I am Finally a Pilot! My Entire Pilot Training Journey + Tips

- Last week I finally passed my Private Pilot Checkride, so I am now officially a pilot!
But I never believed I could become a pilot! I am not a technical person, just the thought of piloting a plane always seemed way beyond me; I had very little confidence in my physical ability to fly a plane plus I was way too content with flying as a backseat passenger.
In this video, I am going to share with you my entire Pilot training journey and how things have changed since I started flying.
There are 3 key phases of flight training as a private pilot:
1. Fundamental of flights and solo flight
2. Cross Country flights
3. Exam Preparation
To obtain your private pilot certificate, you need to pass a written exam, an oral exam and a practical exam. In this video, I am sharing with you my experience on these pilot exams and some useful tips to help you. Further, I discuss the cost of getting a private pilot license, getting the right instructor and several key factors to help you throughout the training.
I have gained an enormous amount of satisfaction throughout my pilot journey. Once you make a good landing or break through a mental wall, the confidence will surge and every step you make is one closer to success! If I can do it, you can too!
I am now looking forward to gaining more air time with my fellow aviators!

@@PilotBlogDenys oh my had I saw your message
Congratulations Sam for becoming a pilot!! Have fun flying!!
The first solo. Where your brain splits in half. One half telling you that your going to die in a flaming wreck and the other have trying to convince you that you are trained for this and your instructor would never put you up alone if he though differently. I remember grinning ear to ear from rotation until flair. Almost forgot my downwind checklist. One moment in your life you wil never forget, Congratulations
Congratulation, wow!
Thalaiva, Neengala..
Evidyum ☺️
Congratulations
Aaaa polichh😅😅😅😅😂😂

Congrats Sam-welcome to the world of aviators-I'm sure it will make for even better reviews with the new knowledge and aviation skills you've gained in the process.
Ahhh Sam!! Been watching you, like many others, for years! This has been an awesome journey, huge congratulations!
Congrats, you’ve now entered in to very elite club.
Took my first lesson when I was ten, soloed on my 16th birthday and passed my private when I turned 17.
Now just a FEW years later and just under 22k hrs in my book, I’m a retired corporate pilot. Enjoy the ride !!!
Congratulations, Sam! Always happy landings! 👍🛩
Indeed a great achievement! Congratulations and safe flying all the way
Congratulations Sam! Welcome to the air and happy landings everywhere!
Congratulations Sam Chui I really admire how much you gone so deep into the aviation industry. Keep flying high 👍👍
Congratulations Mr Chui!
Congratulations!!!
I’ve been watching for about 2-4 years and I always imagined you to be a pilot and here you are, congrats🥳 🥳🥳
Awesome- I admit wanting to learn to fly is something I once thought of- keep living the dream and I really enjoy your videos and I look forward to seeing them when I can! Safe flying!
Well done, Sam. I got up to 9 hours in Hawaii in 1972, and then chickened out doing my first solo. In a Cessna 100. You're a better man than I. :-)
Congrats Sam! 👍👏
Congratulation Sam after lot of traveling around the world, it inspired you to become a pilot, really a tremendous job.
Congratulations Sam well deserved for your great enthusiasm for aviation. Always enjoy your content & admire all of your challenges & films on CZcams.

