Just curious...anyone here a pilot? Commercial or private.
Thinking of getting a private pilot license for a bit of fun (yes I just watched Top Gun: Maverick
, different level though, somehow flying a single engine aircraft inverted doesn't feel like the greatest of ideas). Where I'm based now (south east asia) I've looked at the pathway, looks straightforward enough, I'm interested in the learning process for anyone here who went through it or does it for a living now, time it took to confidently take off and land on single engine aircrafts, getting comfortable with the controls etc.
So far I've got a couple of hours on a flight simulator and have watched youtube vids on how the surfaces...rudder, aileron, elevator, and then flaps work, operating them. Clearly well on my way haha.
