Sam I'm a subscriber when you started this CZcams channel. And finally you made it. You did it your dream come true. I also wanted to be an airline pilot. INSHA ALLAH I will.
Being an older man at 66... this has the WOW FACTOR! From ATC to flying private in the 70s to 80s its great to see someone had the ability to make this happen! For what you are given for your funds spent I'm not seeing any slacking but, more than enough aid to continue onto your dream of being the best of the best afterwards. Truly unbelievable and amazing! An exciting opportunity and video!
Imagine flying in one of these on the short hop from Manchester or Liverpool to Dublin and then flying all over Ireland, especially the beautiful West of Ireland
Wow! Sam, this is quite impressive. I've been watching you for years now, and let me tell you that your video production over the years has increased exponentially! The quality you put out for us does not compare to anyone else. Thank you for everything that you do and thank you for the entertainment
Another great video, Sam. You seem to have a natural aptitude for aviation. I think you would make a great commercial airline pilot. Emirates is smart by taking Cadets with no prior experience. This way you are trained to fly the Emirates way with no misconceptions. What a great opportunity for a young person who wants to become a commercial airline pilot. The United States has nothing comparable to the Emirates flight school.
One of the best videos about flying, ever! What an impressive organization; and how lucky for you to be able to go into two of their trainers. Also loved seeing Dubai from a low altitude. Count your blessings sir.

You’ve got to be kidding right, they let go a huge portion of their pilots because if the pandemic and now their hiring new cadets in the interest of implementing cheaper contracts. Emirates business practices for their pilots and cabin crew leave a lot to be desired.
@@P_Jag every airline let go of most of their pilots due to the pandemic. also, where you getting your info from that they are only hiring new cadets to make cheaper contracts?
This video makes me want to strive more to become a pilot. I'm in my late 20's and still dreaming and hopefull. Hopefully this 2022, I can start training for my PPL with my small savings. I may not afford this kind of flying school but I will strive so hard that I can surpass the graduates of EFTA. Cheers!
Sam what an amazing opportunity to share this wonderful adventure with all of us. Love watching your videos from USA. I hope one day I'll get the opportunity to fly on emirates A380 airlines. Your awesome.
I’m an Indonesian Commercial Pilot with Instrument Rating, Cessna 172 rated. Compared to my flight academy back in Indonesia, i must say, Emirates’s Flight Academy is an academy made in heaven. God i wished i was born in Dubai..
Considering the way it’s done their should be a conglomerate that such as recruits who’re sponsored by other airlines say delta a recruit they pay for the course and the recruit signs a 3-5-7 year contract to delta to fly exclusively for delta
Your best ever video IMO. Really interesting and incredible access you managed to get there. If only I was 30 years younger, much cleverer and considerably wealthier I’d be there myself
@Sam Chui thank you for the video and showing us a snippet of what goes on in the FEA. I loved the video and watching your flying experience... Keep up the good work...
I wish this had been available 30 years ago. If I could have walked into an airline's flight training academy and been trained from zero hours to full ATP certification, I'd have jumped on it so fast.....
Huge pilot shortage right now. This is very smart business. Unlimited supply of women from India, etc. they appreciate the opportunity. The huge number of WW2 pilots, are 100% out of the system now.
I am currently in the process of training to be an astronaut and one of the aspects of my training includes pilot training. Love seeing others do something that brings me so much joy! Keep it up.
Sam, sam, sam you are just incredible, actually I was waiting for this video from long ago, to know more about EFTA, thankyou sam for presenting such a informative video and for sharing your wonderful experience with EFTA. Thankyou so much
What access Sam !!!! amazing to see EFTA. I am so jealous. I had to train in a 1969 Cessna 150 !! even needed a flash light to read the ASI during Night Rating ! thanks for a great vlog.
Technology has made flying much easier these days but the guiding principal remain the same. The tough part for young pilot like me , is to flying a fully gauged 1980s built Cessna now!
Would love to go there and learn how to fly after I get my aircraft mechanic license. Dreamt of being an aircraft pilot ever since I was a 10 yrs old and I hope to be one someday. Safe skies Sam and thank you for showing this beautiful institution to us avid aviation fans.
Can't believe I just watched Sam Chui realize my childhood dream! This brought back so many memories of me as a 9 year old boy, spending hours playing airliners at home, every room was a separate country with its own airport. There's me piloting a jumbo jet from the living room to my bedroom, communicating with the imaginary tower, disembarking imaginary passengers in the imaginary airport in my bedroom. A little boy's dreams (sigh...).
I remember back in 2015 when i flew the the embraer for the first time during my flying school..such a beautiful aircraft to fly and really stable. Kinda want to fly her again
This is how all airlines should do it. No airline can fairly complain about a pilot "shortage" if they aren't willing to provide training avenues for new pilots.
