Hmmm.... He's piqued my interest now.

@14:45 Tip #3: run through the emergency evacuation before departure so that the passenger (especially in an aircraft that has one door on the right-hand side) knows what to do and how to help. Where to hold on to, how to open a door, where to find a fire extinguisher, seatbelt cutter, and first aid kit, etc.

@14:45 Tip #3: my Swiss CPL examiner was ill and so another senior examiner was called in at short notice. The replacement normally concentrated on commercial instrument and ATPL pilots. When instructed by me to put on his seatbelt and shoulder harness in the AS202 Bravo I was flying, he declined to wear his shoulder harness until we were ready for departure. I warned him that he should but he was like "whatever" and continued doing some paperwork. We taxied up to the holding point and he nearly went through the panel when I performed a hard brake test prior to the run-up point. He was furious but I just looked at him and simply told him to secure his shoulder harness. He also argued with me that the circuit height was 1'500 ft AGL (I was flying a SEP in the circuit at 1'000 ft) at the destination airport, so I suggested he ask at the C office! Of course, the countless number of times he flew into that airport it was in a multi-engine complex aircraft with a circuit height of 1'500 ft and not the 1'000 ft as he was informed by the office. Oh, did he try to fail me but nothing stuck! I told my instructor about the experience who then slapped me on the back in good humour and said I should have braked harder!

I am going through the ATPL process now, this was really helpful

It does not fly emission free that’s just a lie. What’s the CO2 load of making a battery and you don’t get the electricity from leaves….please prove it is better? How long does the battery last and how many tonnes of CO2 does it take.

This was a great episode - thanks for your insights both. I'm convinced that electric is one of the ways forward for aviation's sustainability, we just have to get through the teething stages.

Great to see the podcast back! Very professional setup, and great content. The only thing I’d request please, if you’ll excuse a suggestion, is to please upload in at least 1080p. I like watching these on the tv and 720p is just a little poor in terms of quality, and I’ve no doubt given the setup you have your cameras could look really crisp in the higher quality settings 😀

Fantastic! Thank you.

Only problem i have found with RT practical exam, even though people pass exams, seems total waste of time. From the 70's i have seen students need to test, to no test, back to testing with no real difference in quality. Mostly depends on what their instructor is teaching on the PPL course. Also have concern of charges costing more than a final skill test.

HF i soled that aircraft 1978.

My late husband skippered this aircraft and G-AMPO (another DC3) in 1986 from Baggington. He flew me and our baby son to Staverton so he could then take part in a display. He used to say these aircraft were an absolute dream in the air but a b**** on the ground.

I’ve been considering doing a Lapp Lapl or ppl for a few years now and I think I’ve decided I want to try a discovery flight to see if it’s for me, however i have a bit of a silly question, how smart do you have to be to be a pilot? My maths isn’t great and I know nothing about navigation. I’m worried that I won’t be smart enough to get through it any tips?

I've got my PPL(H) skill test planned for next week, thank you so much for the great tips and advice! Not only informative but also quite comforting and relaxing to listen to. Feeling ready for the task ahead :)

Great video, thanks. Please would you kindly advise me how much approximately it would cost for a night rating add-on (for a LAPL)? Also, if you take your training and pass LAPL/PPL in a Cessna 172 for an example, does that mean I am limited to only flying that single engine airplane or could I hire a Piper or Robin with my licence? Thank you! Keep up the podcasts!

can you please send me some links as to where I can apply for a scholarship? Thank You!

That's why you were both at the field today. Aye up JS.

I'm in South Sudan and I want to become a pilot, how can I find it please?

You spend over $100,000 and still have no job.

Thanks for this. The Spotify version of this episode cuts off after a few minutes.

Wearing a high vis just to differentiate that he's an examiner 😂!!! Jokes aside- great podcast.

Excellent. I enjoyed this from the point of view of the prospective instructor down South.

Exellent video. I know i fell foul of those pitfalls. But still made it. Stay determined. And if in doubt ask almat.

Very insightful starting my ppl journey!!

That's brill, thanks a lot!

Thanks Simon really needed to hear this! Instead of March , I will schedule a trial lesson this month 😅

🤗

I am from Ghana in Africa and I more passionate to become a pilot. How do I also get this scholarship?

As I was always told never let the aircraft take you anywhere your brain didn't get to five minutes before. I was talked through the radio calls from the beginning of my first lesson and I firmly believe that's the way to go.

Thanks for sharing your experience & tips I'm currently doing the ATPL with BGS aswell

🤗

Please help me Okipi Ephraim need to enroll as soon as possible

Well said

Great channel. Stretches, fitness and nutrition does help too. Add in back up headset

Where can i find the end of presentation?

😊😍

I remember that first flight post PPL! Well done - nice landing :)

How time flies literally, I did my cpl /ir at Atlantic flight training Coventry next to almat many moons ago & before you know it you’ll be in your airbus or Boeing, if you dream might aswel dream big when you apply your self you’ll surprise even your self, great podcast brought back some great memories thanks!

Well done you should be proud of yourself!! I’m going to be taking my ppl with Almat Within the next few months I’ve been saving for months and nearly at my target I’ve had a few lessons with them in the robin with captain Bryan would recommend this school to all top guys and very professional see you soon guys

Great stuff - just started my first 1 hr trial lesson and exactly points made and Motion Sickness :)--- so thanks for content...

Please don't forget to explain the costs involve if someone wants to do training with you.

My first ever trial flight was at Almat, back in 2014, in a 172. That was my first taste of the amazing experiences that followed years later. In 2020, I finally made some major changes in my life and started flying training. Recently, I was awarded Air Pilots PPL scholarship. There were 750+ applicants, 33 were interviewed, and 8 were selected. I'm on track to complete my PPL this summer. This is great information for student pilots/aspiring pilots. I would love to join you on a podcast one day.

Wow didn’t know you could add night flying to a lapl 🙌🏻

Ive only done 3 lessons and im already watching this, but been valuable in my opinion, cheers mate

But if the minimum requirement is 30 hr and i still need 45/50 hr to learn you technically don't save any money compared to a ppl

I Know Kath From a Long time ago at Paul Airfield Good old Days well Done Kath all the very best to you.

Brilliant podcast, very valuable information from a professional operator, especially to the students like myself. In my opinion, it would be quite beneficial for us the students to spend a day in ATSU (providing the airport rules allow it) in a busy day to face what operators go through during their shift. I have also enjoyed the funny bit about conversations between ATSU and the pilots, it would be interesting to hear TOP 5 the funniest conversations and TOP 5 the most dangerous situations they ever had while at work. Well done, keep it up. 5⭐

Thanks Neil. Yes we do get the same license in the end regardless you studied integrated or modular the question is how difficult will it be to get employed as I hear rumours that airline companies prioritise those who went through integrated course and that is my biggest concern. Thanks a lot.
