Q. Before arriving at Flying Academy, what were my concerns and fears?
Gustavo: After talking it with my family and once it became a fact that I was going to study in a school in the United States, my main fears naturally were, the language and the fact that I did not know anyone in the city. As expected, when I arrived for the first time I felt melancholy and a little scared, because in the end, I was in a foreign country, away from my family and friends, and without knowing for sure what it was waiting for me. Despite feeling enthusiastic about the fact that I was going to learn to fly, it was impossible for me not to feel uncertainty, mixed feelings and why not, a little panic.

Q. What were your expectations about Flying Academy, and were those exceeded or not?
Gustavo: To tell the truth, my first expectations were very simple; learn to fly, get my commercial license and return to Mexico to find work. However, what I had to live was incredibly special, because not only did I achieve what I expected, but it also brought me a collection of memories and adventures that will always live inside me. Flying Academy was not only an aviation school for me, but it was also a life camp. Thanks to its international program, I was able to meet people from literally around the world. People who shared a taste for aviation and who came just like me, without knowing anyone and wanting to live a new experience. For the same reason, it did not take more than three days to find a new family in a foreign country. So yes, my expectations were exceeded and by far.
Q. How was your process in Flying Academy, did you like it, was it easy?
Gustavo: My passing through Flying Academy was a life adventure. Everything that I had to live helped me to break schemes and to improve myself as I had never done before. From overcoming the traditional language barrier to being independent in every way, from learning to land an airplane to do a solo cross – country. From something so scary as to how to do a check ride with an FAA examiner to something as rewarding as having a beer and eating a good burger after a long day of study. Flying Academy was a place that opened the doors to a new world and with the help of each one of its instructors and staff members, they helped me to be a better pilot. Did I like? I loved it.It was easy? Definitely not. It was not easy, but it was worth one hundred percent. And in fact, it was because it was not easy, that I learned everything I learned. Nothing worthwhile comes easily.

Q. What did you like most about Flying Academy?
Gustavo: There were several things that I take from my stay at Flying Academy. First of all, the fact that I learned to do something I love; FLY. Second, the opportunities that the school gave me to make my schedule in my own way and how much they helped me to achieve my goals. Thanks to the flexibility they offered me, I was able to finish the program from zero to commercial with multi-engine in 10 months. Third, the friendships I did. I can say without the slightest fear of being wrong, that while I was in Miami, I never felt lonely, sad or eager to return to my home. Quite the opposite. I lived the experience as best as I could and managed to return to Mexico with my head held high and proud of my achievements.
Q. How was the process of validation in Mexico?
Gustavo: Tedious. However, that is just a bad thing that afflicts the institutions of my country and is the same for everyone. In Mexico, you can take longer to validate than you take to finish the training. However, I would not change my experience at Flying Academy for anything in the world, so if I had to choose again, I would choose to study a thousand times in the United States.
Q. How was the transition to an airline?
Gustavo: Maybe the most challenging thing I’ve done in my life. No doubt flying a commercial airplane on an airline like Interjet is challenging but simply rewarding. The admission process was long (it took around 5 months) but it was worth every minute of waiting. I had the opportunity to take the training of the Sukhoi Superjet 100, a Russian production plane that is simply beautiful. I am currently flying that plane and I could not be more grateful to have the opportunity to fly it. My father has always told me that “an airplane is an airplane and flying is flying. An aviator makes his path flying, and the more planes he or she fly, the better he/she become” For this reason, I am very grateful for the blessing of having a job, the most beautiful work, and being able to enjoy it flight by flight.

Q. Would you recommend Flying Academy as the first option?
Gustavo: Definitely yes! As I mentioned earlier, Flying Academy helped me develop the skills I needed to achieve my entry into the world of work. The medium of aviation is fantastic because it is fun and challenging at the same time. Each flight is different, regardless of whether you have done it before. You have to study a lot, but it’s worth it when you get to sit in a jet cabin more than thirty thousand feet high. In my opinion, Flying Academy has all the means to help future pilots develop fully in this aviation world. Both for the quality of its instructors, its facilities, the airport in which they are located (KTMB), the internationality of their students, the warmth of their staff and above all, the confidence they make you feel when you fly.

