Learning how to fly is one of the most rewarding and engaging challenges we can take on.

During their Recreational Pilot Certificate training our students work their way through the syllabus, starting with 'The Effects of Controls', 'Straight & Level', 'Climbing and Descending'. Lesson 4 covers 'Turns'. This is what a 45 degree steep turn looks like, using the horizon as a guide, and showing what the turn looks like on the instrument display. If you wanted to, you can watch the first few video lessons of the recreational syllabus, over at our flight training platform at: https://lnkd.in/g58KHgf6

Answers to the “what is after a PPL for you?” question usually fall into a number of categories, each of which elicits a certain response, as follows... https://lnkd.in/eevs-d42 #FlightTraining #FlightSchool #TorontoFlightSchool #TorontoFlightTraining #HowToFly #PilotLicense #PilotTest

Wingtip Wednesday … A different angle. Question: Why is the Captain doing the walk around? Let me share with you why. The walk around gives my job "scale". It reminds me of where I came from and how far. It is the first step and opportunity for me to interface with the aircraft, at a primal level. It also gives me another opportunity to meet other members of the team. The Crew Chief, the ramp crew, occasionally the AMTs, the aircraft re-fuelers. All vitally important members of our team. It earns credibility with the other flight deck crew members. Whether it’s one First Officer or three. "The Captain is doing the walk around", rain or shine and they appreciate it. As I come onboard, I’ll check in with the Purser and Flight Attendants to make sure that they have everything they need to perform their duties and brief them on the details of our flight together. But the most important reason that I do the walk around, it is a sign of respect & trust. I respect my First Officers and trust them in preparing the flight deck and navigation / performance systems for our trip to a far away destination. We have procedures, flows and checklist to verify all is correct before we depart. But I’ve established that trust going forward. That’s why I’m doing the walk around. Nice view of the wingtip, wouldn’t you agree? Credit to Ralyn Wheeler for the “Wingtip Wednesday” inspiration.

If your goal is to be an airline pilot, it’s rather important to realise that airlines wont look at you when you first graduate from Flight Training. You need to build hours first.
