What is the experience of learning to fly abroad?

Under normal circumstances, you start training when you arrive at a foreign aviation school. From the time you arrive at Aviation School to the time you leave Aviation School, English is the focus of everyone's study, which is also one reason why domestic airlines send you abroad for training. English training can be divided into two aspects. The first is everyday English, which is the basis of everyone's life abroad. On the other hand, land-air communication is a key point for everyone to fly. Everyone can fly basically, but the problem is often that land-air communication is a difficult point for everyone.

Flight training is divided into three stages: private photo (PPL), instrument grade (IR) and multi-official photo (MECPL), with 40 lessons in each stage. Each stage is generally divided into different small stages to assess the learning content. The assessment of each small stage is basically divided into two parts-oral part and flight part. The spoken part is unqualified, and the flying part is not tested. If the test fails, the teacher will review the flight again until the test passes.

Private photo (PPL)*** is divided into three stages, of which the first stage is 19. The contents of the oral test include: take-off and landing data/weight and balance/weather (calculation of take-off and landing data/calculation of load and balance/acquisition and analysis of basic weather information), FAR parts 6 1 and 9 1 (related contents of federal aviation flight regulations 6 1 and 9 1), and local airports and training areas. The performance and limited flight learning and evaluation of PA28- 188 include: normal crosswind takeoff, traffic mode operation, normal and crosswind landing, sharp turn, slow flight, stall (stall: powered and unpowered), crash landing, ATC communication and landing refusal. When you pass the first stage of the exam, you begin the important experience of learning to fly solo. You have six solo flights, two local flights, two driving range flights and two transpac connecting flights. Passing the first stage exam shows that you can fly solo. Congratulations! But solo flight is often the most prone to danger, so be careful. Under normal circumstances, you can get some preferential treatment and care by telling the controller that you are a student flying alone when you talk on the air. Enjoy your solo flight!

The second stage assessment is lesson 34. The contents of the oral test include: take-off data/weight and balance/weather report and forecast (calculation of take-off and landing data/balance/weather report and forecast), flight plan log, submission of flight plan/navigation notice /AFD (preparation of flight plan and navigation record sheet, declaration of flight plan/explanation of navigation notice/use of airport and equipment guidance), VFR chart and navigation/airspace (use of visual flight chart and analysis of navigation/) Performance/high-density aerial work (aircraft performance analysis/high-density aerial work analysis), aerodynamics and flight/stall/spin awareness principles (aerodynamics and flight/stall/spiral awareness principles); The research and evaluation of flight includes: flight plan, including performance diagram (operation of flight plan, Including the use of aircraft performance chart), cross-country departure (departure direction judgment in transition flight), dead-seeking navigation and use of magnetic compass (push algorithm navigation and application of magnetic compass), pilotage (landmark navigation), Vor navigation, open flight plan, safety in flight weather, identification of key weather conditions, estimation of flight visibility, diversification of alternatives, uncontrolled airport operation, controlled airport operation and lost procedures. I will be a little worried when I fly solo, but believe in myself and go to the unmanned airport to have a look, or I will be alone. Remember, safety comes first. Don't forget to tell the pilots at this airport that you are a student flying solo and ask them to avoid you!

The third stage assessment is the final stage assessment of private photos. The exam at this stage is a private school graduation exam. It is planned to be held at the end of lesson 40. The oral test and flight are conducted separately, but it is still an exam that you must pass the oral test to fly. This assessment will assess what you have learned in the whole private photo stage, and it is also the most difficult exam in the whole private photo stage. The contents of the oral test include: certificates and documents/airworthiness requirements (licenses and related documents/airworthiness requirements), meteorological information/cross-country flight plan (flight plan for obtaining meteorological information/transition flight), national airspace system (American airspace system), system performance and restrictions/operation (aircraft performance and restrictions/operation of aircraft system), systems and equipment. Failure (system and equipment failure), aerodynamics/stall/spin sensing/night preparation/aviation medicine (aerodynamics/stall and spiral sensing/night flight preparation/aviation medicine), Atc light signal/airport, runway and taxiway sign (ATC light signal/airport, runway and taxiway lighting system), sign and lighting (airport sign and lighting system); Passing this oral exam is also a complete summary of your course. Prepare to enter the flight test!

The content of flight test also includes what you have learned during the whole flight: pre-inspection/cockpit management/engine starting (pre-flight inspection/cockpit management/engine starting), taxiing/inspection (pre-taxiing/inspection), radio communication/traffic mode, normal and crosswind take-off/landing, soft field take-off/landing, short field take-off/landing, forward sliding landing, landing refusal/go-around. Turn around one point (ground reference maneuver: square turn and S-turn, turn around one point), maneuver during pilot's slow flight, power-off stall/power-on stall, basic instrument maneuver (IR), emergency approach and landing, system and equipment failure and use of checklist; See what to assess? Yes, a lot. Take your time and do it one by one. After passing this exam, you can apply to take the FAA (American Aviation Administration) private photo exam. Generally speaking, this license exam is not as difficult as the school final exam. Come on! Congratulations on passing the exam, you are already a pilot! At present, learning private photos is the most difficult one in the whole flight training, from "knowing nothing about flying" to flying alone, and then becoming a private photo pilot. Look, it's worth paying!