https://flyingacademy.com/es/pilot-training/ab-initio-faa/faa-0-cpl/
P. Antes de llegar a Flying Academy, ¿cuáles eran mis miedos y temores?
Gustavo: Después de hablarlo con mi familia y una vez que se volviera un hecho que iba a estudiar en una escuela en los Estados Unidos, mis principales miedos eran naturalmente, el idioma y el hecho de que no conocía a nadie en la ciudad. Como es de esperarse, cuando llegué por primera vez me sentí melancólico y un poco asustado, pues al final de cuentas estaba en un país ajeno, alejado de mi familia y amigos, y sin saber a ciencia cierta qué era lo que me iba a esperar. A pesar de sentir entusiasmo por el hecho de que iba a aprender a volar, era imposible para mí no sentir incertidumbre, sentimientos encontrados y por qué no, un poco de pánico.

P. ¿Cuáles eran tus expectativas de Flying Academy, y si estas se superaron o no?
Gustavo: A decir verdad, mis primeras expectativas eran muy simples; aprender a volar, sacar mi licencia comercial y regresar a México a buscar trabajo. Sin embargo, lo que me tocó vivir fue increíblemente especial, pues no sólo logré lo que esperaba, sino que me llevé una colección de memorias y aventuras que siempre me van a acompañar. Flying Academy no sólo fue una escuela de aviación para mí, fue un campamento de vida. Gracias a su programa internacional, pude conocer gente de literalmente todo el mundo. Personas que compartían el gusto por la aviación y que venían justo igual que yo, sin conocer a nadie y con ganas de vivir una nueva experiencia. Por la misma razón, no tarde más de tres días en encontrar una nueva familia en un país ajeno. Así que sí, mis expectativas fueron superadas y por mucho.
P. ¿Cómo fue tu paso por Flying Academy, te gustó, fue fácil?
Gustavo: Mi paso por la Flying Academy fue literalmente una aventura de vida. Todo lo que me tocó vivir me ayudó a romper esquemas y a superarme como nunca antes lo había hecho. Desde superar la tradicional barrera del idioma, hasta ser independiente en todos los sentidos, desde aprender a aterrizar un avión hasta hacer un cross-country solo. Desde algo tan atemorizante cómo hacer un check-ride con un examinador de la FAA hasta algo tan gratificante como tomar una cerveza y comer una buena hamburguesa después de un día largo de trabajo. Flying Academy fue un lugar que me abrió las puertas a un nuevo mundo y con la ayuda de cada uno de sus instructores y miembros del staff me ayudaron a ser un mejor piloto.
¿Me gustó? La verdad me encantó.
¿Fue fácil? Definitivamente no. NO fue fácil, pero valió la pena al cien por ciento. Y de hecho, fue gracias a que no fue fácil, que aprendí todo lo que aprendí. Pues nada que valga la pena llega de manera sencilla.

P. ¿Qué fue lo que más te gustó de Flying Academy?
Gustavo: Fueron varias cosas que me llevo de mi estancia en Flying Academy. Primero que nada, el hecho de que aprendí a hacer algo que amo; volar. Segundo, las facilidades que me dio la escuela para hacer mi horario a mi manera y lo mucho que me ayudaron a lograr mis objetivos. Gracias a la flexibilidad que me ofrecieron, pude acabar el programa de cero a comercial con multi-engine en 10 meses. En tercer lugar, las amistades que pude hacer. Puedo decir sin el menor temor a equivocarme, que mientras estuve en Miami, nunca me sentí solo, triste o deseoso de regresarme a mi casa. Todo lo contrario. Viví la experiencia lo mejor que pude y logré regresar a México con la frente en alto y orgulloso de mis logros.
P.  ¿Cómo fue el proceso de convalidación en México?
Gustavo: Tedioso. Sin embargo, eso es un mal que aqueja a las instituciones de mi país y es pareja para todos. En México puedes tardarte más en convalidar de lo que te tardas en acabar la carrera. Sin embargo, no cambiaría por nada del mundo mi experiencia en Flying Academy, así que si tuviera que volver a elegir, volvería a elegir mil veces el estudiar en Estados Unidos.
P. ¿Cómo fue la transición a una aerolínea?
Gustavo: Tal vez lo más desafiante que he hecho en mi vida. Sin duda volar un avión comercial en una aerolínea como Interjet es desafiante, pero sencillamente gratificante. El proceso de admisión fue largo (tardó alrededor de 5 meses) pero valió cada minuto de espera. Tuve la oportunidad de tomar el adiestramiento del Sukhoi Superjet 100, un avión de producción rusa que es sencillamente hermoso. Actualmente vuelo dicho avión y no podría estar más agradecido de poder tener la oportunidad de volarlo. Mi padre siempre me ha dicho que “avión es avión y volar es volar. Un aviador se hace volando, y entre más aviones vueles siempre es mejor”
Por ello, agradezco mucho la bendición de tener trabajo, el más bello trabajo, y de poder disfrutarlo vuelo a vuelo.

