What kind of experience is it to learn flying skills abroad?

More and more aviation enthusiasts choose to go to foreign aviation schools to learn flying skills at their own expense. At the same time, in the case of large demand for domestic pilots, imperfect domestic general aviation infrastructure, and scarcity of airports and fuel, the operating cost of domestic aviation schools is high, and the development is limited compared with that of foreign countries, resulting in the reality that a large number of China flight students are sent overseas for training. Overseas flight training is gradually emerging, so what kind of experience is it to learn to fly abroad? Don't panic, let the seniors tell you!

Want to write about Daniel's past source: Zhihu.

At the beginning of the theory class in the southern hemisphere, my teacher here, like the domestic teacher in the joke mentioned by @JoVi, likes to ask himself what he thinks is wrong, including the flight test. You don't do something well, but if you point out your problem directly with examer, they will think you are very good.

In fact, I was looking forward to a fun life before I came, probably because this country is more suitable for providing for the elderly. It's a little quiet, which makes me uncomfortable as a young man of 19. But such an environment is more suitable for calming down and studying flight.

Then you are really homesick, right?

When someone asks you which aviation school you fly in, you can answer that you graduated from Lan Xiang. Because you are not only a pilot, a chef, but also a barber. A mirror, a pusher, a handsome man. You can do whatever you want, or you can do whatever you want with yourself. Yes, you can be so willful without money.

Foreign partners generally go to North America, Oceania, France and South Africa.

Most of my friends are in the FAA, so I'll talk about the FAA ~ I took three-stage exams with three certificates of PPL/IFR/CPL, and then flew back to China for half a month, with high grades.

Time is fast and slow. Some aviation schools can't get PPL in one year, and some can get it in two or three months.

As for the interesting things?

1. My little friend got up early that morning to take the PPL exam, and studied nervously the night before. As a result, he was very sleepy after getting on the plane. Then at noon, the sun cleared up and the airflow stabilized, so he fell asleep in the air with his eyes narrowed ... Well, he fell asleep on the way to the airport where the examiner was! -。 -

2. One day, the wind was very strong ... His head hit the top of the plane on the taxiway ... The buddy sneaked back to the taxiway while the instructor was not paying attention, but he was caught by the instructor and called his number with his hand ... As a result, he could only return to the runway in tears and scold the instructor while taking off.

The small plane is very narrow. If you meet a fat teacher, you will block the oil-gas stirring rod ... I'm sorry ... Sir ... Please lift your legs. ...

It is said that the little friend who came back from FAA has a lot of ups and downs. Guanghan's Hei These children who come back from abroad just don't land well abroad, so long as they can fall into the grass, it doesn't matter! Only we are the 172 technology stream ~ 172 technology stream ~

A senior brother told me an interesting thing: those who flew abroad let go of solo flight, and then one day several senior brothers made an appointment to fly to another city, one after another. Lock the plane after landing, and then all go shopping in the city to buy food. The big bags and small bags returned home with full loads, then took the dishes home and cooked a hot pot together. Ps: Because the school is in the suburbs and there is no car, it is very inconvenient to go shopping in the urban area, so I have to go out as much as possible, which is rare. . .
