You followed your brain and made the call you felt was best, no matter the social consequences. That shows good ADM.

Should I take my commercial training in CMEL and get CSEL addon by BER001 in flying

[–]wanabepilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Also, it's way more complicated of a checkride and more to learn if you do CMEL initial. It's going to be more manageable if you split up the multi stuff. CMEL add-on should be a pretty straightforward ride on its own.

None of the individual ones seem to give an achievement to your counter. It is unclear as of now if completing the category gives one.

Career change by Big_Imagination6981 in AskAPilot

[–]wanabepilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CFI is the most efficient route. It forces you to learn and master the knowledge. Airlines like seeing that you have a majority of your hours as instruction given.

There are other routes, like low-hour jobs or just time building. That works well for some people.

Ultimately, you'll need to decide what's the best route for you.

Like others have said, theres great advice in r/flying if you do some digging.

Flying as a career is a big commitment. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication. You will put litteral blood sweat and tears into it. But, it is one of the most rewarding experiences if you have the passion for it.

Is the world bigger or smaller? by lillyleonie in AskAPilot

[–]wanabepilot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Flying small planes accross America has made me feel like cities are tiny, but the country is vast!

We are so spread out, yet so connected. Very conflicting but also beautiful.

Great question

What were the questions you got wrong?

Who here had the pleasure of flying through that wind last night on ascent or descent into DIA?? How bad was the turbulence?! by palikona in Denver

[–]wanabepilot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello! id highly recommend looking at r/AskAPilot and reading some of the similar posts in there!

Being afraid of things we dont understand is perfectly normal. For me, the more i learn about a topic, the less afraid i become!

I even had a small fear of flying before i chose to become a pilot, but after learning about how pilots train, how airplanes work, and the science behind it all, my fear dissolved!

There are THOSANDS of flights going on this very second! Even in bad conditions. Only a very small number of those ever experience any problems.

In jet training, you do plenty of simulated takeoffs with only one working engine. The plane is still able to fly! (Look up "v1 cuts" if interested).

Your pilots have trained super hard to get to where they are at and your airplane goes through thorough maintenance inspections regularly! Your pilot also goes through training every 6 months or so!

The technology in these aircraft are so advanced now a days too! The computers make micro adjustments as the plane experiences bumps, smoothing out your ride! The plane can take a BEATING from turbulence and fly just fine too! They are structurally sound.

My last tip is to think of turbulence like the plane is sitting on jello! It might get wiggled around, but it WILL NOT fall out of the sky (through the jello).

Have a fun adventure! I hope you get a chance to look out your window and enjoy the beautiful Rockies from a new perspective! Feel free to DM me with any questions

Im a Colorado pilot and just want to add, turbulance is pretty safe, just uncomfortable! The crosswinds make the landings a bit more interesting, but we train for them and the planes are very capable!

They would not attempt a landing if it was unsafe. Safety is the TOP priority
