The most often used flight computers are the ASA E6B, Pooleys CRP5, and Jeppesen CR3 flight computers. The ASA E6B Flight Computer comes in a cardboard version that costs roughly 200 TL. The metal version of the ASA E6B costs approximately 650 TL. The Pooleys CRP5 Flight Computer has over 1200 TL, while the Jeppesen CR3 variant is 700-800 TL.

A flight computer is one of the most crucial pieces of equipment for all pilots studying for their ATPL theory examinations. Although students use a variety of flight computer models, the ASA E6B, Pooleys CRP5, and Jeppesen CR3 Flight Computer models are the most frequent.

You can check the user manual when you buy Flight Computer to learn how to use it. Many videos about this may also be found on social media networks. This procedure, however, may take a little longer. All pilot applicants who have begun flight training with our company receive free flight computer training.

It is sufficient to have ICAO Level English competence for flight training. Companies may, however, request other English proficiency exam grades, such as TOEFL and IELTS, in job applications.

Your English level is measured by examining six factors, according to ICAO - International Civil Aviation Authority Document 9835. These criteria can be listed as follows;

  • Fluency 
  • Vocabulary 
  • Pronouncation 
  • Interaction 
  • Grammatical Structure 
  • Comprehension 

The International Civil Aviation Authority Document 9835 was used to develop the ICAO English levels. The levels of English are specified in this document as follows;

  • ICAO Level 1-3: Non-operational
  • ICAO Level 4: Operational
  • ICAO Level 5: Extended
  • ICAO Level 6: Expert

A minimum of ICAO Level 4 English proficiency is required to become a pilot.

Pilots must have at least ICAO Level 4 English proficiency, according to ICAO - International Civil Aviation Authority Document 9835.

People who desire to become pilots have a variety of possibilities. It is feasible to apply to institutions that offer formal education or enroll in DGCA-approved flight schools for this reason. Another alternative is to apply to one of the airline corporations' academies. These are the possibilities available in Turkey, and this training can be completed anywhere in the world. If you received your training outside of Turkey, you may need to go through additional steps to convert your license to a Turkish license in Turkey.

Because of the complexity of the training process, many people who are considering commencing flight school may be a little apprehensive at first. Despite the fact that pilot training necessitates a lengthy and tough research process, it is easy to argue that the challenges are justified in light of the results that will be achieved in exchange for the time and effort spent. Pilot candidates who are sufficiently motivated and diligent in their studies will have no trouble completing the training process.

A source of motivation for pilot candidates is the fact that the piloting profession earns more than other professional groupings. Of course, financial opportunities are not the only benefits of being a pilot. The following are some of the other reasons;

  • Frequent travel opportunities,
  • Opportunity to meet new cultures and people,
  • Opportunity to benefit from discounted flights,
  • Not likely to bring work home.

ICAO PART-MED specifies the validity periods for health certificates. In health certificate revalidation examinations, however, not all tests are repeated. Because the tests performed as part of the Health Certificate Examination have varying validity periods. The following are the validity periods for tests done within the scope of Medical Class 1 and Medical Class 2:

Validity Periods of Medical Class 1 Tests;

  • Audiometry: 5 years under 40 - 2 years over 40 years old
  • Visual Field: 5 years under 40 - 2 years over 40 years old
  • ECG: 30 yaş 5 yıl - 30/39 yaş 2 yıl - 40/49 yaş 1 yıl - 50 yaş üstü 6 ay
  • Pulmonary Function Test: Every 4 years
  • Lung X-ray: Every 4 years

Validity Periods of Medical Class 2 Tests;

  • Audiometry: First examination - 5 years under 40 years old - 2 years over 40 years old
  • Visual Field: If necessary after the first examination
  • ECG: 40/49 years 2 years - 50 years and above 1 year
  • Pulmonary Function Test: Every 4 years over the age of 40
  • Lung X-ray: Every 4 years over the age of 40

ICAO PART-MED specifies the validity periods for health certificates. The Medical Class 1 health certificate has a different validity duration depending on the pilots' age. For pilots working in dual-pilot aircraft, it is limited to one year for those under the age of 60 and six months for those over 60. It is limited to 1 year for pilots under the age of 40 and 6 months for pilots over the age of 40 who work in single-pilot aircraft.

ICAO PART-MED specifies the validity periods for health certificates. The Medical Class 2 health certificate has a different validity duration depending on the pilots' age. While this time is five years for those under 40, it is two years for those 40-50, and one year for those over 50.

Choosing a flight school is one of the most challenging decisions to make when you decide to take flight training. When choosing a flight school, don't just look at the price; look at the quality and content of the training as well. First and foremost, you should analyze the reviews of cadets who have previously completed training at the flight school you intend to attend. The scope of flight training programs should then be evaluated. Because of the marketing strategy, some parts of the training are sometimes reflected as hidden costs. An additional fee is required for a check ride flight, and an additional fee is charged for training equipment, for example.

First and foremost, your ability to utilize English successfully is assessed in the ICAO Level exam. However, because some of the questions are about aircraft, a basic understanding of aviation is essential. As a result, taking the ICAO Level exam after some flying experience will be beneficial.

In the aviation industry, English is widely accepted as the main communication language. Pilots and air traffic controllers must have a specific level of English, according to the standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization Document 9835. Pilots and air controllers must have a minimum of ICAO Level 4 English proficiency to fulfill their jobs, and the ICAO Level exam has a grade rating of 1-6.

Your ICAO Level 4 grade is valid for four years. For ICAO Level 5, the time is 5 years, and for ICAO Level 6, the term is unlimited.

The ICAO Level exam is usually divided into three sections. The first section assesses your basic English speaking and listening skills by asking questions such as basic acquaintance, aviation experience, and why you want to be a pilot. This portion begins as soon as you go into the exam room and introduce yourself. Two radio recordings are played in the second section to put your listening abilities to the test. ATIS is one of them, and you might get inquiries concerning QNH, Transition Level, and Wind from this section. Another common topic on the radio is an emergency. Questions about the event and the decision will be asked here. In the final section, you will be given one or two photographs related to aviation and asked to describe what you observe. The most crucial thing is to tell the story in the correct order.

 

It is sufficient to have a high school diploma to work as a commercial pilot or to hold a private pilot certificate that meets international requirements. Companies in the industry, on the other hand, often require a bachelor's degree. As a result, in order to compete on an equal footing with your peers, you must be a university graduate. You must also have an excellent command of the English language. Finally, you must receive a Medical Class 1 or Class 2 health certificate from a health institution certified by the DGCA in line with the requirements of your program in order to participate in the training and obtain a pilot license.
