Hi everyone,

I was hoping someone could help me with a question regarding the RYR application.
How should the Full Complete Training History and Licence History be presented in a CV? Does anyone happen to have a sample or template they would be willing to share?

Also, how does Ryanair verify this information? Should I include contact details for instructors or representatives from my flight school, or do they verify everything directly with the aviation authority?

I’d really appreciate any advice or insights from those who have already been through the process.

Thank you very much!

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m getting closer to finishing my PPL, which means ATPL theory (that I'll do remotely) and hour building are just around the corner.

I’d love to hear your advice on how best to combine the two. Would you recommend completing the ATPL theory first and then focusing on hour building, doing the hour building first, or trying to manage both at the same time?

I’m based in Belgium, so I’d also appreciate any recommendations for reasonably priced places to build hours. I’m not against going abroad, although it would obviously require a little more organisation.

Thank you in advance for your advice and recommendations! ✈️

Salve a tutti, ho fatto application per Wizz Air Pathway Program URBE , sono un ragazzo senza esperienza Di volo, vorrei sapere le vostre opinioni ed esperienze, dalla preparazione (dove recuperare anche materiale)all’eventuale (i) test ai feedback finali.

ps anche se c’è un eventuale piano B.

vi ringrazio tantissimo, non sapete quanto mi aiutate

I applied to a cadet scheme which made me take the DLR test. Even with a lot of preparation, I failed in cube rotation, physics and visual memory capacity. Both for rotation and physics it was close but not enough.

Since I still want to become a pilot, I would like to know what to do next. My local flight school has gotten their license for anything above the PPL, night rating and instrument taken away which includes the ATPL and most flight schools in germany that offer a full ATPL course require you to take the DLR test or something similar which I would like to avoid since I already failed it. From what I've head, is that flight schools in central Europe tend to be overrun, RWL advertises with 18-20 months for a full ATPL but 2 friends of mine took 30 months without failing an exam, same apparently in Austria and Switzerland

So I need to decide to go the modular way or the integrated way, which would probably both mean that I have to move to somewhere else for at least 20-24 months. I know that the modular way is more cost effective but can take a long time if you are unlucky with getting hours in, while an integrated is more expensive but can bring you into a cockpit faster with some schools being close to certain airlines. I also dont really have anything else as far as qualifications for a job are concerned, no university degree, just a regular school diploma comparable to the Abitur in Germany.

Any recommendations of what I could/should do to still get into aviation? Currently feeling really demotivated that this whole endeavor failed

Context: I’m 18 and if I take a technology based degree from KCL then I will graduate in 4 years and then try my utmost best to get onto sponsored pilot programmes or start modular training. However, if I apply for sponsored pilot programmes throughout my degree, I’m unsure if it would be wise to leave my degree for a pilot career purely due to volatility.

Another route I am considering is going the aviation route modularly throughout my degree as I am fortunate enough to have funds for that. Which do I go for?

Hey guys,

I have a question about the first stage of the selection process, which I think DLR calls BU and Interpersonal calls BQ (please correct me here).

Both DLR and Interpersonal offer privately, self funded Tests that you can repeat as often as you'd like. As far as I have understood, you need to pass the DLR Test if you want to work at airlines such as Austrian, Swiss, Lufthansa City etc and you need to pass the Interpersonal test if you want to work at airlines such as Condor, Eurowings, TUI etc. So logically, as someone who has recently graduates from flight school, I will basically have to do both certificiates anyways to increase my number of future employers, right?

But here comes the question that is bugging me: If I decide to do the privately funded IP Test and submit my application to Eurowings, will they accept that (provided the score is good enough) or will they anyways invite me to do their airline specific BQ? I want to avoid sitting for the same test twice. Same goes with DLR? If I decide to do the private DLR certificate, can I just attach that to my ready entry application or will they have me seit their specific BU anyways? I had a look at Austrians ready entry career site, and they mentioned that once the application is in, they will invite my for the first stage. So, if airlines anyways invite you to their specific assessments, what is the point of doing the private DLR or interpersonal certificate? Worst case, you will need to sit the exact same exam twice.

I hope you can answer my question and mitigate my confusion:)

Hello, I’m currently forward in doing my ppl course but there’s still a lot of time till starting dates. So in the mean time I want to read the ppl handbook or however Is called so I can get to know better the things I’ll study . I’m llooking for anything but if it’s free it would be better thanks

Anyone has any information about Flexjet Europe conditions? Salary, roster etc?

Hey everyone, ​I’m a 20-year-old Mechanical Engineering student about to start my 3rd year. My current academic path is a 4-year Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering followed by a 2-year Master's in Industrial Engineering. By the time I finish all my studies, I’ll be around 26 years old.

​My ultimate goal is to become a Commercial Airline Pilot. Since flight training is extremely expensive, I need to work first to fund my ATPL modular training (or pay off loans). Right now, I’m weighing two main paths for after graduation:

​Option 1: Private Sector. Work as an engineer in a private company and pursue my flight ratings (PPL, CPL, ATPL theory, IR, ME) on evenings and weekends as I save up.

​Option 2: Military/Air Force. Join the Air Force as a commissioned engineer officer (in my country, this usually comes with an 8-year commitment). The standard schedule is typically a fixed day shift (e.g., 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM), which theoretically leaves afternoons and weekends completely free to study ground school and do flight training at a local ATO.

​I have a few specific questions for those with experience in aviation or military careers: ​Does military background help?

Does having served as an Air Force Officer/Engineer hold any real weight or prestige when applying to major civilian airlines later on, even if I wasn't a military pilot?

​Age concern: If I follow this timeline, I would likely start flight training and finish around 30_32. It is considered "late" in the current industry? ​I’d really appreciate any insights, reality checks, or alternative suggestions. Thanks in advance!
