im taking my lessons now flying with dorval aviation, its the furthest building to the left at the end of the video! nice landing right down the line.
Congrats on going for your wings. Remember to keep it fun and don't let Aviation run your life. It's a great time to get into the business. Safe flying.
i'm now 12 and i want to become a pilot. how long does it take to complete the school for commercial license and how do i build up my expericence hours after school
Well written for being 12. I'm not sure where you are from but I always tell people your age to get involved with Air Cadets or find a local gliding club. You can start even before you drive a car. It took me about 2 school years to complete my commercial licence and about 6 years to get a real commercial flying job. Most pilots will become instructors after they get their licences and do that for a year perhaps two before moving on.
If you live in the north, flying in the bush is even better as far as im concerned. Those are the most common ways to build experience. There is also photography/Survey flying jobs and parachute jump schools that employ pilots. Oh I almost forgot.. expect to work long hours away from home, don't plan anything, stay single and work for nothing for the first 10 years at least!
Yes you're right, I remember once my brother on a YAK-40 made a short landing using reverse on short final approach at MUBY (BAYAMO)RWY 25 turning left on first taxi way.... one pax standing up said -este piloto es un "caballo"!!.... -this pilot is a "horse"... this expression means is the best
The regs say a turbine aircraft is not to descend below the vasi or glidepath until necessary for a normal landing. VFR or not, you are not supposed to 'drag it in' like that.
Didn't see the vasi and the glidpath was giving erroneous indications flucatuating due to local interferance of some sort I think a cell phone or sun spots caused it.. A normal VFR landing was achieved safely, and after a short taxi the crew debreifed as per the Safety management plan.

You do what you gotta do when VFR and exiting on the first possible taxi way. Gets the passengers off 6 minutes faster.
