Get Into Flying

Cancelled loans, couch-surfing and camping stores. Read about Jack’s journey to the cockpit, and how carefully you might need to consider the risks and rewards of a flying career. getintoflying.com/flying-trainin…

More thoughts on this coming soon. Could the wind be changing for prospective helicopter pilots as @bristowgroup offer a fully sponsored SAR pilot cadet programme in the U.K.?

We are delighted to be offering the following flights this summer! They are for aspiring pilots of both genders aged 14 and above with no upper age limit. Keep an eye on our social media and website next week for details and how to apply!

Experience the joy of flight with us! We will soon be launching taster flights and 737 sim flights for aspiring pilots of both genders aged 14 and above & no upper age limit. Details coming soon! @BWPA_UK @Flyer_Magazine

@CWhittingtonRN @SouthernFairy16 If I could speak to the licensing officer I’m sure that would be the case. Alas, they do not speak to the public.

@GetIntoFlying @SouthernFairy16 I do! It’s a shame they’re being awkward. I’ve found in most cases once you wade through the bureaucracy the individuals can be quite helpful.

The @UK_CAA licensing officer is demanding to see a logbook cover sheet to verify a license application. My military log book does not have a cover sheet and neither the examiner nor the pre-screening officer knows what a cover sheet is. 🙄

@SouthernFairy16 Would be awesome if there was a process that actually matched the requirement. To the casual observer it looks a lot like incompetence!

@CWhittingtonRN @Beechcraft

@GetIntoFlying @Beechcraft Hired one from the midlands years ago, can’t remember the name of the airfield though which doesn’t help! Cheers dits…

Does anybody in the U.K. know of a @Beechcraft Bonanza available for dry hire for filming? By far the best platform for it but we can’t seem to find one. G reg preferred!

@MandyHickson You’ll be alright

Give me your best….

How can you tell @TomCruise is a true aviator? Lands in a family garden and takes the kids flying in his Squirrel helicopter. No better buzz than introducing flying to people - hopefully they’ll be inspired. google.co.uk/amp/s/www.mirr…

@AOC22Group It’s great to see someone who has spent their career in aviation and is now setting the ethos of the next generation, who still gets that buzz. So important.

@p1geon_rl @MSFSofficial That is awesome, great work dude!

@MSFSofficial 1 Year since I bought the game. Went from being interested to flying to my house. To an Instrument Rated Pilot working on his commercial license. TY Asobo and Microsoft, truly lifechanging

It's the one year anniversary of #MicrosoftFlightSimulator launching on PC! The team is hard at work on the next update, but we'll be celebrating properly with multiple events from Sep. 6-10. To our players, thank you for a great Year 1. We can't wait for what Year 2 will bring.

@dragongirl94 Fantastic news Ellie, well done. Ad Astra!

After a week of sadness & much worrying about grades, I just found out that I got my place at my chosen university to study #astronautics #aeronautics. Although tinged with sadness for those who didn't, or who never got to find out. #alevels2021

@AbbigaleAustin Please do! The world is going to need more pilots as travel unlocks again!

@GetIntoFlying I’ll do exactly that, applied for about 6 so far by haven’t been lucky this time but will keep going :)

How did my fellow atpl pilots afford their training if you didn’t have parents help? Quoted for my MEIR and it’s just almost impossible for me to afford, even with a loan. Making me feel somewhat hopeless as I don’t want my exams to lapse. My circumstances have changed sadly.

@clearofcloud That one tweet made a lot of the last couple of years of running this project worth it. Thank you!

@GetIntoFlying I needed to hear this story today. #KeepGoing

Always thought flying warbirds is cool but there’s no way in? Here’s how Tim Granshaw went from the Control Tower to the cockpit of a Spitfire. getintoflying.com/how-to-become-…