P. ¿Recomendarías Flying Academy como primera opción?
Gustavo: ¡Definitivamente si!
Como lo mencioné anteriormente, Flying Academy me ayudó a desarrollar las habilidades que necesité para lograr mi ingreso al mundo laboral. El medio de la aviación es fantástico pues es divertido y desafiante al mismo tiempo. Cada vuelo es distinto, independientemente de que ya lo hayas hecho con anterioridad. Hay que estudiar mucho, pero vale la pena cuando uno logra sentarse en una cabina de jet a más de treinta mil pies de altura.
En mi opinión, Flying Academy cuenta con todos los medios para ayudar a los futuros pilotos a desarrollarse plenamente en este mundo laboral. Tanto por la calidad de sus instructores, sus instalaciones, el aeropuerto en el que están situados (KTMB), lo internacional que son sus estudiantes, la calidez de su staff y sobretodo, por la confianza que te hacen sentir cuando vuelas.

 [:tr]Bugünlerde Interjet’te Yardımcı Pilot olarak görev yapan eski öğrencilerimizden Meksika’lı Gustavo Angeles ile röportaj yapma fırsatı bulduk. Bizimle, okulumuzda almış olduğu eğitim hakkındaki  deneyimlerini paylaştı.
https://flyingacademy.com/pilot-training/ab-initio-faa/faa-0-cpl/
Flying Academy’ye gelmeden önce endişelerin ve korkuların nelerdi?
Gustavo: Ailemle konuştuktan sonra, Birleşik Devletler’deki bir okulda okuyacağıma karar verdik, temel korkularım doğal olarak, dil ve şehirde kimseyi tanımadığım gerçeği oldu. Beklendiği gibi, ilk kez geldiğimde melankolik ve biraz korkmuş hissettim, çünkü sonuç olarak yabancı bir ülkedeydim, ailemden ve arkadaşlarımdan uzaktaydım ve beni neyin beklediğini bilmiyordum. Uçmayı öğreneceğim konusunda hevesli olmama rağmen, belirsizlik hissetmemek, karışık duygular içerisinde olmamak ve biraz paniklememek imkansızdı.

Flying Academy ile ilgili beklentilerin nelerdi ve bu beklentiler karşılandı mı?
Gustavo: Doğruyu söylemek gerekirse başlangıçtaki beklentilerim çok basitti; uçmayı öğrenmek, ticari lisansımı almak ve Meksika’ya dönüp iş bulmak. Ancak yaşadığım şey inanılmaz derecede özeldi, çünkü yalnızca beklentilerime ulaşmakla kalmadım, aynı zamanda her zaman içimde saklayacağım anılar ve maceralar biriktirdim. Flying Academy benim için sadece bir havacılık okulu değil, aynı zamanda bir yaşam kampıydı. Uluslararası programları sayesinde dünyanın her yerinden gelen insanlarla tanışma fırsatı yakaladım. Havacılık zevkini paylaşan ve ayrıca tıpkı benim gibi, kimseyi tanımadan ve yeni bir deneyim elde etmek isteyen kişiler. Aynı nedenlerden dolayı, yabancı bir ülkede yeni bir aile bulmak üç günden fazla sürmedi. Yani evet, beklentilerim fazlasıyla karşılandı.
Flying Academy’deki sürecin nasıldı, hoşuna gitti mi, kolay mıydı?
Gustavo: Flying Academy benim için bir hayat macerasıydı. Yaşamak zorunda olduğum her şey, daha önce hiç yapmadığım şekilde planları bozmamda ve kendimi geliştirmemde bana yardımcı oldu; geleneksel dil engelini aşmaktan, her yönden bağımsız olmaya, uçağı nasıl indireceğimi öğrenmekten solo seyrüsefer yapmaya, FAA kontrolörü ile pratik sınav yapmak kadar korkunç bir şeyden, uzun bir çalışma gününün ardından ödül olarak bira içip iyi bir burger yemeye ve daha bir çok şey. Flying Academy, kapılarını yeni bir dünyaya açan bir yer, eğitmenlerinin ve çalışanlarının her birinin yardımı daha iyi bir pilot olmamı sağladı.
Beğendim mi? Evet beğendim.
Kolay mıydı? Kesinlikle hayır. Kolay değildi, ama yüzde yüz denemeye değerdi. Aslında, kolay olmadığı için öğrendiğim her şeyi öğrendim. Zaman harcamaya değer şeyler kolaylıkla gelmez.

