1. flight training cycle

Because the domestic flight airspace is not completely open, the domestic aviation school even started the aircraft engine during training and prepared to take off on the runway or apron. Some departments called and said that they would stop all training if there was a training task.

The training can't be stopped in time, which makes the students very passive after paying the fees. Students often have to wait and exercise for a long time. It only takes 6-8 months to complete the training abroad, and it takes one or two years to complete it at home, but this can't be entirely attributed to the aviation school.

2. Flight training time

According to aviation regulations, both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft have the right to obtain a license for at least 40 hours, but please remember that this is the minimum standard. Recently, more and more training institutions have been publicized at home and abroad. Most aviation schools or training institutions will quote according to the minimum standards required by the regulations when quoting. What needs to be reminded to all flying friends here is that if you sign a training contract with the minimum time according to aviation regulations and can't fly out within the regular hours, you must do it.

Here, I reveal a set of data to you. Take the United States as an example In the data recorded by FAA, almost no one (including American citizens) got private photos within 40 hours. In the United States, the average time to get private photos is between 55 and 65 hours. It is even normal for some people to fly 70 hours to take private photos. Because the purpose of flight training is not only to obtain a license, but more importantly, to be safe, I hope that the flight life after obtaining a license can be safe. In China, some training institutions only issue licenses according to the minimum requirements of aviation regulations in order to strengthen the competitiveness of training quotations. Therefore, when choosing aviation schools and training institutions, we must consult and compare more, and we must mark the training content when signing the contract.

3. Flight training content

Domestic local maritime training institutions, centering on the training base, have a flight radius of 5 kilometers. Take helicopter flying as an example. If you go up and do a few pentagonal patterns (accompanied by instructors), you will win the solo. In the United States, you need to fly at least 65,438+000 miles alone (without a coach) to win solo flight. In China, starting these airborne emergency procedures is also a simplification of the exercise, and other exercises are also "reluctantly" completed. You know, emergency procedures are indispensable, and the key moment is to save the lives of pilots and passengers. Some pilots who have been trained by simplified procedures are inexperienced and lack the ability to directly assume the duties of captain.

In China, a pilot usually has to wait a long time from signing up to getting into the cockpit. Coupled with all kinds of control and climate, flying freely becomes easier and easier.

In America, this is much bolder. Whether it is training helicopters or fixed wings, when the relevant admission procedures, physical examination and tsa fingerprint entry are completed, the first day of registration is to demonstrate flight, and flight driving and theoretical knowledge basically stop simultaneously. A solid theory can make flying safer, but in practice, from the perspective of controlling the aircraft itself, the theory is not that important. What's important is that this is just like driving. How to learn the principle of driving requires theoretical practice. The theoretical knowledge aviation school has special instructors' guidance, and the aerial photography courses are all stopped in English, so it usually makes rapid progress. If you have any questions you don't understand, you must always ask the instructor or any instructor for advice. You will be happy to help.

The theoretical exam is relatively simple. There is an app on the mobile phone, which can search for pilots' private or business preparation, download a mock test bank, and do all the questions several times. When the imitation test is not less than 95 points, you can take the test. The examination time is 2 hours (70 minutes passed), and the questions will involve some knowledge about aircraft structure and flight principle, but most of them are climate, navigation, communication, flight rules and airport flight.

According to the regulatory requirements of FAA, Aviation School 14 1 needs to stop the stage inspection of flight students during each license training. After the three-stage test, the instructor director of the aviation school will imitate the assessment of students and think that the students have reached the level of taking the final license exam and will contact the FAA examiner. Generally speaking, the oral test will be stopped for about 2-3 hours during the test, and then the flight skills test will be stopped after the oral test. The time is about 1.2- 1.8 hours, and there are dozens of subjects, large and small, with the most emergency procedures. When you pass the exam, the examiner is usually very good and will congratulate you on passing the license exam on the spot. If you fail, you will be congratulated on the spot.

4. Flight training fee

As we all know, the cost of flight training in the United States is relatively low, but for most families, the training cost of several hundred thousand dollars is not small after all.

There are nearly 10000 airports in the United States. Except for private airports or aprons, most airports and FBOs are open, with aircraft leasing and training flights. As long as the training institution belongs to 14 1 and can issue i20, foreign students can come here to stop practicing, and they can teach in small classes and study on call (mostly one-on-one), even if the expenses of accommodation, transportation and changing photos in China are added, it is slightly better than that in China. However, while choosing foreign training, we also need to be prepared for it. After all, it is not a holiday trip, but we still have to control the language. As for us China people, English is not our mother tongue, so we should really study hard.