Wow ! thats probably the best flight academy in the world ! where all the students got to do is to concentrate on theirs courses . the old school like my time starting in little clubs working our ways up is over. its amazing !
Looked like an amazing experience, but this flight training organization has been known to charge way over what flight training should actually cost just because they share the 'Emirates' trademark. I for one have been at a similar "big name" integrated training organization who continuously advertised about how good/new their facilities are, but underneath all of that was an environment that did not focus on the cadet despite their large investment, but rather how much money the organization could potentially make from you.
EFTA attracts a fair amount of students from UAE nationals sponsor by the government and neighboring countries which lack of decent training facilities. It is a business at the end of the day like all flight school but they aim to be world class teaching and use the Emirates brand name to set it apart. The $180k 2 year cost includes your accommodation and food which can be expensive in Dubai.
Well if you are a local then it’s like 99% but if you are an expat, then it’s a gamble because you will get selected for an INTERVIEW which again depends on the availability of the position
@@SamChui Here in Australia, we have the Virgin Australia cadetship, and if we graduate, we have secured a job at Virgin Australia; with this academy, it seems as though you are just kicked out once you have passed and left to look for jobs on your own although you are put through a selection process with the emirates one which is not even securing you a job which can be difficult.
This is absolutely a breathtaking, wawooo thank you sooo much Sam for all hard work and able to share with us your experience and everything. Have been following your most CZcams videos and really enjoy them so much. Haven’t flown out of Africa yet but with this video feels like I have explored the world and seen how beautiful Dubai is from the birds eye view, really amazing.
No Canadians do not scam people for $180g. IN North America we charge much less and dont get you to pay for our house, cars, food. Imagine a place where they scam every single day. (ANYWHERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. SEE HOW THEY CONTROL AND BEAT FOREIGN WORKERS. Hey they are here scamming you out of housing with WEAK laws as housing in North America is just an 'investment." Watch how we kick THEM OUT THIS YEAR.
One of the KEY reasons why this is such a successful airline is due to its constantly evolving state of the art flight training academy, producing quality pilots. I am not sure if any other country can match this type of program/training. -Max
Max! Stop smoking weed dude. Any other country can match this type of programming. This is simply pushing program buttons. The programming for these jets are pathetic. Most of it is redundancy so that a monkey cannot screw up. The planes fly themselves on autopilot for 80% of flights today. Watch CitationMax or Premier 1 Driver. Get real.
So successful an EK crew turned a 777 in to a cruise missile by not lifting the nose at VR. 260 knots on the runway and still didn’t rotate “flight director didn’t tell me to do it yet!”
@@dashcan8479 my friend who used to have his own plane said today's pilots don't have enough hands on experience if the plane's autopilot fails, today's jets are all autopilot
I noticed a lot of non-US carriers having their own flight academies, many of them even in US state of Arizona. Why don’t US carriers have their own flight academies and train in this fashion?
Because as fantastic as this is, it’s extremely expensive compared to your average flight school + well above the minimum requirements, which most people can afford. However that being said, there is absolutely not compromise in quality of training and education, as I’ve personally been through it myself. United Aviate academy for one has phenomenal training, which is where my airline outsources their cadets to train (it was formerly known as Westwind School of Aeronautics). Emirates is absolutely world class, but also a far cry in terms of money for 80% of aspiring pilots!
US has many very well-developed flying school and an efficient general aviation sector that produce a lot of fresh pilots. United has their own academy.
Cool video. However being such an expensive flight school it really puts aviation in the reach of only the wealthy. Not cool. Everyone should have a chance to study to be a pilot if they want to.
@@vinithradhakrishnan8969 can confirm that its 90 weeks, and let me explain why. The cadet program at EFTA was first meant to serve Emirati students to join emirates airlines and to create better opportunities for Emirati youth, so the 90 days of ground school also includes 777 ground training and other aircrafts that emirates has. and since they need a lot of pilots from the region to employ the Emiratis they have to fast track the flight training which is why you only need 250 hours to be transferred to a co-pilot position at emirates (if you're Emirati)
Awesome video Sam!! I did a ZOOM interview for a job as an Instructor with EFTA last year. All went well, but unfortunately due to Australia's strict Pandemic border policies I was unable to leave the country. Fingers crossed going into the new year!
Wow this is a great initiative by Emirates. Always setting the standards. It would give peace of mind to aspirants to get everything at one stop. Great idea. Well done.
Set the standards? The only thing EK knows how to not set is the MCP so the incoming crew can turn a 777 in to a cruise missile, 260 knots and still on the runway because the FD “didn’t tell them” to take off.
this is an awful initiative, the academy costs more than 200k the two years for foreign students, an absoute insult to any person looking for legit pilot training, not even a guaranteed job and since it's emirates, chances are you´ll end up without a job at emirates and -200kUSD
@@NovaScotiaKevin Yeah isn't Emirates one of those airlines that insists pilots do nearly everything on autopilot and heavy use of flight director etc? I mean others do it too to some degree, but I heard with them it's excessive, to the point that even if you have thousands of hours you have barely any real flying experience (as in hands on flying).