Congratulations samchui❤️💯
Congratulations Sir you are my inspiration for becoming a pilot which is my dream
Congratulations Sam! You are an inspiration to all of us!
Congrats Sam! I actually also became a student pilot because of you, your video showed me that it is relatively easy to join a flight school. I’m still working on my license but I’ll see you in the skies
CONGRATULATIONS 👍🥳👏 YOU HAVE BECAME A PILOT
Congratulations Sam 🔥😁❤🤝I'm also training hopefully one day we'll fly together 😁
Congratulations Sam! It's great to see how much you've enjoyed your time becoming a pilot, very inspiring.
I'm currently in South korea 🇰🇷, but when I get home, I'm finally going to take the plunge and book my first flying lesson, I'm so excited!
Just got to survive hotel quarantine first 😵
Felicitations, Mr Sam. i'm inspired by your videos to pursue my pilot dream even though it seem impossible. i'll try... i'll try. coming back in few years from now to say i did it.
Airline pilot here... congrats on the hard work and dedication...welcome to the club..
I’d absolutely go mental if I went on a flight and I heard sams voice on the PA
You'll have to wait for him to get CPL
@@mohammadzohorul8887 he wont get his CPL, I love the guy but I don't think he would cut it as a commercial pilot.
@@landaxe2 like you decide his goals in life. Sheesh
@@elpresidente699lol no, Sam is a good guy but certainly not the brightest lol.
@@landaxe2 You are not the bightest apparently.
Congratulations Sam. Welcome to the pilot club. I vividly remember my private pilot check ride at Meadows Field Airport in Bakersfield. The DPE was constantly challenging me by creating distractions while I was flying the plane. I had to demonstrate that I could manage all cockpit operations through aviating, navigating, and communicating. It didn't "help" that my check ride was also on April 1 (April Fools Day).
Congratulations Sam!!! Well done!!! God bless you and fly safe!!!
Congrats Sam, proud of you.
This is great Sam, congrats and safe flights! It is my dream as well and this was inspirational.
I want to ask you, how did you experience the RT part of the PPL learning. In busy airspace like LA it seems exceedingly hard to follow and understand what they are saying.
Congrats! Chasing this goal myself and about halfway in. Love every minute. Keep up the good work.
Sam, congratulations. Fly safe and live safe. take it easy. So long.
Hi, Sam, I am really happy your dream came true, congratulations, hopefully, your plane is upgraded, as a person who will be moving to Doha in 3 years, becoming a Pilot for Qatar Airways, I would like to wish you the best and congratulate you on the PPL license, happy PPL day,
-Ali
Did you already joined Qatar Airways?
WOAH thats sick have u joined qatar already?🙂
@@britishsensei1136 No, not yet, in three year time from now I will join Qatar, right now, I am not joined, but in three years time, I will join Qatar Airways.
@@mohammadzohorul8887 No, not yet, but in 3 years time I will join.
@@alinavadehqrdoha you can just “join” Qatar airways. You’d need to have 1,000’s of flight time as a commercial airline pilot. Qatar airways is a very prestigious airline so it takes a lot of time to become a pilot for them. Good luck!
Congrats SAM.. After PPL comes CPL.. enjoy!!
He wants private license not CPL
@@RishiC.7 i know that.. I already have CPL
I'm sure he could afford to continue to CPL/IR/MER/MCP/ATPL. But the flying hours required before getting hired in theUSA is far higher than in europe.
What about OPP???
Yeah you know me!!!
@@Bauer787i how to cpl
Congratulations! Always love to watch a new video. Both my 9 and 12 year old look forward to watching them with me on the big screen TV.
Congrats Sam! safe travels and Blue skies!
So covid destroyed aviation but made new “variant pilots” : fantastic !!!!! & congrat !
ironically the qantas 747 retired exactly a year from today, congrats sam
Qantas
what ever they spell that shit wrong asf
@@COBBRACING21 it's an acronym
Love to see it Sam! Been watching your videos for a while, great to see you finally become a pilot!
Amazing Sam, very inspirational.
Sam has a crush on Jennifer for sure lmao
😂😂😂
I wouldn’t call myself a pilot for just holding a PPL
What do you think the second letter of PPL stands for? There are many kinds of pilot and piloting, but your flight sim definitely doesn’t count.
Congrats Sam! Dream come true! I am also working on my private pilot’s license and I am so excited!! Great Video and awesome job with all the persistence and hard work it takes to get your ppl! CONGRATULATIONS!! 🎉 and Cheers 🥂 !🎉
Congratulations! Can't wait for this exciting journey
