Medical examination
The first and foremost thing that everyone who wants to become an airline pilot needs to ensure is that they can obtain a Class 1 Medical Certificate (valid for one year). This certificate is what makes your pilot license valid; they go hand in hand. As a side note, if you are looking to become a private pilot, which means flying for fun or as a hobby, then the Class 2 Medical is sufficient for you. To obtain the Medical Certificate, you will need to visit an Aero-medical examiner, where you will undergo various tests such as a physical examination, visual acuity test, hearing test, cardiovascular evaluation, medical history, and an interview, among others.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SCHOOL
Now it's time to choose the right school and type of training. Typically, the training duration is 24 months but could be less, depending on several factors such as weather and your dedication. I understand that this decision is usually not easy as it involves many aspects, including important financial decisions. However, I am here to help you make the right decision that suits your life commitments. You can drop me a message in the contact section or book an appointment, explaining your situation in detail. I will develop a customized plan that aligns with your individual life commitments and schedule, and we can discuss it via video conference to answer all your questions and make the necessary adjustments if needed.
WHICH TYPE OF TRAINING ?
After choosing the right school and type of training, whether Modular or Integrated, it's time to dive into the books. I invite you to visit the sections on Modular training or Integrated training to familiarize yourself with the different steps in your journey as a student pilot. Depending on the type of training you choose, you might be able to complete the practical and theoretical parts simultaneously. During this phase, should you choose to work with me, I will provide the necessary help and guidance to assist you, whether in understanding a certain subject or enhancing your flying skills. My goal is to provide you with all the necessary material required to prepare you to pass the exams.
iT’S TIME TO APPLY FOR A JOB
Now that you have all the licenses in hand and the minimum requirements to apply for your first pilot job, the options are limitless. You can apply to work for an airline, ranging from Turbo Propellers aircraft to Jet Aircraft, or you can fly business jets for a private owner or a charterer. Alternatively, you can build more flight hours by doing different types of jobs, such as becoming a flight instructor or a skydiving pilot.
I understand that this part is very important because all your hard work has to pay off. That's why I've created a personalized program to assist you with the entire job application process, including crafting an effective CV and resume, as well as interview simulations conducted in a 1:1 video conference or in person if feasible. Additionally, I will provide you with all the resources to increase your chances of securing your desired job.
