A320 Base Training - My First Time Flying A Jet

In this video, I'm going to show you what I got up to on my A320 Base Training.
For the last stage of my type rating on the A320, in this video, I will be showing you my base training. I started my day in Vienna where 4 students were about to complete their base training. We took off from Vienna and flew to Pula airport in Croatia. Once it was my turn to fly, I took off for the very first time in the real A320, flew a visual pattern, and for the first circuit, we practiced a go-around. This was then followed by 5 more visual circuits which all finished with a tough and go, and then finally a full stop landing.
This was one of the best days of my life and a huge milestone for my career.
I hope you all enjoy and remember to leave a like, comment and SUBSCRIBE

Thank you guys for all the support you’ve given this channel so far! Let me know what your dreams are as a pilot, as this day was definitely one of mine! ✈️

[@rgeorge379]

Never fails to impress me how much airline pilots have to go through, and at such a young age. Makes me feel safe in the back ! Well done.

[@clintg1294]

Well done bro! Only pilots really understand the amount of work and hardship it takes to get to that stage 👊

[@PilotOli]

Absolutely! Appreciate it

[@totesdev4363]

The night before you flew your first passenger jet you still had the foresight to film it for KZbin. Most people would have too much going on in their head to worry about it. Well done, and thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@BottomLin3Op]

I love hearing the 5 callouts

[@PilotOli]

That’s when you know it’s a good one!

[@pullerofspikes]

It’s awesome to see wholesome content like this and seeing someone chase their dreams. It is bittersweet because while it makes me happy seeing someone else happy and living their best life, it saddens me with regret for not chasing my own dreams. Here is to a long, exciting, fun and safe airline career, sir. Cheers!

[@kieran2746]

You deserve everything mate you've smashed it. Well done lad 🎉

[@PilotOli]

Thank you 🙌

[@user-uw3jh4sl8o]

[@Derin-ho4yr]

you will, I will; we will

[@davidhood2200]

Congratulations! Crazy to see how other countries do their training compared to here in the US. I’ve got about 500 hours to go until my ATP minimums here in the US and it’ll be probably another 2,000-3,000 hours after that before I even get close to flying an A320.

[@leji320]

In mexico, low cost airlines hire first officers at just 220 hours

[@TypicalDutchSaysHi]

One of the reasons many new pilots go abroad for their "first hours".

[@adamheged6288]

I hope to start training soon. Can't imagine what it must feel like to be hands on in an aircraft such as the a320, just in control of such a huge jet for the first time. must have been surreal. Great job Oli!

[@daviation9779]

@@i_wanna_be_a_pilot most flight schools don’t allow lessons at 14, even if they do. I strongly recommend pushing till 15 so u can solo at 16. I had to do 1 lesson a month because of my young age. Additionally, u also have to factor in making time for GCSES but 2 lessons a month at 15 is a good start. Do you have any specific questions?

[@Dylan-djcali420]

When your banking in the a320 dp you use the rudder to co ordiante the turn? I'm a boeing pilot so we do but I know the airbus is fly by wire.

[@PilotOli]

As it’s fly by wire, you just need to input what you want to do, so for a turn you would only push the side stick to the side you want to turn, you don’t even need to add back pressure for most standard turns!

[@Dylan-djcali420]

@PilotOli that's good clever aircrafts aren't they lol.

amazing work olli! i would love to get in contact with you to ask you a few questions!

Most likely Stansted, Vienna was just for the base training 👍🏼

[@schwappingmags1008]

Congratulations! Did you come in low and shallow? I noticed the 50 40 30 callouts were quite slow.

[@PilotOli]

No I didn’t. Trust me they sounded they were coming very quick in the real thing 😂

[@malacca1951]

You said you're 'Over the moon'.....if you DO find yourself over the moon I guess you pulled back too soon and for too long, added too much power and forgot to check the oxygen levels. Good luck and thanks!

[@tortozza]

Does base training come straight after type rating? Just wondering when all the airline ops training like evacuation etc fits in to the schedule.

[@PilotOli]

It’s actually considered part of the type rating. It is the last requirement to get the type rating.

[@alirosi7381]

you flew 1500 hours flight?

[@PilotOli]

Not even close! In Europe you can actually start with a lot less, I have about 170 hours total!

[@TylerZ4358]

How much total time do you have?

[@PilotOli]

On the Airbus, just the 47 minutes from my base training. Total about 170 👍🏼