The only standards these people know how to set is throw a lot of money at shit other people built and designed and they don#t really understand. Which is why 100 years from now they will be exactly the same place they were 100 years ago. In the desert, cutting each other's heads off. The only exception is Kuwait, as they were the only ones who actually diversified HEAVILY from oil and made shit happen.
@@youtubemodsaresnowflakelef7692 it’s an airline that loves Children of the Magenta Line. Many airlines, like you said, promote and encourage following automation as opposed to flying skill based off of marrying stick and rudder with automation.
Yes, I agree, lot of ground before practical flying starts. I think one reason is to make sure the cadet can pass all the exams, those failed may not able to proceed to flying phase.
Probably old news, but my first time seeing Sam pilot a plane. Been following the channel since early days, soo awesome to see that dream come to fruition for him!
Thank you for sharing this Sam! I hold a PPL, trained at Bristol in the UK and recorded many of my flights for my CZcams channel. Hopefully I'll be going commercial one day. Thank you for giving us such a great insight into the Emirates academy.

@@SixFootScream please explain what means arrogant in few words
@@singa4025 sam thing he is the best in aviation comtemt creator
The look on the instructor's face when Sam landed the jet was priceless.
Hi I have been a supporter for all my life *10 years* and I just love your content
So cool to see you grow, been here for a while!
Awesome video Sam!! I did a ZOOM interview for a job as an Instructor with EFTA last year. All went well, but unfortunately due to Australia's strict Pandemic border policies I was unable to leave the country. Fingers crossed going into the new year!
What are your flying experience?
@@LordBagdanoff Hi, I’ve got 1600 total hours, 600 instructing hours and extensive multi IFR charter flying experience
@@jmoss2407 thanks for the reply. You hold a CASA license?
@@LordBagdanoff Yes I do
Should be good to go now!
Wow this is a great initiative by Emirates. Always setting the standards. It would give peace of mind to aspirants to get everything at one stop. Great idea. Well done.
Set the standards? The only thing EK knows how to not set is the MCP so the incoming crew can turn a 777 in to a cruise missile, 260 knots and still on the runway because the FD “didn’t tell them” to take off.
this is an awful initiative, the academy costs more than 200k the two years for foreign students, an absoute insult to any person looking for legit pilot training, not even a guaranteed job and since it's emirates, chances are you´ll end up without a job at emirates and -200kUSD
@@NovaScotiaKevin Yeah isn't Emirates one of those airlines that insists pilots do nearly everything on autopilot and heavy use of flight director etc? I mean others do it too to some degree, but I heard with them it's excessive, to the point that even if you have thousands of hours you have barely any real flying experience (as in hands on flying).
The only standards these people know how to set is throw a lot of money at shit other people built and designed and they don#t really understand. Which is why 100 years from now they will be exactly the same place they were 100 years ago.
In the desert, cutting each other's heads off.
The only exception is Kuwait, as they were the only ones who actually diversified HEAVILY from oil and made shit happen.
@@youtubemodsaresnowflakelef7692 it’s an airline that loves Children of the Magenta Line. Many airlines, like you said, promote and encourage following automation as opposed to flying skill based off of marrying stick and rudder with automation.
wow, I had never seen Emirates Private jets and props!
Great vid, good luck!
That Phenom looks sweet. 👍😊🇨🇮✈️🛫
So they have the G3000 on the phantom…and they’re using paper maps? Haha such an over the top academy but I could only be jealous! Quite amazing
we always carry the ERSA, standard procedure
Standard procedures ever heard of it?
I can’t get over the 90 weeks of ground school 😯 for an IATPL
It would seem that 90 weeks to get the ATPL exams done is a bit overkill when most integrated courses do them in 4-6 months....
Yes, I agree, lot of ground before practical flying starts. I think one reason is to make sure the cadet can pass all the exams, those failed may not able to proceed to flying phase.
Probably old news, but my first time seeing Sam pilot a plane. Been following the channel since early days, soo awesome to see that dream come to fruition for him!
Nice video! Good on you for getting these experiences along the way of sharing with the community!. Blue side up bro!
Thank you for sharing this Sam! I hold a PPL, trained at Bristol in the UK and recorded many of my flights for my CZcams channel. Hopefully I'll be going commercial one day. Thank you for giving us such a great insight into the Emirates academy.
I wish the planes would be used for passengers to have a tour of Dubai from the sky😍❤️
Actually it's only for pilot training programs...
Watching this video while being in a beautiful hotel on the palm of dubai adds even more joy! Thanks for this fun!
Thanks for the beautiful views Sam!
