PPL 300NM XC flight Europe

Hi all,

I am planning to do my PPL cross country in Europe and wonder if I can do international flight as a student pilot within EASA airspace. My plan is to boost my experience do more international flights rather than only domestic flights which might would make my pilot CV looks better when later on I apply for airline jobs. How do you think?

Why do you want to do a 300NM cross country for your PPL? If you want to make your CV stand out print it on pink paper.

My bad it is for CPL after my PPL is done.

Regarding your comment with all due respect, I guess you’ve been beaten up too many times as a child thats why you talk like this. If you have no comments which can contribute one’s question why you even bother or try to find the mistakes of people? You might have better knowledge of aviation than me and can bully but probably you would be bullied in a pub if we ever meet. Go try to talk to your wife (of course if you even had a woman in your life) or I can wire you some money you can call someone who care about your BS comments.

Take a chill pill. In all honesty though, hardly anyone is going to be interested where you did your CPL QXC, as it’s merely a requirement for license issue. Granted, it would be a great experience for you as a pilot, but don’t bank on getting a job purely because of that. Rather focus on your ATPL exams and your CPL/IR.

The airlines are more interested in you as a person and your aptitude. Although your outburst in response to a simple bit of sarcasm is worrying.

Thanks a lot for sharing. That is something helps me bring the best out of my training. I will do my best to focus also on exams and IR rating. Do airlines consider the pass scores of the ATPL exams strictly?

For a first job, yes. Afterwards no one cares about the ATPLs. It's simply a filter to weed out less motivated folk at the beginning. That's why a higher average score will stand out more on your CV, than your 300nm bash in EU airspace.

If you talk to people like this you'll have a very short stay on Pprune; I think it only fair to tell you that I've reported your post. If you can keep your anger in check and take the time to engage you'll find that we're all here to help.

Yeah, your comeback does make you sound a numpty.. EASA airspace is the same by definition, so nobody cares. Do whats needed as cheaply as possible that ticks the box for CPL requirements and focus on whats important.. like not failing your CPL skilltest
