraft is on the pilots. Various kinds of state funded and private flight schools conduct their pilot training courses every year. These flight academies are located across different cities and states of America. Each state has a...

With all of your flight training, there will be times when you get the notion that your instructor is mean or doesn't know what they are talking about-perhaps not in such a bold way, but it will happen. This brings me to a story I have of a night cross-country with a student. The flight itself is a pretty simple one and is safe for night flights. The flight goes from Mesa Falcon Field to Wickenberg, Arizona. I have personally put this flight in my syllabus for many reasons. I have gotten into many arguments with instructors who worked for me about this flight. Several of them refused to do the flight and instead ended up taking the student down to Tucson. As far as I am concerned, this defeats the...

Anyone can achieve his/her dreams with the help of Sarah Aviation academy. They help students to achieve their dreams in all aspects. One can become a commercial pilot only after he has obtained a Commercial Pilot License (CPL). Commercial Pilot License authorizes the pilot to fly both passenger planes and cargo planes. A Commercial Pilot License may be obtained only after a Private Pilot License (PPL) has been acquired. To obtain a Commercial Pilots License, 250 hours of flying (including 60 hours for the PPL) is necessary. Besides that, one has to undergo a Medical Fitness Test and an examination. Commercial pilot training is provided by many aviation academies all over India. However, only few of...

Deciding on where to obtain your pilot training is one of the most important decisions you'll make on your way to becoming a pilot. The first question you need to ask yourself is what is your goal in aviation. Do you want to become a fighter pilot for the US Air Force? Do you want to fly a Boeing 747 for the airlines? Charter pilot? Or, are you interested in aviation not as a career, but just to be able to fly yourself and your family around? I remember when I knew that I wanted to learn how to fly. I was 13 years old and had just taken my first discovery flight at the local airport. Because funds for my pilot training were limited to what I could make washing airplanes and pumping gas at the local...

If you are enthusiastic about flying and want to really take it up as a profession or just a hobby, then you must join a Flying club. Now it may not suffice to just go ahead and join any club nearest to you. There are some things that you need to consider before deciding on which club to join. First and foremost the club must be approved by the Aviation Authority of the country you are in. And the second most important thing to look for is that they must have enough planes. The more the variety of planes the more it will add to your flying experience. It is also a good sign if they have a private runway or hangar. Now all the best infrastructure and facility would be useless without good instructors...

Okay, so you've gone through training. You've flown solo, you've done your cross country work, you've had hood training and night flight training and done over a hundred and twenty landings. You've taken and passed your checkride, and your pilot's license just showed up in your mailbox. Congratulations!!! Now what? Well, it's time to pick a flying club. One of the most rewarding parts of being a pilot is by sharing your experiences and flight time with your friends. Not everyone has the benefit of having friends who are pilots, but that doesn't mean you can't make some. Joining a flying club can be the best way to experience the different aspects of aviation that you would normally miss by going on...

If you want to become a pilot, you have to have a FAA medical certificate. Acquiring a medical certificate is not too difficult. You do not have to get a medical certificate before you begin your training. It is only required once you are ready to fly the airplane solo - a highlight that comes more quickly than you might think. However you may want to visit the doctor early in your training if you suspect a problem in getting the certificate. It would be better not to be surprised the day before your first solo with a delay in the process. This physical must be conducted by an FAA designated Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). You can ask your Flight Instructor about how to find an AME close to you, or...

They say general aviation is a really tough place to make money and a really easy place to spend all your money, as owners of fixed based operations or FBOs often joke. But it is possible to have a successful FBO at a small or regional Airport without breaking the bank on their marketing budget or advertising budget. Public relations and airport community goodwill are in a circle part of the success of an FBO. What kinds of things can a fixed base operator at a small airport due to promote public-relations? Well, they can allow the Civil Air Patrol cadets to use their facilities for ground school. Perhaps they will volunteer a flight instructor to come teach the kids. The Boy Scouts also have...

When speaking of airline pilots, you might immediately think of long flights that take you halfway or even around the world in hours. Airline pilots could be flying cargo or passengers. Airline Pilots are paid in relation to the aircraft they are flying. A pilot flying jet aircraft would earn more than one who flies turboprops. They would earn upward of $100,000, depending on company policies. Airline pilots have the advantage of a staff working together and behind them. They are generally not involved with any administrative aspects of flying. Most national carriers look for pilots with years of experience and an accident-free record. So pilots start off with commuter and/or domestic companies...

The pre solo maneuvers are the first required for your Private Pilot License. There are a number of Requirements needed before you can do your first solo. Now in many cases I will move on to the post solo requirements if someone is not quite ready to solo yet. I do this because I am not going to sit in the traffic pattern with someone for 5 extra flights to get their landings down. The lightbulb will come on and my goal is to have you licensed and a safe / proficient pilot by the time of your flight test. Also I want you to be in your budget. Many instructors and schools will not move forward until you have solo'ed I think this is a complete waste of money. For this reason some people may say that...