Don't think about taking a few days off, brother, we still have a long way to go, and the next one is the most tiring license. In transpac, the licensed flights are basically carried out at night, and the ground classes are all carried out during the day. Remember to eat well and have a good rest! Because when flying instruments, it is necessary to imitate IMC (instrument flight meteorological conditions), and every student has to wear a hood to cover his eyes and can't see anything outside the cockpit, so he can only look at the flying instruments, which is also a very depressing thing! At this stage, you should learn to fly * *, because * * is very sensitive and doesn't adapt to it at first, but you must treat it well, because only in * *, the instructor can give you a pause and give you time to think. In the sky, that's a wrong step, a wrong step! At the same time, this stage is also an important period to practice everyone's gentle operation. The instrument must be patient when flying, because it can't see the outside, so all actions should be as gentle as possible.

This stage of instrument flight is divided into four stages. The first stage exam is the eighth lesson. Part of the oral test is: airplane performance. /Restrictions (aircraft performance and restrictions), system operation (operating system), flight instruments (flight instruments), instrument cockpit inspection (instrument cockpit inspection procedures), ATC permission (ATC permission for instrument flight) and compliance permission (completion permission); The contents of the flight part include: straight and horizontal flight, airspeed change, constant climb, constant descent, constant climb, constant descent, standard speed turn, climb/descent turn, sharp turn, abnormal attitude, slow flight, stall, partial panel flight, timing steering compass heading, post-flight procedures and cockpit resource management. Use of the list; It doesn't look that difficult, does it? It is said that the exam at this stage is the simplest one in the whole training. There is little new content in these things. The only difference is that when doing these actions, you are required not to look out of the cabin. All judgments are based on instruments in the plane. At this stage, it is mainly to learn how to scan and interpret the instrument. Seemingly simple things are the basis for future study!

The second stage of the exam is lesson 18. At this stage, the main research is the waiting procedure, the judgment of different waiting procedures and the adjustment of flight speed and altitude. The oral contents of the evaluation include: ATC permission, compliance with w/ program, compliance with w/ permission, working principle of VOR/NDB/DME/GPS, frequency, common errors and corrections, and waiting time at different heights. The flight part includes: VOR waiting, NDB waiting, attitude instrument flying, VOR orientation (VOR tracking, VOR interception (cutting into VOR radial line), DME arc (DME arc), NDB orientation, NDB tracking, NDB interception, NDB time, speed, distance (NDB positioning, cutting and tracking azimuth line, time, speed and distance are related to NDB), and use checklist (. When doing these waiting procedures, it is mainly necessary to understand the position relationship between your own aircraft and the azimuth line (radial line) required by the waiting procedures, and judge the entry mode. Be sure to be in front of the plane and always know how to fly the plane next. At what altitude? What courses? How long will it take? How to fly after that? Wait!

The third stage of the exam is lesson 33. At this stage, we mainly study various methods, which are divided into two categories: accurate methods and imprecise methods. Precision approach is generally ILS (Instrument Landing System), and non-precision approach is generally practiced with VOR, NDB and GPS approaches. The third stage of the exam is also to evaluate these methods. The specific oral part includes: weather information and performances. /restrictions, instrument cockpit inspection, ATC permission/compliance/permission/compliance/procedures, and explanations of various approach icons; The flight part mainly includes: VOR hold, attitude instrument flight, VOR tracking/interception/orientation (VOR waiting program, basic instrument flight, VOR positioning, cutting and tracking known radial lines). VOR approach local panel, GPS approach, ILS approach, go-around approach, etc. The content of learning at this stage is the focus of the whole musical instrument stage. As long as everyone practices more and arranges their time and energy in the cockpit. Nervous but orderly!

The fourth stage exam is also the final exam of instruments, so prepare well! After studying 40 instrument classes, the school begins to test your theoretical and practical flying ability. First of all, the oral part: obtaining weather information, IFR X-C flight plan, submitting IFR flight plan, pre-flight preparation and IFR system. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it's just a headline. There are many knowledge points under each topic. These are all the knowledge that everyone usually accumulates. Don't wait until the exam to study. It's probably too late. It is easy to study at ordinary times! What does the flight part contain? Mainly learned in peacetime: instrument cockpit inspection, ATC permission/compliance with w/ procedure/compliance with w/ permission, IFR departure procedure, waiting, abnormal attitude, VOR, NDB, GPS, ILS approach (VOR, NDB, GPS, ILS approach), go-around approach, circling approach, approach and landing, loss of communication, partial panel approach, use checklist, LAHSO. Just like private photos (PPL), the next step is the FAA examination, so be careful to prepare! The test of the whole instrument (IR) stage is ATC. At this stage, land and air calls are often very long and need to be repeated, so there is nothing wrong with learning English well!

Finally, I got the last license-multi-instrument business photo (MECPL), which is the simplest stage in the whole training, because it has only one stage, that is, only the final exam of the school and the inspection exam of the bureau! This stage is mainly from one engine to two engines, so it is not very difficult! At present, in lesson 40, 18 is a single-engine plane PA28- 18 1, and in the next 22 lessons, it is a double-engine PA44- 180, but there is still 10 in these 22 lessons, so you know that flying is not the most difficult, but the spoken part is the most difficult.
