Day In The Life Of A Student Pilot - IFR Phase at BAA Training

[@Peters._archive]

Much love from South Africa

[@PilotJonathan]

Greetings from Lleida!

[@poke4529]

Im currently getting a degree in aerospace engineering, knowing that my dream is to fly the plane, and not build it. Its hard to get the motivation to continue. Thanks for making your videos. I know after all the engineering strugles, I will have fun with an intergated ATPL course.

[@PilotJonathan]

I'm sure you'll enjoy flying as well!

[@ZukoLogo]

I'm literally the same right now... One day we'll be flying :)

[@joshualuddah8907]

Thats a wrong mentality bro, i also opted for flying school but ended up doing a diploma course in aeronautical engineering. I found out the trick is to enjoy the process and the journey, time will come. Plus hey atleast you get to go to school, some bright guy somewhere in a village is actually praying for what you’re looking down upon

[@GharacDurac]

wow, what es beautiful VOR approach in LESO. Need to check it in the sim.

[@PilotJonathan]

Definitely worth a visit - both in real life and on the sim!

[@Peterahonsifitness]

Great views over the mountains

[@PilotJonathan]

Oh yes, it looked even better in real life!

[@babarkhan-zi3xo]

Good job!! I also just started IFR training

[@PilotJonathan]

Thanks, and have fun during your training!

[@EinfachLuap]

Man, this brings back memories. Wish you the best of luck and stay strong! :)

[@PilotJonathan]

Thank you!

[@medgabriel]

Great video, cheers from Brazil

[@PilotJonathan]

Thank you!

[@Peters._archive]

Keep grinding 🤞😃I absolutely love your content

[@PilotJonathan]

Thank you!

[@devanshufinland]

top instructor 😎🔝

[@PilotJonathan]

Oh yes! 😁

[@troe2339]

A really well made video (as always) :D

[@PilotJonathan]

Thanks!

[@joshuachiang2570]

Impressive to see you get a 172 up to 10000ft. Can only dream of that in the hot climate I fly in

[@PilotJonathan]

We can climb even higher on most days!

[@joshuachiang2570]

@@PilotJonathan a story from my training, i was doing circuits at a sea level aerodrome during summer, my pa28 was struggling to get to 500 ft per minute climb on takeoff

[@PilotJonathan]

Yeah I've had that on the Tecnams as well, the climb perfomance on hot days isn't great

[@timofelber]

Great video and even better vocal processing ;)

[@PilotJonathan]

Hahaha 😂

[@marcandreasson87]

I noticed you landed in the evening at your initial departure point, did you have, ( not sure it's described like this ) your night instrument rating already ?

[@Muslim42029]

Nice video!. I have a question that in the official EASA ATPL theoretical exams, are there MCQ questions mostly?

[@PilotJonathan]

If you're talking about multiple choice, then for us yes - but this was the 2016 syllabus, I don't know about the new 2020 one

[@flurinschwerzmann6029]

If I see that correctly - are you flying with the backup mode of the G1000 enabled? If so - why?

[@PilotJonathan]

Yes, this is our SOP - the reason is that we mainly train raw data flying and don't use the map on the MFD except for RNAV/RNP operations, so it makes sense to just mirror the PFD on the MFD for the FI as well

[@heyitsmekj9]

Day In The Life of an Airline Pilot soon? 😄☺️

[@PilotJonathan]

Ha, hopefully at some point!

[@nn-lh8he]

Not sure where you are from, but is it a requirement to wear epaulets and a tie as a student? Looks goofy when your instructor is just in a t-shirt!

[@PilotJonathan]

We have some uniform requirements - but for flights we can also wear a branded polo instead of shirt & tie, I usually switch between them, you can see it on some of my other videos! But I paid for the uniform, so might as well use it 😂

[@nn-lh8he]

@@PilotJonathan Ah ok, at my flight school only the instructors have to wear polos and no dress code for students, was a little confused!

[@PilotJonathan]

It's fairly common to have uniforms for students here in Europe as well!

[@glennwatson]

So much pushing of aircraft. Is that common in Spain?

[@PilotJonathan]

It's not uncommon at least, at BAA we push everything apart from the MEP by hand 😂

[@ukaszs6748]

But you have to have a head (as they say in Polish) to become a pilot. All the best on the Aviation Road. Greetings from Poland .

[@PilotJonathan]

Thank you!

[@mpho6329]

Do you still rember your first solo consolidation hours and how were those landings

[@PilotJonathan]

I definitely still remember my first flight - absolute overload of information! I actually never had a big problem with landings, that part sort of came naturally to me

[@Am-1993]

❤❤

[@chunbunchan5494]

Jonathan, I want to be a Pilot. Would you tell me that a Flight School or University is a good study the Pilot Program. Thanks

[@PilotJonathan]

There's lots of factors that influence the choice of what program to apply to - my advice is do your research about lots of different schools, ask students about their experience and decide based on what you think suits your needs best!

[@tomarmstrong1281]

My IFR students would have been required to have flown much more of that flight under the hood. Certainly the intercepts and approaches to minimums.

[@PilotJonathan]

Typically in Europe the hood is only used for basic initial training - I don't know anyone that used it on a cross country flight, we're still flying down to minimums on the instruments

[@tomarmstrong1281]

@@PilotJonathan As an EASA FAAFI/FECPL, I have never encountered a syllabus which calls for extended IFR extended cross-country flights. The principal value of IFR training is to achieve competency in the procedural aspects, principally associated with departures, holding and approaches-just my observations. Good luck with your career.

[@bilo4468]

how old are you now bro ? at what age u will start working ?can you answer please

[@PilotJonathan]

I'm 23 - and whenever I get a job!

[@crew_lifestyle-d2t]

which school is this and can international student apply it

[@PilotJonathan]

BAA Training, and yes!

[@crew_lifestyle-d2t]

@@PilotJonathan any whats app number to contact

[@takdirsaiful628]

Can i become pilot if i wear glasses?

[@PilotJonathan]

Yes - within limits

what school are you studying at :)
