To learn how to fly an airplane, you first need to clearly define your own goals, then choose a flight school for training, where qualified instructors work.
Instructions
Step 1
To learn how to fly an airplane, first choose the right flight school based on your goals. You need to take into account that commercial training is expensive, so choose only a company with a high rating, confirmed by the appropriate certificates. After choosing a school, sign a training contract with it, but keep the following points in mind.
Step 2
Firstly, you will first control the plane on a special simulator, and only then you will have exciting flights into the sky together with an instructor. Secondly, it will take a lot of time until you get a license to fly an aircraft, and the training course is designed for a long time.
Step 3
First, check out the cockpit of the Boeing 737 simulator, which is used by many modern flight schools to train newcomers to get a feel for how huge airplanes are operated. As soon as you sit in the pilot's seat at the helm, the instructor will acquaint you with all the monitors, buttons, toggle switches, sensors and levers. Remember that exercising on a simulator plane is not like a computer game, because outside the window you will see a real runway. During the "imaginary" flight, the cockpit of the simulator shakes and tilts a little, as in the sky.
Step 4
Listen carefully to the instructor how you need to set the flight parameters, what instrument readings you need to pay attention to when the aircraft takes off and its subsequent landing. By practicing on the simulator the skills of taking off an airplane, describing circles over the airport, the fate of landing a liner on the runway, you will gain self-confidence and bring all the necessary actions to automatism.
Step 5
Further piloting of the aircraft you will already carry out not on the Boeing model, but on small two-seater aircraft, on which students of various flying clubs learn to fly. After you and the instructor fly off the required number of hours, you can already start independent flights, practicing not only simple skills, but also simple aerobatics.
Step 6
If you want to learn how to fly an aircraft in order to acquire your own aircraft, you will need to obtain a private pilot license. How to issue it, you will be prompted at the flight school where the training is carried out, but try to find out at the moment in advance, even before signing the contract and starting the training.