Flying Academy hakkında en çok neyi beğendin?
Gustavo: Flying Academy’de eğitimim sırasında beğendiğim birkaç şey vardı. Her şeyden önce sevdiğim bir şeyi yapmayı öğrendim; UÇMAK. İkincisi, okulun programımı kendime göre ayarlamam için bana sunduğu fırsatlar ve hedeflerime ulaşmamda bana ne kadar yardımcı oldukları. Bana sundukları esneklik sayesinde, eğitimimi sıfırdan başlayıp 10 ay içerisinde    çok motor dahil ticari pilot lisansımı alarak tamamladım. Üçüncüsü, yeni arkadaşlıklar kurdum. En ufak bir yanlışlık korkusu duymadan söyleyebilirim ki, Miami’deyken evime dönmek için asla yalnız, üzgün ya da istekli hissetmemiştim, tam tersine her zaman mutluydum. Bu deneyimi mümkün olan en iyi şekilde yaşadım ve başımı yüksek tutup yaptıklarımla gurur duyarak Meksika’ya dönmeyi başardım.
Meksika’da lisansının kabul süreci nasıldı?
Gustavo: Usandırıcı. Ancak bu, ülkemdeki kurumlarda olan kötü bir şey ve herkes için aynı. Meksika’da, lisansınızı kabul ettirmek için harcadığınız zaman eğitimi bitirmek için harcadığınızdan daha fazla zaman alabilir. Bununla birlikte, Flying Academy’deki deneyimimi dünyadaki hiçbir şeye değişmem, tekrar bir seçim yapmak zorunda olsaydım, bin kez olsa da Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde eğitim almayı tercih ederdim.
Havayoluna geçiş nasıldı?
Gustavo: Belki de hayatımda yaptığım en zor şeydi. Kuşkusuz Interjet gibi bir havayolunda ticari bir uçağı uçurmak zordur, ama sonunda ödüllendiricidir. Kabul süreci uzundu (yaklaşık 5 ay sürdü) ancak beklemenin her dakikasına değerdi. Mükemmel bir Rus üretimi olan Sukhoi Superjet 100’ün eğitimini alma fırsatım oldu. Şu anda bu uçağı uçuruyorum ve uçma fırsatına sahip olduğum için daima minnettarım. Babam bana her zaman; “bir uçak uçaktır ve uçmak uçmaktır. Bir havacı kendi yolunu çizer ve ne kadar fazla uçakla uçarsa o kadar iyi olur.” derdi. Bu nedenle, bir iş sahibi olmanın, en güzel işi yapmanın ve yaptığın işin tadını çıkarmanın zevkine vardığım için müteşekkirim.

