What are the best ways to prepare for aviation training?

For starters think of an area you want to train and educate yourself. Aviation and airline industry is very broad and complex business so it really depends what career path you want to take on. Training, qualifications and educational path for a pilot or a maintenance engineer is way different than someone who wants to work in ecommerce, marketing or revenue management. The former much more traditional, structured than the latter which in less structured and more dynamic.

Before you enroll in any aviation training program, you need to know the basic requirements and qualifications that you need to meet. Depending on the type of license or certificate you want to obtain, you may need to have a certain level of education, medical fitness, language proficiency, and background check. You also need to be aware of the costs, duration, and location of the program, and how it fits your schedule and budget. Research the different options and compare them carefully to find the best one for you.

Sempre que pensamos numa carreira precisamos decidir pelo trabalho numa atividade que realmente tenha tudo a ver conosco. Isso n?o significa dar o nosso sangue em uma empresa de grande porte ou numa de pequeno porte, como um passo para crescermos profissionalmente ou nos concentrarmos num determinado setor, e n?o em outro, ou crescer numa startup ou numa empresa tradicional. Tudo isso só faz aumentar as listas de compara??es das vantagens e desvantagens em cada uma das oportunidades que v?o aparecendo com aquela que realmente gostaríamos de ingressar.

Algo que sempre me preocupou foi o fato de toda vez que eu tive a oportunidade de iniciar uma conversa com quaisquer piloto ou profissionais dedicados da avia??o, foi o fato de todos eles conhecerem a história do Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger que pousou o voo 1549 da US Airways no dia 15 de janeiro de 2009. O evento ficou conhecido como “o milagre no Hudson”. Este Sully deveria ser um mero desconhecido, mais um a pousar com sucesso em situa??o de risco. As vezes me pergunto se é mesmo necessário aquelas instru??es no início de cada decolagem, sobre máscaras, poltronas flutuantes etc. pois na história somente um cara conseguiu a fa?anha. Todo um conjunto de a??es deveria adotado e perfeito para que pousos for?ados fossem uma opera??o banal.

Aviation is a vast field and simply jumping in feet-first is not a strong start to an aviation career. There are innumerable facets to this industry, so taking the time to explore the various opportunities available is an essential first step. Ask yourself: do I want to fly commercial aircraft? Would I be better suited to managing aircraft in an ATC facility? Am I better on the customer experience side of aviation? Maybe the corporate or business aspects of aviation intrigue me... These are all important questions to answer before diving right in. Once you have a solid foundation and are sure of the path you want to forge, only then should the quest for information, resources, and training begin. Aviation has something unique for everyone!

Every niche in aviation has an essential set of skills and knowledge that must be learned in the beginning; studying the basics is a crucial step in the journey to becoming an aviation expert. If you're taking to the skies, there is an abundance of resources to aid one's quest to become a pilot. It is an overwhelming load of information to digest, but it is essential to ensuring safe flight training ahead. The same goes for other aspects of aviation; specific skills are needed in ATM, airport operations, airline customer service, or air freight finance. Sometimes, previous experience in an unrelated corporate setting will apply to aviation, so the skills you have developed before aren't necessarily irrelevant in a new aviation career!

Meu primeiro emprego na vida foi numa companhia aérea regional, a Passaredo Transportes Aéreos. Minha decis?o por escolher esta empresa para trabalhar é porque tinha muito valor agregado em compara??o com empresas de nomes desconhecidos. Sinto muito dizer isso, mas é verdade! Agora me diga, o que está por traz de um nome? Pergunte para Machado de Assis. Há nomes e nomes e a chave é saber o que isso pode nos proporcionar no futuro. N?o foi por acaso que trabalhei na Passaredo, na Vasp e na Varig, s?o companhias que tiveram nomes fortes no Brasil.

Anyone can learn the basics on their own and get a leg up. I became interested in Naval Aviation much later than my peers and upon starting training, saw the initial difference. I was lucky I noticed early on with enough time to take corrective action. With a less competitive nature or even stronger lack of knowledge, there would not have been opportunity catch up. When it comes to aviation, just like you want to "stay ahead of the aircraft," you must stay ahead of the training. Basic things such as radio call practice, learning how to read the weather, or knowing a bit about navigation, even regular land nav, gives you an appreciable advantage in your first blocks. "One less thing to worry about" at initial training eases the transition.

Muitos sabem como é necessário conseguir um emprego, qualquer emprego tem suas turbulências, a vida faz isso com a gente, mas com o tempo a gente consegue obter o controle de nossa vida profissional. Trabalhar em companhia aérea sempre foi um sonho e dentre as possibilidades cheguei lá e encontrei também alguns becos sem saída. No entanto, é um caminho bem percorrido.

Join a community that fits well for whatever you are preparing. In community various people with vast experience are present and various input are there to take your career to next level. Professional network like LinkedIn where various professional are there share there views and these views are very good

Trabalhar em companhia aérea sempre foi um sonho e dentre as possibilidades cheguei lá e encontrei também alguns becos sem saída. No entanto, é um caminho bem percorrido. Como era uma estudante que acabara de entrar para o curso de administra??o, comecei a trabalhar como agente de vendas de passagens, um canal que me colocava em contato presencial com clientes dos mais diversos temperamentos. Procurei desenvolver uma certa habilidade com a matemática além de entregar as melhores palavras. A educa??o, a leveza e a aten??o aos detalhes s?o algumas das marcas que fizeram de mim uma boa profissional, pois a experiência operacional é o que levava aos resultados financeiros da empresa.

I am a big fan of this bullet point because I saw a few, otherwise outstanding candidates for aviation, get left behind because they weren't taking care of themselves. Actual operation of an aircraft takes focus, mental agility, and depending on platform and syllabus, physical resilience. The person who stresses and pressures themself to be as academically prepared and rehearsed as possible at the cost of proper rest and physical fitness fails to perform when it comes time to fly. Just as the sprinter isn't going to run a marathon the day before race day, the flyer must prepare adequately for their mission while tapering study and rehearsal to achieve peak performance on fly day.

Algo que sempre aprendi trabalhando diretamente com o público, uma boa conversa vale ouro, embora hoje para muitos agentes de viagens é algo que tem sido menosprezado ou deixado de lado. Em minha opini?o, se você desenvolve uma boa conversa com seu cliente, você pode direcioná-lo sempre para o próximo destino da viagem dele e ainda desenvolver um relacionamento que o fará lhe dar sempre a preferência de viajar com o trecho que você tra?a para ele.

My fight training included big highs and big lows. There were moments when I was thrilled to be doing something so incredible and moments when I thought, "This isn't for me." If I could give some advise to my younger self, it would be to prioritize your physical and mental health first. If you are not feeling great, your learning will be hampered. This is also an early lesson in CRM (crew resource management) by identifying your readiness and letting others around you know your state. I am not ashamed to admit I had some teary moments. When you hit the lows of flight training, remember that tens of thousands of other pilots have struggled before you. You will get through with patience, perseverance, and a focus on your health.

Whatever training you take, understand what the end goal is. Don't be afraid to re-evaluate and be honest with yourself about what you want. I know many people who joined flight school and realized they wanted to work in aviation, but not as pilots. Some became maintenance engineers, air traffic controllers, safety professionals, leadership positions, and cabin crew. FOMO (fear of missing out) is real, but don't let it dictate your career.
