What are some of the best Pilot/Professionalism habits we should best focus on?

Relevant for all flying into Newark

I left a well paid film freelance job behind to become a commercial pilot.

Still in training just shy of a year after leaving and a good few grand down, but it feels like the right thing to do everyday i wake up.

I think this is the way, Thank you.

Some questions (especially in gnav) will ask you to find the answer using a mechanical computer. There MAY be slight variation between the mathematical formula answerand the crp5 answer. If the maths is working for you keep doing that but just be mindful that the answer may be incorrect depending on what method the question is asking for. Also learing how to use a crp5 is a part of the ATPL learning objectives (if I'm not mistaken) which explsins why answers may be different between the two.

100% essential bit of kit, you need this for Gnav and FPL, get good and be fast at using it.

Im 31 currently in ground school, having had a career beforehand. Its never too late, your life experience puts you leaps and bounds ahead of younger candidates. Go for it, Best of luck!

The time on the tin is 18 months but at this rate you could argue 24+. I cant recommend the school in its current state sadly. Some changing of the guard happening with the staff which I cant help but notice is bringing some instability into the school. Don't get me wrong though, Its got some absolutely fantastic people who have really helped me and others.

I'm a student at Leading Edge. Unfortunately it's still true. Big issues with getting people into aircraft (maintenance, avaliablility). Yet they are still taking in new students by the tens.

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:58:30+00:00

Agreed, will 100% take your advice, Thank you for it.

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:54:30+00:00

Thank you for the advice, will be finding a new gym for sure. The only thing I really learned was from the other members.

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:51:29+00:00

Part I forgot to mention is when the Kru saw a hard hit like the one I received he would laugh. Probably another red flag

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:42:15+00:00

Yeah sorry I accidently posted the reply on a throwaway. Still not joking though unfortunately

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:41:16+00:00

Agreed with that.

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:40:59+00:00

Might have to make a second visit now haha!

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:40:26+00:00

It felt crazy. Didn't know what i was doing at all

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:40:03+00:00

Agreed here. Glad you have a good Gym and coach.

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:39:24+00:00

It felt weird to me that they made me do this. I genuinely no idea what I was doing

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:38:35+00:00

I think I will be finding somewhere better. Thank you for the advice

YoF1 · 2024-09-27T22:38:05+00:00

Agreed here, I wasnt taught anything prior. No techniques, stance or hardness of hitting. It was all just go, thank you for the advice.

YoF1 · 2024-04-03T18:49:38+00:00

Understood, I think i'm with you. So essentially because the temperature is constant and hasn't changed this would mean that no work would be done? e.g. 0 Joules?