Flying Academy’yi ilk tercih olarak tavsiye eder misin?
Gustavo: Kesinlikle evet! Daha önce de belirttiğim gibi, Flying Academy havacılıkta bir iş sahibi olmam için gerekli bütün becerileri kazanmamda yardımcı oldu. Havacılık tam olarak fantastik bir şey çünkü hem eğlenceli ve hem de zorlu. Her uçuş, daha önce ne kadar uçarsanız uçun farklıdır. Çok çalışmak zorundasınız, fakat otuz bin fitin üzerindeki bir jetin kabininde oturduğunuzda buna değdiğini göreceksiniz. Bence, Flying Academy geleceğin pilotlarını havacılık dünyasına hazırlamak için gerekli donanıma sahip; hem eğitmenlerinin kalitesi, hem tesisleri, içinde bulundukları havaalanı (KTMB), uluslararası öğrenci ağı, çalışanlarının sıcaklığı ve hepsinden öte, uçarken hissettiğiniz güven.

El futuro de la aviación en Latinoamérica

[:en]Se necesitan el doble de aviones, y el triple de pilotos.
Boeing y Airbus las dos empresas pioneras en la producción de aviones comerciales pronostican que el mercado aéreo de Latinoamérica será uno de los que más crezca en los próximos 20 años.
Boeing prevé un total de 3.050 aviones nuevos, valorados en cerca de $350.000 millones de dólares, mientras que Airbus por su lado prevé un total de 2.540 aviones nuevos, valorados en $330.000 millones de dólares.

Para el 2034, dentro de 15 años, 9 de las 91 mega ciudades de la aviación estarán en América Latina.
Santiago de Chile (Chile)
Ciudad de México (México)
Cancún (México)
Ciudad de Panamá (Panamá)
Bogotá (Colombia)
Rio de Janeiro (Brasil)
Lima (Perú)
Se unirán a las ya existentes mega ciudades.
Sao Paulo (Brasil)
Buenos Aires (Argentina)


Según Airbus, el tráfico hacia, desde y dentro de Latinoamérica crecerá a una tasa anual del 4.7% en los próximos 20 años, ligeramente superior al 4.6% mundial. Los mercados intrarregionales y domestico son los principales segmentos que impulsaran el crecimiento del tráfico aéreo de la región, que prácticamente llegara a triplicarse en las dos próximas décadas, requiriendo así el triple de pilotos para volar el doble de aviones.
Si estas realizando un curso de piloto de avión o deseas iniciar tu entrenamiento debes saber que probablemente, América Latina sea uno de los destinos donde más vas a volar. [:es]Se necesitan el doble de aviones, y el triple de pilotos!

Where to study aviation? Colombia Vs. United States

[:en]Mathematics are a broad, exact and complex science. Do not be scared, the point in favour is that, although aviation is not a science that requires high levels of knowledge in mathematics if you need the basics and also at the time of choosing your academy will play a fundamental roll.
I chose to study aviation in the United States after investigating the subject for about a year, I visited airports in Colombia, schools, offices, I got on airplanes, and many times I wanted to fly in them, but even though I was in My land, “Where do I know all of them?”, I could not persuade any academy to take me on a flight as a passenger or on a reconnaissance flight at a reasonable price.
In the summer of 2018, my family scheduled a vacation to Miami and Orlando, for 15 days we enjoyed, we rested and then they returned to Colombia without me, how? That’s right, without me! When we arrived in Miami I decided to go to one of its 8 airports, I wanted to visit a school, see and experience what it would be like to study aviation here, I was not really prepared for what was coming, I was just going to find out, but as soon as I entered, I noticed the difference from one country to another, the attention, the facilities, the planes, the language (English of course), and I did not need to ask if I could fly on one of their planes that day, they They offered to take me as a passenger on a Diamond DA-40, a plane I had never heard before. With a certain fear, but with more emotion, a casual day turned out to be extraordinary with me in the air.

