I am 16 years old and I want to eventually fly the Boeing 777X for Emirates. I have made a plan of going to a specific flight school which I have already visited and then applying for a low cost airline here in Europe like Ryanair. They give a maximum of 900 hours a year so staying there for 3 years minimum I will have checked off the 2500 hour requirement that Emirates has and I will be able to go for the interview. I think it should be doable by the time I turn 24. Your videos have gotten better very rapidly. Keep going and have a happy new year Captain.😉
I’m exactly like you I want to become a 777 family pilot for Emirates I want to join a good flight school in Brussels then complete my flight hours to become a charter airline pilot for Ryanair or Flydubai and do the 2000-3000 hours required to join Emirates
@@JA-rk9cg It is called "Egnatia Aviation Academy" and they claim to be one of the Top 10 flight schools in Europe. They ask a little more than most flight schools, but from what I saw it is definitely worth every penny as the have a fleet full of diamond aircraft and their facilities are excellent.
I read somewhere once that goals need to be 7 things, otherwise they’re just a wish (wish in one hand, crap in the other, which one comes fullest?). Goals need to be as specific as possible. They need to be measurable and have a time limit (x number of hours in a year makes the math easy for how many hours to shoot for per month). They need to be YOUR goals. Don’t do it for anyone else but yourself (of course others may be passive beneficiaries). And you need to write them down to hold yourself accountable and stay focused. This is some good stuff!!
Captain Kelsey: Good day! In solidarity to all what you have mentioned in this podcast, i truce that your hints, tips, and tricks are by far the best I have ever been preached about. No sole motivational speaker has ever shared such indigenous method of succeeding. Thank you!
Hy Calsy, as a private pilot in Israel (with IR rating) your pattion ,enthusiasm and professional guidance is awassm, great and above all inspiring!!!. Well done!!. You are doing a great and most appreciative service to everyone having a pilot soul. As Leonardo de vinci said: “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”👏👍
Here goes my goal: Work part-time Finish instrument before the end of 2019 Work full time for 5 months--save up for commercial Work part-time Get my commercial before the end of 2020 Quit my job and loan up to get my CFI Get a CFI job and start logging hours to pay back CFI debt and work towards the airlines. Kelsey, Thank you for your videos.
That's wise and sound advice for anyone in anything they want to do. Set the long-term goal, and work backwards in planning. You've got look at what you need to accomplish the end goal and then look at what you need to get those things you need for it. It's a serious of steps in a progression toward the end goal. And especially early on in the process things will be very tough. I know from my own experience in working toward my own major goal, I'm not a pilot nor do I want to be, but the principle of working toward doable goals is the same. And as you make progress it usually gets a little easier to accomplish. As for surviving the tough times, keeping your eye on your goal really does help, you can bear amazing difficulty when you think of it as a necessary step toward the goal.
Alaska Airlines is my dream! Right now I’m planning the flight instructor route to get into Skywest or Horizon, my top two regionals. Loved your passion in this video!
Thank you for this, I’m staring to do the analytics to get there. But one acronym the usaf taught me was SOMA, Specific, Observable, Measurable Attainable. I like your approach how to figure out where you want to be & how to get there.
The best pilot vlogger so far ,, been motivated to achieve my aviation dreams because of this channel ,, salute to you Capt. Kelsey ✈️🤓 Dreamer from Philippines 🇵🇭
74 Gear aaaawwwwwwww 😍😍 my very first reply from a pilot of my most fav type of aircraft ✈️ super motivated already 😭 thankyouuuy so much Capt. Kelsey 🤩
74 Gear this might sound very awkward and I might be too much exaggerated ,, but your reply have so much impact for me to pursue this dream ,, thank you so much Capt. Kelsey 🥳🤩 Godbless for your every flight ☝️😇
My goal is to have a target amount of money so I can start a flight school. Sometimes it feels like an hour has 4567 minutes and I tell myself exactly this. Another hour closer to the goal. Another step closer. Even tho it might be a baby one. Thank you, Kelsey. Great vid as always.
Happy New Year everyone and awesome advice Kelsey! You just answered my previous question to you... As for my goals for 2019, I just got my CFI rating in December 2018 with total time sitting at 450 hours. Next I will be getting all my ATPL theory credits locked in starting in February with a 3 month full time course here in New Zealand at Ardmore Flying School. Then from May using that CFI rating to clock up another 550 hours to hit 1,000 hours total time by the end of 2019. That will mean an average of 80 hours flying per month. Doable but not at a flying school that has you teaching ground theory courses for the first 6 months of an "internship"... So Australia or the Maldives is looking attractive... All the best everyone and may all your goals be achieved in 2019!
My Aviation goals for this year is to finish my commercial and instrument rating . Start my multi engine, get a tail wheel endorsement and fly a glider!
