10 THINGS you should know BEFORE becoming a Pilot!

In this video, I'll be sharing valuable insights about the life of a pilot. From enjoying layovers with a great crew to dealing with the challenges of a demanding schedule, I'll give you a glimpse into this rewarding profession. Being a pilot can be physically and mentally exhausting, but maintaining a positive attitude is crucial. It's also essential to be passionate about aviation, as becoming a pilot involves a significant financial investment. Staying fit and healthy is a priority, and wearing a uniform simplifies life on the job. Flight tests and examinations are common, so getting comfortable with evaluation is necessary. Flexibility is vital, as pilots often miss weekends and holidays due to changing schedules. Remember, love the job, not just the airline you work for. I hope you find these insights valuable.

Nothing is going to stop me from becoming a Pilot.

Being a Student Pilot, I liked that you mention the point of enjoying the journey of becoming a Pilot, and not rushing it ... Have Safe Flights ✈

After 19 years in the airlines, I can say this guy has some of the best advice and insights about the life.

I love that you mentioned getting used to being tested. I am in the process of becoming a pilot and the amount of testing is incredibly daunting.

I am a truck driver in the US but grew up wanting to be a pilot. I enjoy trucking but I can see many similarities between the flight life and the driving life. I had days driving where I was doing long hours without many stops and other times where I had tons of stops in a short time. Both are very exhausting!!! Thank you for the advice. All the information is very useful.

As a young person (11) who wants to be a pilot since I was 6, this motivated even more! Nothing is stopping me! Even if my friends say “Man, you’re gonna get Jet-lag, considering you’re in New Zealand”, HA! No.

It's nice to see you hand flying and using manual thrust in an airbus! Most pilots don't ever show themselves flying in a "10 things you should know before becoming a pilot!" Good video

[Tackletuesdayfishing]

I’m a CFII and I still get incredible test anxiety for even the slightest “exam”.

Congrats on becoming a commercial pilot. I dodged all the costs by joining the RAF after leaving school at 18. Pay wasn't brilliant but the airforce paid for your training! Enjoyed my time flying the F4 Phantom and the Tornado that replaced it. Many of my contemporaries ended up with the airlines but after flying fighters for 11 years that didn't appeal to me! Bought myself a little Cessna to flog around in (at considerably less speed...) but it's still quite a laugh. Enjoy the bright blue yonder!

i never knew what i wanted to do with my life as a highschooler. Suddenly, a couple days ago, i just got really really really into becoming a pilot, and laid out a detailed intricate plan to becoming one. It may not be set in stone, and I do not want to force myself if I do no want to do it some day in the future, but right now, it is whaat i want for sure, and i feel like that will stay pretty consistent.

The quality of your videos is soooo good!! I feel like I’m watching a channel that has millions of subscribers. Your content is truly inspirational 🤩🤩

[TheBlueFlaming]

I am actually a software engineer interested to the flying content with no reason 😅 But your video is great and you have your unique opinion of your job! I may not be a pilot in my life but I will rooting for you 🛫Support from Japan!!

One other thing that one should know, which was not mentioned, is that airlines can compulsorily post one from one base to another. This can massively disrupt one's life in many ways.

[JTmovingweight]

Currently a truck driver and I’m thinking about getting into this, I like what I do but being able to fly a plane is next level.

[timtsao]

another two key things:
The log book, training record and incident/accident reports, if any, start to follow you once you begin the very first flight that means how many hours you needed until the 1st solo, how many times you needed to pass the re-checks and etc..., which airlines might ask when you applying the jobs, so keep it in mind.
and can you always be positive towards the mistakes you made or how can you recover from the failures you had in a reasonable time? that's crucial through this career.

I had to watch this video again after watching this last month. Still deciding if this life is meant for me

[zahrabatool]

INSHA'ALLAH I'll be a pilot one day❤

[cvc]

I’m about to graduate from college then go to flight school next year and am so blessed my family has the finances to pay for flight school

Your streaming is PHENOMENAL. You are showing the pilot real life, not just what they have to do in the cockpit, but showng pilot life far a way from the cockpit. You are naturally showing, talking the naked tru pilot life in reality. It is friendly, signature streaming, and it is you. VRB SR60 is my hometown n I love it. Many new student pilots studying and flying above VRB.

Regarding n5 😅
You can help yourself try to be a Cabin Crew and start to work, earn money, and ask for off-period where you can concentrate yourself for training (or earn all money necessary for a full integrated ATPL and enjoy the training process without gaps) . Like I am doing, and my training process is doing well.
Suggestion before search for a fly accademy, is it better before to achieve a first medical pilot class that can determinate your process.
Enjoy Cabin Crew before being a Pilot can be a good step to find a job """easily""" with your company!
I suggest to every person dreaming to be a Pilot to stop dreaming only and work on it.
I usually say : "Everything is possible in this life, because only the DEATH can close the doors"🎉
Enjoy your progress, guys!