In the following days we left Miami for Orlando to enjoy its parks, attractions and shopping centers, but I was left with the thorn that flying here was really easy, I did not hesitate for more than 2 days to get closer to a new school in Orlando and again I found that Within 30 miles, I had again 8 other airports to go to, I chose one at random. Can you guess the result? It turns out flying again! Easy, this time a Piper PA-28.
I decided to stay 2 months, I visited too many cities, airports and schools here in Florida, my dream became studying aviation in the United States, I did not find any similarity in terms of language, study time, aeronautical infrastructure and aircraft maintenance, everything is totally different. Next, I will explain point by point better.
Language: It is not my first point by chance, it is the first point because if you want to be a pilot, not any pilot, a good one, with international opportunities, for no one is a secret that English is the means of aeronautical communication by definition. If the dream is to be an airline pilot and leave the country, English is the most effective tool. Thinking about it, why wait to graduate to find airlines rejection for the language? Is not it better to do it now? Receiving instruction in English?
Study Time: In Colombia, the aviation career takes approximately 2 years, while here in the United States the average is one year. Without going very far there are 2 reasons for this. 1. The number of airplanes that schools have and 2. The number of buts that schools in Colombia have to operate, schools obey Civil Aeronautics and like all government institutions in Colombia, they are not only slow, but also problematic.
Aeronautical infrastructure: I’m really impressed by the number of airports that are here in the USA, as I wrote at the beginning of the blog, there are 8 airports inside Miami and 8 inside Orlando respectively, without counting the private ones. There are so many airports here that it is difficult in an emergency not to have a place to land. Now let’s go to Colombia where by luck city there are 2 airports 3 by a lot, emergencies happen, and our “highways” are not too big to say and apart they have gaps, sorry! I had to say. If you have not come to the United States you have to come, Motorways of up to 8 lanes on one side and 8 lanes on the other.

Obviously with the airports come the planes, thousands of them and with them the opportunities!
Maintenance of airplanes: At this point he spoke of the United States, a meticulous maintenance is done every 100 hours of flight by law, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is very rigorous in everything. Because of this everyone complies with them, nobody wants to have problems with them, something that does not happen in Colombia, talk about Civil Aeronautics, is synonymous with delay, which should not be so and that sad the truth, between delay and delay , maintenance is declining.
Finally, what most interests us all, the biggest obstacle we have to study aviation: MONEY and you probably think that: if studying in Colombia is already expensive, to study in the United States you need a fortune, but NO, you need the same money as if you were going to study in Colombia!

The mathematics are exact, I already told you, if the price of studying aviation in Colombia or the United States is the same, what’s stopping you from coming? Afraid of English? To be alone, away from family and friends? Do not you want to leave your comfort zone?
After the 2 months that I went around here, I returned to Colombia and it took me only 1 month to obtain my new student VISA, 5 months have passed and I am already a Private Pilot. I dare to say it is the best decision I have made in my life, for me there is no point of comparison being here, where aviation is truly an industry or in my country Colombia, on the land that I love, everything is issue of evolution.
@VacowJimenez[:es]Las matemáticas son una ciencia amplia, exacta y compleja. No te asustes, el punto a favor es que, aunque aviación no es una ciencia que requiere niveles altos de conocimientos en matemáticas si necesitas lo básico y además en el momento de escoger tu academia jugaran un roll fundamental.
Escogí estudiar aviación en Estados Unidos después de indagar el tema por cerca de un año, visité los aeropuertos en Colombia, las escuelas, las oficinas, me monté en los aviones, y muchas veces quise volar en ellos, pero a pesar de que estaba en mi tierra, “dónde me las se todas”, no logré persuadir a alguna academia de llevarme en un vuelo como pasajero o en hacerme un vuelo de reconocimiento a un precio razonable.
En el verano de 2018, mi familia programó unas  vacaciones a Miami y Orlando, por 15 días disfrutamos, descansamos y luego regresaron a Colombia sin mí, ¿cómo? ¡Así es, sin mí!
Cuando llegamos a Miami decidí acercarme a uno de sus 8 aeropuertos, quería visitar una escuela, ver y experimentar como sería estudiar aviación acá, no estaba realmente preparado para lo que se me venía, solo iba a averiguar, pero tan pronto como entre, note la diferencia de un país al otro, la atención, las instalaciones, los aviones, el idioma (Ingles por supuesto), y no tuve necesidad de preguntar si podía volar en uno de sus aviones ese día, ellos me ofrecieron llevarme como pasajero en un Diamond DA-40, avión que hasta el momento nunca había oído. Con cierto miedo, pero con más emoción un día casual resulto extraordinario conmigo en el aire.