Love the video and love the attitude. As someone who is strongly considering a career change, I have already done much of what you mentioned in the video. It was good to get the reminder and the reassurance that I was headed in the right direction!
I’d love to see a video on neat facts about the 747! I’ve always been curious about the fuel burn during cruise. How much fuel is used to get to say FL350? Is it tedious to start and manage 4 engines? Can you fly with only one engine? Maybe you could post a question box on Instagram and get more good questions from the community. Thanks!
Id be interesting to see if there have been changes since this video as far as hour requirements exc. Ive heard the major airlines have shortages of pilots so id like to hear an updated video 😊
I've been chasing my PPL for twenty years! IT's time to get the PPL and Instrument this year!! No pilot career goal for me anymore, just pleasure flying and plane ownership!
Goal Leave the army, PPL & USPA instructor rating. Get a job at a skydiving dz. work as a jump pilot, collect hours on weekends. Meanwhile continue my 9-5 job and school. Till I obtain ratings and 1500 hours.
My goals are to have my CAX, FIA, FII, and FIO writtens completed with my ground school modules finished before my start date at ATP in August. By my training finish, I’ll have 750 hours to build as an instructor. I know the regionals are hiring anybody and their brother, but it’s the legacy airlines I’m aiming for in the long run.
Just found your channel and I love it!! Always wanted to fly. I even went to ppl school before I enlisted but there were no F14s in my navy career lol. I am lucky enough to have built a flight simulator cockpit ( fighter based ) and use X-plane 11. I'm really impressed with how the views are. Videos are great keep them coming!
Thanks Captain Kelsey:) this video is very motivating:) I want to get my flying done this summer when weather gets better in Canada and my goal is to complete my CPL and multi, IFR this year:)
My short term goals: 1. Increasing my college GPA as a community college student 2. Recieving elgibility to take math 30 and physics to be elgible for aviation at Vaughn College (LGA, New York) 3. Become fit to sustain my health, because pilots must be healthy Long term goals 1. Fly an A350, and any A320 planes with iae v2500 as captain 2. To make sure i either work for Delta, United, or Avianca
My goals this year: Passing the PPL check ride, passing the theoretic CPL exam and the CPL check ride, building 500 hours of flight time, getting the ICAO english level 5.
Thanks for the awesome video! My goal for the end of 2019 is to have my CFI done and to have gotten at least one interview with a fighter squadron for air national guard.
I have no plan to become a pilot I don’t use sims. Just watch the videos for entertainment value. I think these methods can be applied to most of life .
Awesome video as always. My short term goals are completing my PPL. Currently half way through and going extremely well. After that I want to complete my CPL whilst hour building. I haven't worked out how I am going to hour build yet but rest assured I am working on it a plan of action. Long term goals are to fly for Ryanair at the very least and possibly British Airways in the future. Realistically though I will fly for anyone who offers me a job. 🙏😃
@@74gear Kels.. This means a lot mn. I had been doubt full but after watching your video on "Russian sully", I have made up my mind to pursue my dreams at 28 yrs. - Off to the Sky
The two major airlines in Canada, WestJet Encore and Air Canada Jazz both have entry-level programs that will be able to get your foot in the door and have less than 1000 hours regardless. You must have their minimum requirements before offered employment, but this allows younger pilots with less experience to get the ball rolling with these airlines.
My goal is to become an Emirates A380 first officer by 21 years old. I will turn 16 by Dec 2023, and I finish highschool in June 2024. I will go to flightschool straight after, in September. Flightschool in europe usually takes 12-18 months, so by the time I graduate I'll be 18, precisely the minimum age for a CPL/Frozen ATPL. Most legacy airlines in Europe hire at 200 hours total time. So if I get hired and fly for 3 years until 21, at a rate of 900 hours per year, I'll end up with 2,700 hours plus flightschool hours and that's 2,900 hours total time; well within Emirates' minimums of 2,000 hours on a jet-powered aircraft with MTOW 20T or more. Might be straightforward to become an Emirates pilot, but definitely not easy to get on the A380 fleet as nearly 90% of EK pilot applicants get allocated to the B777, even though there's nearly as much A380s as B777s in the fleet. Many A380 pilots at EK aren't new hires like with the B777 all the time. Most were either pilots at EK long ago even before the A380 first joined the fleet, or they are direct-entry captains. That's not to say I dislike the B777, as it is my favorite aircraft. But the A380 is rare gem, that won't be around for very long like the B777X or even the B747F. Wish me luck!
Great video!! My goal for the end of 2019 is to have my instrument and commercial written done. Have my ppl and working on my imstrument rateing. I have 15 hours now and my written done.
