EASA ATPL Exams: VFR communications, Air Law, M&B, Operational Procedures, General Navigation
The most difficult subjects for me in the EASA ATPL theory course were Air Law, Operational Procedures ΠΈ General Navigation. Meteorology is also rather challenging, but much more interesting. I don’t know what was in my mind when I booked the exam slots, but I have all these three in my current session. Today I…

EASA ATPL Exams: IFR Communications
I started taking my EASA exams in the Czech CAA. Public transportation is very convenient in Prague, so it is not necessary to rent a car here. The CAA is located near the airport terminal 3. I am getting used to this building π It is still impossible to pay by card, only cash is…

EASA ATPL Exams
I finally decided where I am going to take my EASA ATPL exams. I am going to Prague, Czech Republic. I’ve chosen Prague mainly because of the following reasons: they have a great online booking system, I already have my PPL there, and I am going to get my CPL there. The application was easy,…

At the Controls Again
It’s been quite a long time I did not fly: my previous flight was in Warsaw in October. I was studying ATPL subjects since then and did not practise at all. Today I made a flight to renew my SEP (Single Engine Piston) VFR rating. We used Cessna 152, and I remembered the feeling of…

ATPL Theory is done
Finally the EASA ATPL theoretical course is done and I got a certificate of completion. I can take exams in the CAA with this document. The course was really tough. 4 months is definitely not enough without any prior knowledge, but even with some preparation it’s challenging. I took tests every day except Mondays, and…

ATPL Theory
It’s been a while I did not make an update, but I am still on the way to my first pilot job. From January 2019 I am studying EASA ATPL theory subjects in a Polish flight school. Actually the online part is already finished (in April 2019), and it was very tough: you really need…

ATPL – Operational Procedures
As I’ve already mentioned, I enrolled into the online EASA ATPL theory course from a Polish flight school (Ventum Air). The course duration is 4 months, and the schedule is very tough since I have to learn 14 subjects. I have some prior knowledge – not sure whether it is even possible without it. After…

EASA ATPL Theory
The blog is still alive, and the dream is coming true somehow. I haven’t flown more than 2 months, but I subscribed for a theory course in a Polish flight school. It is an online ATPL course with 2 weeks on-site. So, why Poland? The country is close to Russia, and the price is not…

Job Search
More than a year passed since I started searching a good flight school. I started with Europe (and finally got my PPL), then obtained a FAA CPL in the US. It required a lot of effort, I checked out tons of information. Generally I suppose that I made a right decision. Now I understand that…

Free Flight
The blog is still alive, as like the idea π Last week I traveled to Prague. It was not related to my aviation progress, but I did not want to miss the opportunity to fly while being in Europe, so I tried to find an airplane. Unfortunately I had a very tight schedule, and it…
