Why I Chose Aviation as a Career My first encounter with aviation was in 2019 when I stepped into an airport for the very first time. I was immediately captivated by the pilots—their uniforms, their professionalism, and the way they carried themselves. That moment sparked a passion in me. Boarding a plane that morning, I found myself in awe of how aircraft could fly, and I was curious about the technology and systems behind it. I remember gazing out of the window, mesmerized by the clouds, and asking my dad if I could become a pilot. His response was, “Finish your first degree, and then you can fly.” That conversation stayed with me. By my third year in university, I had made the decision to pursue flight training. However, I knew this path came with significant financial and educational challenges. I started doing extensive research on what becoming a pilot entails—the training, the responsibilities, and both the rewarding and difficult aspects of the career. To further immerse myself, I secured an internship with an airline, where I gained hands-on experience and insight into aviation from within. I was fortunate to work alongside professionals who were willing to teach and guide me through my journey. The experience only deepened my love for aviation. Now that I’ve completed my degree, my passion for aviation is stronger than ever. Currently, I am serving as an avionics technician during my national service with Air Peace. It’s been a fulfilling experience to contribute to the safety and satisfaction of passengers, knowing that they are in safe hands. Becoming an airline pilot has always been my dream, and I am committed to making that dream a reality. Though the journey ahead is long, I am determined to reach my goal and make both myself and my family proud. If you have any connections within the aviation industry, I would love to connect and learn from your experiences! #Aviation #CareerJourney #PilotInTraining #AviationIndustry #FlightTraining

Investing in the next generation

💟This week, we have a warm interview with Sawant Samidha Satish, an aspiring female pilot with a 7-year background as a cabin crew member for an international airline. She has transitioned her dream from the cabin to the cockpit. ✈𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝟕 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭? My time as a flight attendant gave me a deep appreciation for aviation and the complexities of flight. I wanted to be more involved in-flight operations and take on a greater responsibility, so this was a natural progression. ✈𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠? My background as a cabin crew provided me with invaluable insights into passenger management and safety protocols. Also, as cabin crew, you work with a different set of crews every day, which means learning to adapt to a new environment every day. ✈𝐀𝐬 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐀𝐀 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐧𝐚𝐦, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞? BAA Training offers hands-on experience with modern technology and systems and a focus on real-world applications. Additionally, working closely with experienced aviation professionals and gaining insights into industry best practices can be especially valuable. Also, the facility is open 24 hours for students to study and practice, which I feel is a big plus. ✈𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐀𝐀 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠? Transitioning from my initial CPL days, where it was all about manual controls, to experiencing A320’s automation and advanced avionics was exciting. However, the course is a steep learning curve and requires extensive training and mastering new skills. It’s extremely challenging but equally rewarding. ✈𝐎𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝟏-𝟏𝟎, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐁𝐀𝐀 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐧𝐚𝐦? Considering instructor expertise, modern training facility and the support and resources available from industry experts, I would rate BAA Training Vietnam a solid 10 and would recommend it to others. #typerating #a320 #b737ng #pilot #Pilotjob #aviation #aviationindustry #airbus

To become a #pilot, there are several steps that one needs to follow: 1. Obtain a High School Diploma or Equivalent: A high school diploma or equivalent education is usually required for aspiring pilots. This provides basic knowledge and skills necessary for pursuing higher education in aviation. 2. Attend Aviation School: Next, students must enroll in flight training programs offered at aviation schools or colleges. These courses typically range from 30 hours to 120 hours long and cover topics such as aerodynamics, aircraft systems, navigation, meteorology, and flight physics. Completing these courses enables individuals to obtain their Private Pilot License (PPL). 3. Build Flight Experience: After obtaining their PPL, candidates need to build flight experience through logged flight hours with certified instructors. This helps them gain confidence, improve their flying skills, and qualify for more advanced certifications. 4. Earn Advanced Certifications: Aspiring commercial pilots will need additional certifications beyond their PPL before they can apply for jobs at airlines. Some common certifications include Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot License (CPL), Multi-Engine Rating, and Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (ATP). 5. Apply for Jobs at Airlines: Once qualified, pilots can start applying for jobs at various airlines based on their preferences, certification levels, and flying experience. They may also consider joining airline training programs to enhance their career prospects further. 6. Stay Updated with Industry Changes: Finally, it's crucial to stay updated about changes and advancements in aviation technology, regulations, and safety protocols to maintain proficiency throughout one’s career as a pilot. Continuous learning contributes significantly to staying competitive and relevant in this field. Note: Becoming a pilot requires dedication, hard work, persistence, and financial investment towards acquiring education and licenses. It's essential to ensure that one meets all eligibility requirements set forth by aviation authorities before embarking on this journey. #pilotlife #aviation #flighttraining #pilottraining #becomeapilot #careeradvice #dreamjob #aviationindustry #airlinepilot #flightacademy #pilotcareer #aviationcareer #pilotjobs #pilotlicense #flightexperience #aviationpassion #pilotgoals #aviationeducation #pilotjourney #pilotcommunity #pilotinspiration #aviationtips #pilotadvice #aviationknowledge #pilotwisdom #pilotmentorship #aviationnetworking #pilotdevelopment #pilotmentor #aviationmentorship

Getting that first job in aviation can be quite challenging. Unlike many other industries, aviation places significant emphasis on experience and certifications. Even after acquiring a pilot's license, many aspiring pilots face the hurdle of building up flight hours to meet the minimum requirements of many employers. Additionally, the aviation industry is highly competitive, with numerous candidates vying for limited positions, making networking and persistence crucial. For those passionate about flying, persistence is key. Opportunities like flight instructing, banner towing, or ferrying planes can help build up valuable experience. Mentorships and aviation-related events can also open doors. Ultimately, getting that first aviation job often requires a mix of determination, patience, and a love for flying!
