A320 Type Rating - A Week In The Life

In this video, I'm going to show you what a week in the life of a type rating student looks like.
I am currently doing my type rating on the Airbus A320 which is my last step before flying passengers. In this video, I will be showing you what a type rating student's typical week looks like. For my type rating, I did the majority of my simulators in Stockholm, Sweden, which is where I'll be based for this video. The week was full of simulators and studying as you'll see in the video.
I hope you all enjoy and remember to leave a like, comment and SUBSCRIBE

Hi Olli - Congratulations on becoming an airline pilot at age 21 and by the way, I love your English accent, where doing these videos will help you massively with your communication skills, which even for those of us non-pilots and non-airline people, have become so important in recent years - ironically, being proudly Irish and living 21 years here in Manchester, I know that my national airline Aer Lingus (Shamrock) has the A321 between Manchester to Dublin and I’ve flown home quite a bit as a passenger on them over the years - even as a passenger, the views of the Irish coastline are stunning on the approach to runway 28 - where my family live in Rural Ireland, we are located quite close to the final approach to Runway 10 at Dublin so when Runway 10 at Dublin is active, we get to see the A350 coming in from LAX to Dublin as well - are you currently serving as First Officer with an airline at the moment? Best Wishes to you 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️

Brilliant video mate, do you keep in touch with your peers from your studies? Are they doing well?

[@PilotOli]

Hi Scott, yes I do! A lot of them starting their type ratings and getting jobs as well which is so great to see!

hi im graduating next year what flight academys do you recommend ? love your content ❤

[@abingdonboy]

17 4 hour sims? That’s mad. Our course at LGW is 10x4hr+ 2 LSTs

[@PaulGarthAviation]

7:00 Instructors: OK, Oli. We need you to go sit outside, to simulate what it's like to be outside doing pre-flight when it's really cold. Oli: OK. Let's do it. Continued success, Oli. Has been great watching your progress.

[@PilotOli]

Hahahaha, thank you!

[@Tom23313]

Hi oli , I’m 15 and I’ve always dreamed of being a pilot , I love your videos , they’re a massive inspiration, I have a flight experience / first lesson booked ! :) , do you have any tips for people like me ? Keep it up !! 😎

[@PilotOli]

That's amazing, enjoy the flight! Just put your 100% to it, get good grades and try your best.

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

@@PilotOliBefore I moved to the U.K. I’d taken a flight in a Tobago from Weston near Dublin to Knock airport in the (beautiful) West of Ireland but we could not land, as the weather turned to IMC, it was a VFR flight and the pilot was not IFR rated but I got to do the landing back at Weston, which remained sunny and light winds high clouds the whole time - flying into and out of Weston is a challenge, as it’s located quite close to Casement (Baldonnel) Millitary Aerodrome (where the Queen flew into when she visited Ireland) - west of the River Shannon, the weather in the West of Ireland can change rapidly, but Ireland remains an excellent place to learn to fly, as Irish airspace has far fewer aircraft movements

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

I’m still as plane mad as ever and an aviation enthusiast at age 52 even though I never got to become a pilot myself, but Microsoft Flight Simulator and VATSIM shows us the possibilities that are open to us, as Citation Max talks about on his KZbin Channel - I looked on both the RAF and the USAF recruitment websites and they are encouraging people to play games, where they are recruiting pilots from the flight sim community, driven partly by the fact that so many modern aircraft systems are in effect computer controlled as the technology continues to improve (even though I have some concerns about this) - during Covid and with everyone working from home, I realised that even tower controllers could work from home as pilots can get clearances on thier mobile phones and send them to thier aircraft, with thier charts on thier iPads - with the developments in ground radar, CCTV, broadband, high spec PC’s with audio, video, voice and other data being sent via high-speed broadband connections, even ATC radio comms at airports can now be done remotely (from home) and these are massive developments in the past 10 years alone, let alone in the past 20 years

Do i have to do a degree in order to work for a UK airline? Can i get my PPL and then do my commercial license after

[@benedictusaryasatya6761]

Hi Oli, im still on my commercial phase and planning to take my a320 rating. Is there any recommendation from you about 320 rating cbt that probably i could study at in advance. Huge thanks and good luck for u mate

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

I know that there is a lot of stuff available online and these days it’s a matter of knowing the correct Google search terms (it drives me mad when searching for things online lol)

[@richarddastardly6845]

Lucky you man, I had to give up on my flying dream…

[@jakebeukes]

What's your opinion on being an Airline pilot vs being a charter pilot like on the Gulfstream for example

[@PilotOli]

I just think it’s complete preference. Both awesome jobs!

[@abeesohussain8389]

Hey Oli did you get a job which gave you the type rating or are you paying for it on your own?

[@PilotOli]

I got a job which came with the type rating. I would suggest to NEVER just pay for the type rating without being attached to a company

[@LACSACR]

Hey I have some questions. Does the airline provides accomodation or you have to pay it? Does the airline provides the tablet to study? Do you get paid something during training? thank you, cheers.

[@Jude-ns6os]

Hello, i am planning to take an airbus 320 rating this year and im planning to advance read especially the systems, do you have any pdf wherein we could study in advance? thanks

[@PilotOli]

Sorry I don’t. My company gave us all the information for revision, I assume your company will do the same

[@user-hg4lk9bz1b]

Where did you go to train.

[@aMnezia]

do u need to have an Ipad when doing type rating or the company will provide?

[@PilotOli]

My company provided me with one

[@aMnezia]

@@PilotOli How was the everyday life like during the training? Was it like every day full of memorising stuff or just reading and some days of memorisation? thanks
