Didn’t complete flight training. Jobs?
 

Hi
I have passed my ATPL theory and completed my Solo. But I did not complete my flight training.
iam was wondering if there’s some jobs I can qualify for, it can also be a side job.

Didn't or haven't?

didnt finish

You've done the hardest bit, any reason why not?

I had some problems with the school and how they were treating me and the lack of progress I gained.
So the end result was that they terminated me 1,5 phase before the completion of the studies.
I am going to study, so though of maybe I could work with something I qualify for in the meantime.

Can you get credit for hours already done / theory exams and continue modular

Assume you are integrated yes, any feedback why they terminated you?

Is a big advantage of Modular, disagreement with a flight school you can transfer, no ties :)

I have the credit for the theory and the solo flight only, the rest I don’t have. But I think I will only do the ppl in the future. So iam starting new studies now August 2021

Don't let them take you down ! You can transfer the credits to another school .


Good luck !

So ATPLs done - what else do you have? How many hours, any licence etc...

Thank YOu! But how I got treated by the school and stuff like that. They really destroyed the pilot dream.
so I don’t want to spend even more money on this. Thinking of completing the PPL after a while.
but now I have to focus on getting a education, thinking of computer engineering or maybe a sort of economy major. Still figuring stuff out, as this just happend 10.02.21. But I need to pay down the loan I now have because of the school, while I study. So not sure what I should work as a side job

83hrs. And ATPL and solo. That’s it

Ok, with 83 hours you're 41.5% of the way to a fATPL.
You've done the hard part: passing the exams. So don't waste them. You have 36 months from your last exam pass to get the flight training done, which is plenty of time. The first thing you booked to do is go to a flight school and see what you need to get your PPL, I'm guessing just a couple of flights and a test but you never know with EASA/CAA - they might make you do it all again. In that case I'd recommend (waiting until covid is over) then booking a 2 week trip to Florida and getting an FAA PPL instead. The FAA will recognise ALL previous flight time. After that, it's just a case of getting a SEIR via the CBIR route, then a SE CPL. That'll save your exams until the job market recovers at minimal expense.

Reading this made me realise how much training is in need of modernisation.

Certainly with respect to people who have to stop before the end. Surely it wouldn't be hard to write an integrated course to at least include a PPL?
It just takes a common sense decision to allow the PPL test to be taken. That is after all the important bit.
In fact, other than solo time, why should hours matter at all? Some people take 60 hours to get a PPL, some take 70. But if someone has been flying gliders and simulators for years and they are good enough after 20 hours - why shouldn't they be allowed to take the test?

I was in the same situation once, and I thank fate for it. This period of my life made me understand what is necessary for me. Perhaps you also need to rethink your priorities, and your life decided to set a challenge to you. I had always been interested in space exploration and decided to retrain to become an astronomer. Don't think that I try to change your mind; I just want to support you. In case you understand that being a pilot is your dream, don't give up and continue studying, perhaps, in another school.

Do you really think it’s worth it? I really appreciate this respond of your, as it has some guidance to it.
I started flight training as a 18 year old, I was the youngest in the school and the youngest to complete my solo flight. The school even used me endless time for commercial and recruitment.
but one time they didn’t pass me a test, because i was too young, and I should have more experience than my classmates, because of the age difference...

believe me when I say, the treatment and stuff were :mad:. I have a lawyer on the case now. And when the day comes, I will write down the summary of the treatment, and what my lawyer and I got in return.

Thank YOu for your respons, I have thought about this situation, and perhaps this will be a life lesson. I think now of Computer engineering masters degree, and thereafter take my MBA and work as a project leader within the IT world.

It's up to you . I can tell you my story I has issues with my flight school and they tried to bring me down times and had failed one CPL skills test and for me it felt like the end of the world for me . I changed school and felt a lot better and my performance was good . Maybe you feel like giving up because you don't have enough life experience and trust me on this . I suggest to take a short break and think about it again . Good luck !

thank you!

Much much much better idea.

Do I think it's worth it? Well I get paid to fly airliners, so yes! The question is do you want to be a pilot or not?
It seems to me that it's a tremendous waste of your time to pass the ATPL exams and then just watch them expire. They are the hardest part - most people can't wait to get them done. The flying might be the expensive bit, but it's also the easy bit and the fun bit.
