Becoming a pilot is indeed a challenging job. It is more than
just attending your flight training, classes, and passing
those practical examinations. Keep in mind that you're taking
a huge responsibility of a hundred or more lives, and even for
the million-dollar airplane. Thus, it requires the perfect
harmony of skills, attitude and constant learning and
practice.
As technology advances, various useful creations emerge. One
of these is
vliegtuig volgen (Dutch Link) (English Translated Link). Vliegtuig Volgen is a Dutch term, which means flight tracking in English. By means of this, pilots can view the current
position of the aircraft in real time regardless of the
location in the world. It can track details like altitude,
speed, and even the associated flight information. Pilots can
even review their aviation chart.
As you start putting your flying career in motion, to become
one of the best ace aviators is something that you should
strive for. Here are some tips that can help you to become a
better pilot:
It is expected that pilots have enough knowledge of why an
airplane flies and how it works. Since it is the most basic
thing that is being taught in the aviation school. But not all
spend ample amount of time to understand the aerodynamic
factors. It is not necessary that you have to become an aero
engineer just to have a deeper understanding of this, what
matters most is you allocate enough time to read. You need to
know the effects of angle of attack, and the consequences of
the way control surfaces change the camber of the wing and
even the tail. Yes, this isn't a complete list, but knowing
this essential information is a good start.
MAKE YOUR LANDINGS ACCURATE.
It is widely known to be both the most significant and
difficult part of flying. Yes, landings have always been
tricky but you need to keep in mind that your goal should
always be giving your best while landing. It is recommended to
always try and touch down in the first 600-800 feet,
irrespective of the length of the runway. The goal is to land
safely on a 2,000 feet long runway. Mastering this enables you
to have a smoother landing experience all round and this can
only possible if you act smartly and pay full attention.
GET INTO AIRPLANE MODE.
Before you get inside the airplane and take-off, give yourself
ample time to internalize on your flight and have some sort of
planning. You need to attentively focus on flying alone and
get rid of other stuff in your mind. Always remember that best
pilots don't allow life's distractions to get in the way of a
good flight. If you don't feel like flying, don't force
yourself.
BE PRECISE.
Every pilot should be aware that being precise is the only way
to have a successful and safe flight. It further conveys that
you need to be precise in terms of airspeed, heading, and even
proper altitude. This can be attained as you fly frequently
and undergo continuous training so as to improve your
performance and skills as well.
MAKE A MISTAKE? ADMIT IT, LEARN, AND MOVE ON!
Nobody is perfect. There will be times that
you make mistakes, whether big or small. The best and mature
way to solve this is to be accountable. It is important that
you admit your mistake, learn from it and move forward. A
pilot must know how to resolve problems and even weaknesses of
their own. Always remember that you have a huge responsibility
that you carry upon your shoulder. Don't worry that much about
committing mistakes, rather, make sure to further improve your
skills on the next flight. Another important characteristic of
being a pilot is the ability to make good and timely decisions
regardless of the scenarios.
PLANNING.
One of the best characteristics of being a pilot is the
ability to plan their flight carefully before execution. It is
indeed necessary to perform the plan-do-check-analyze cycle.
For the safety of all, the pilot makes sure that they check
the performance parameters predicted for a certain flight. If
otherwise these are not met, they scrutinize things out and
give contingency plans on to which they can improve to make
sure that they are within the so-called standard performance
parameters. You need to take note of such a scenario so you
can think of a better way on how to improve your next flight.
RESPECT CREWMEMBERS, PASSENGERS, AND STAFF EQUALLY.
Attitude and personality vary per person. Always keep in mind
that it is necessary to treat everyone with respect,
regardless of their status or designation, in order to create
a conducive working environment and work peacefully with
everybody. Don't let your disagreements with one person turn
into a way for a group of people to judge you. It is not only
applicable to individuals, but this is also for flight
regulations, procedures and even processes of a flight.
CONFIDENCE, NOT ARROGANCE.
One of the best virtues a pilot can have is humility. Always
remember to keep your feet on the ground regardless of your
achievements. Yes, you’re fortunate enough to be on that
position. You don’t need to brag on that. There's nothing
wrong with being confident since it is indeed needed as you
fly because it is the drive that pushes you to do your
responsibility and that you know to yourself that you're
capable. Just a piece of advice, never ever let your
confidence turn into arrogance. Since being around an arrogant
pilot is so frustrating.
