Hi, I got something I can't really understand or find it : Some instructors teach, that we should step on the brakes after T/O to stop the wheels turning. Is that for any real use ?

If you could fly any aircraft in the world, which one would you choose? 😊

Hi, I hope you’re all doing well. Now that things have calmed down again, I’d like to continue being here for you and help with your careers, questions, or just have some good conversations. Here in Norway, one of the major flight schools is facing bankruptcy, and it made me think about something: Flight schools often rely on students who can afford the high tuition fees. If you have the money, you can become a pilot, whether you’re truly suited for the role or not. On the other hand, Norway offers an ab-initio pilot training program funded by the government. You have to pass some tests, and if you do, the entire ATPL training is covered, with no bonding or commitments afterward. Both approaches have their pros and cons, but I’m curious what you think: Should more countries offer pilot training through universities, like other higher-education programs, or should it remain the responsibility of commercial flight schools?

What do you think are the most important attributes of a flight instructor?

Hi guys, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for being a part of this community. So far, we’ve established some great conversations, created specific teaching content, and grown from 0 to 13 members in just a few weeks. Over the last few days, the personal time I’ve been able to invest here has dropped quite a bit, mainly due to a lot of other things happening at this time of year. That said, my goal is to keep this going. The most important thing this community needs in order to thrive is growth. The more members we have, the more naturally conversations will flow. This group already contains a huge amount of competence, from experienced pilots to instructors and drone operators, and I’m sure there are many more people out there who could benefit from getting access to this knowledge. For that reason, my main focus right now is growth, while still keeping conversations going and continuing to release new lessons. Thank you so much for being here, and I truly hope we can build something special with this project.