En los días siguientes salimos de Miami para Orlando disfrutamos de sus parques, atracciones y centros comerciales, pero quede con la espinita de que volar acá realmente era fácil, no dude más de 2 días en acercarme a una nueva escuela en Orlando y nuevamente encontré que dentro de 30 millas, tenía nuevamente otros 8 aeropuertos a donde ir, escogí uno al azar ¿puedes adivinar el resultado?… ¡Resulte volando otra vez! Fácil, esta vez un Piper PA-28.
Decidí quedarme 2 meses, visité demasiadas ciudades, aeropuertos y escuelas acá en la Florida, mi sueño se convirtió en estudiar aviación en Estados Unidos, no encontré similitud alguna en cuanto a lenguaje, tiempo de estudio, infraestructura aeronáutica y mantenimiento de aviones, todo es totalmente diferente.
A continuación, me explicare punto por punto mejor.
Lenguaje: No es mi primer punto por casualidad, es el primer punto porque si se quiere ser piloto, no un piloto cualquiera, uno bueno, con oportunidades internacionales, para nadie es un secreto que el inglés es el medio de comunicación aeronáutico por definición. Si el sueño es ser un piloto de aerolínea y salir del país, el inglés es la herramienta más efectiva. Pensándolo así, ¿por qué esperar a graduarse para encontrar rechazo de las aerolíneas por el idioma? ¿No es mejor hacerlo ya? ¿Recibiendo instrucción en Ingles?
Tiempo de Estudio: En Colombia hacer la carrera de aviación lleva aproximadamente 2 años, mientras que acá en Estados Unidos el promedio es un año. Sin irme muy lejos hay 2 razones para esto. 1. La cantidad de aviones que las escuelas tienen y 2. La cantidad de peros que las escuelas en Colombia tienen para operar, las escuelas obedecen a la Aeronáutica Civil y como todas las instituciones gubernamentales en Colombia, no solo son lentas, sino que también problemáticas.
Infraestructura aeronáutica: De verdad me impresionan la cantidad de aeropuertos que hay acá en USA, como lo escribí al principio del blog, hay 8 aeropuertos dentro de Miami y 8 dentro de Orlando respectivamente sin contar los privados. Hay tantos aeropuertos acá que es difícil en una emergencia no tener donde aterrizar. Ahora vámonos a Colombia en donde por ciudad con suerte hay 2 aeropuertos 3 por mucho, las emergencias pasan, y nuestras “autopistas” no son muy grandes que digamos y aparte tienen huecos, ¡Perdón! Lo tenía que decir. Si no has venido a los Estados Unidos tienes que venir, Autopistas de hasta 8 carriles hacia un lado y 8 hacia al otro.

¡Obviamente con los aeropuertos vienen los aviones, miles de ellos y con ellos las oportunidades!
Mantenimiento de aviones: En este punto habló de Estados Unidos, un mantenimiento minucioso se hace cada 100 horas de vuelo por ley, la FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) es muy rigurosa en todo. Debido a esto todo mundo cumple con ellos, nadie quiere tener problemas con ellos, cosa que no pasa en Colombia, hablar de la Aeronáutica Civil, es sinónimo de demora, lo cual no debería ser así y que triste la verdad, entre demora y demora, el mantenimiento va decayendo.
Finalmente, lo que más nos interesa a todos, el mayor obstáculo que se tiene para estudiar aviación: DINERO y tu probablemente piensas que: si estudiar en Colombia ya es caro, para estudiar en Estados Unidos necesitas una fortuna, pero NO, ¡Necesitas el mismo dinero que si fueras a estudiar en Colombia!

Las matemáticas son exactas ya te lo dije, si el precio de estudiar aviación en Colombia o Estados Unidos es el mismo, ¿Qué te detiene a venir? ¿Miedo al inglés? ¿A estar solo, lejos de la familia y amigos? ¿No quieres salir de tu zona de confort?
Después de los 2 meses que anduve por acá, regrese a Colombia y me tomo solo 1 mes obtener mi nueva VISA de estudiante, han pasado 5 meses y ya soy Piloto Privado. Yo me atrevo a decir que es la mejor decisión que he tomado en mi vida, para mí no hay punto de comparación el estar acá, en donde la aviación es verdaderamente una industria o en mi país Colombia (la tierra que amo), todo es cuestión de evolución.
