Interview with a flight-school - SAA 

Agree.

Hey can i know you are from?

Hi! If you want to speak to Stein and ask questions you can go into the app-chat in the Mentour Aviation app and tag @scavac.com . He will answer your questions when he can.

It's not physical beauty but it is the ambition

Jamie Wilson I agree it is definitely ridiculously expensive, we can get a sponsorship by various airlines

its all about passion buddy :)

30 is still young enough to start Culchie. As long as you get started before the age of 35 it shouldn't be a problem.

The Network Hunter You sure could. You would become a pilot at the age of roughly 40-45

@Lachlan Thank You :)

@Mentour Pilot Thank You

So, how did it go ?

@@Rockstar6319 Chose another similar school also offering a government funded scheme, got accepted to both and finished training in June last year :)

Alicja Chrobak När man söker deras YH utbildning måste man ha grundläggande behörighet samt medical class 1 och flygpsykologiskt lämplighetstest. Detta är grund kraven för att kunna söka och testerna får du bekosta själv. Sedan kan du söka utbildningen och alla får komma deras egna tester, i västerås om du har behörighet. Nytt för i år är att de väljer ut de som får gå den utbildningen beroende på resultatet. Då det är deras tester som räknas, betygen är irrelevanta.

Wow, sorry I'm replying a year later! First of all, I'm not sure how it works in the US, but in the UK you have to have 5 GCSEs (minimum of a C in Maths, English, Science and 2 others.) That's it for the Cadet programs through CTC Aviation (L3 Training) You can also apply with a minimum of a 2:2 degree. (I decided uni wasn't for me) If you want to fly corporate then you'll need a CPL (Commercial Pilots Licence) possibly an ATPL if you're carrying passengers, I'm not sure as I've learnt about Airline career and not this sector. Either way, If you go to a training school and come out the other side with a licence you'll then apply for aviation job like you would any other job. All careers in Aviation have downsides, do your proper research before picking your field. Drive your passion? That should be inside you naturally, your dream will do that for you. If you wanna get ahead of the game, pick up some books on flying, try your hand at a flying simulator (FSX is pretty cheap and doesn't need a machine to run it.)

Also, frig yeah! Apply for a job! Get some life experience, earn some money! You're going to need to find ways to show leadership, teamworking etc

He answered that question already. You can, BUT you need to learn Swedish as the courses are mainly conducted in Swedish.

Mentour Pilot thank you for your willing to help, but what i was meaning was that im looking for going to france to hopfuly become a pilot and your channel is my main source for intel and "how to's"(im thankful for that). i was hoping that you'll do a video about placens on europe of which the programes is founded by the goverment

Kevin Conneely I went to an Open day for Oxford Aviation Academy and I did one of the tests, It was mainly mental maths.

Mostly simple mental maths and simple algebra. Trigonometry too for ground studies are what I have come across so far :)

Focus on school and start looking for ways to train to become a pilot as early as possible. The better prepared you are the easier it will be. Good luck!

Mentour Pilot Thank you very much for answear! :-)

Hi,brother did u succeeded to get training there m also going there

Thank you, seen this a bit late but good to know i put down the right thing anyway xD

my pleasure :)

Karthik Nakul r u going to be a pilot or want to

+Mentour Pilot I need to ask these questions from Emirates 1) what courses do they offer? 2) what is the fee structure for an Indian student? 3) what are included in the fee structure? 4) where will they give simulation training? 5) what is the duration for the training? 6) what qualifications required for pilot training programme (academic levels) 7)any basic skills required? 8)how many months are for theory programme? 9)how to prepare pilot aptitude test? 10)does an engineering degree required for pilot training?

chayan agarwal that's what I was going to ask about tanx for putting it out there!

Have you done a modular training?

Haaaj or maybe Svensk pilotutbildning at Säve flygplats

Hi Isaac, there are several people in the same situation as you. Therefore we have developed an abbreviated physics course that only takes 2 weeks and can be done online. Passing this course at our school will enable you to apply to our self-sponsored integrated programs. I don't know what other schools offer, but I am sure there are others providing similar options as well. If you would like more information about the option we provide you can send an e-mail to info@bfsaa.se. I hope this information was helpful!

Hi David, that is actually not true. If you have an FAA ATP and a VALID typerating + 500 hrs on type, you can convert to EASA more easily. You will still have to write the 14 ATPL(A) exams, but you get away without needing any ground school (although I would still recommend it). Thereafter all you will need is a skill test and your conversion process will be completed. There are probably examiners in the US that can assist you with the skill test for the conversion. The ATPL(A) exams could be written at our base in San Diego or at another EASA approved flight school in the US. If you want more info on this just send an e-mail to info@bfsaa.se I hope this was encouraging and helpful!

You can find more detailed information about the conversion requirements here: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32011R1178&from=EN

Thanks for the clarification!

You're welcome David!

Lemtrix one is basically free. The other one is not

And you get an internship at an airliner, not for linetraining but other administrative jobs.

Hi! I think it all depends on your attitude towards studying. I suggest you to start with both the degree and the ppl course, which could also be helpful for you to understand if flying would actually be your career.

As Stein mentions in the video, having a degree will allow you to have something to fall back on if you want to change careers later on or if recruitment is slow when you graduate. If you are convinced that becoming a pilot is what you really want however, you will be able to enter the job market sooner if you start flight training right away. There are pro's and con's with both choices. If you are unsure we recommend attending an information event at a flight school and talking to people who are working as pilots. Listen to and seek advice, but make sure you are honest with yourself and your own wishes and ambitions for the future.

And how do I take an aptitude test?

Information on this course is only available in swedish it seems.

Hi Kris, as Rasmus mentioned, the information about the YH Government sponsored integrated program in Sweden is only available in Swedish. The reason for this is that it is a requirement to read, speak and understand Swedish to apply for the program.

***** Yes, I lived in Sweden for 4 years and can speak Swedish fluently; but must you be a Swedish citizen? I have a Finnish-American dual citizenship, so would it be possible to apply for it for me?