Thanks for this lovely video. I am a Class 3 flight instructor (in Canada) with 500hrs and my goal is to move to a 3rd tier carrier and gain 500hrs more (1000TT) on twin turbine aircraft (King Air, Beach 1900 etc.). Blessings and good wishes to all who read this.
thanks I am glad you enjoyed it Joshua... with 500 hours you are well on your way... let me know if you have any pilot question I can help with and thanks for subscribing to 74 gear
I am 38yrs OLD CPL with 410 flight hours, this year, I do plan to complete CFI and gain 800hours and 2020 to complete 1500 hours and ATPL and my A320 type rating
Commercial/instrument/multi-single pilot: 260 hours: haven’t been in an airplane in 8 years: 38 years old: 2019: to become a CFI/pursue a career in aviation and finally leave my job
Hey Kelsey.. are you comfortable with doing some kind of vlog style video's? Things like what location you are... and where you're heading. Maybe some flight deck video's (take off, landings, 747 cockpit tour?) Like Kent Wein channel for example. .... I''m just throwing up a ball... of course you.. and your company & colleagues must be comfortable with this.
One of my buddies is now a first officer at American Airlines. On his off days while still a first officer at the regionals he’d go out with a buddy who had access to Cessna citation. They’d go on trips all the time with my buddy as PIC to get a jump start on his hours. definitely got him to the majors a lot faster. Not many people have connections and access to stuff like this, but this is a perfect example of using your resources to your advantage! Wishing good luck to everyone pursuing a life of flying!!
so i want to be at 250 hours by the end of this year, 2019. so thats 6 months left at the start of july. that leaves me with 120 days after i finish enrolling in my chosen flight school not including weekends. so im going to have to fly for a minimum of 2.1 hours a day monday through friday to reach that goal.
Waking up in the north...clearing snow...flying a plane with a bearly working heater for $12hr.. you didn't work for Cape Air did you? XD And my goals, get my ATP this year and get a line as a captain. cheers!
I really don’t understand why so many airlines insist on a college degree. Do they think it makes the candidate more well rounded? It seems it would be so much more practical for students to pay for some community college courses in whatever mathematics and science classes are necessary for understanding how airplanes work, and greatly reduce their student debt load.
degree's are a thing of the past. several airline pilots have told me (including my dad who flies for american) i rather invest more in my flight training to get more quality training then spend another 100k for college.
@@vram745 that makes sense. As long as a pilot understands basic physics of flight, meteorology, and physiological factors, that should be sufficient. I could not care less if my pilot has a 4 year degree and some irrelevant classes in organic chemistry, botany, or early American literature.
I dont either. The "right of passage" with the degree has been around since degrees and flight training were affordable for people wanting to work hard and follow the dream. Realistically these days, a degree and flight school together is going to put someone in debt around $200k. Or unless you just have filthy rich parents who can help you out. Who wants to do that? Nobody who is sane. I always thought of a pilot as a trade like anything else that doesnt require a degree. Unfortunately there are a lot of talented and well rounded individuals out there who cant achieve their dreams because its monetarily unaffordable.
My goal by this time next year is to have my CFI, and have atleast 700 hours of flight time. In 3 years my goal is to have my first job at the regionals if not sooner depending how the current flight situation is. And in 10 years hopefully be at Atlas Air with a couple years of experience.
Ha ha! I hate hot weather so much! I think if I were pouring sweat at DFW, and they told me I was 30th for departure, I’d have taken off my headset, gotten out, and said “that’s it! I’m finding a career as an ice fishing tour guide!” Just kidding of course! This was great advice.
To solo and get 20 hours of flight time, I'm only 15 so I can't get too much done, but I think this is pretty reasonable, and it'll help me get my ppl earlier than most.
After flight school do you think buying your own plane...like a Cessna 172 or 152 and getting up to 1500 hours that way can be a faster way to get to the regionals? or do you think they would much rather see that time as a CFI? Love the videos...they have been a huge inspiration in starting my aviation career!
Goal for this year is to finish my check ride within the next few weeks since I got a letter of discontinuance due to weather and start chipping away my instrument rating
I love the new editing style though I think it needs some slight adjustments. I think the colour correction makes you look like a bit of a ghost and I think the SFX are too loud. All in all though, a definite step up. Keep it up and tell your editor he's doing great.

I want to become a 777 family pilot for Emirates
I want to join a good flight school in Brussels then complete my flight hours to become a charter airline pilot for Ryanair or Flydubai and do the 2000-3000 hours required to join Emirates
@@alihaidersyed6031 It is a pretty straight forward way to getting to the flag carriers. No need to fly parachuters or instruct.
I know
Hey, which school have you looked at?
@@JA-rk9cg It is called "Egnatia Aviation Academy" and they claim to be one of the Top 10 flight schools in Europe. They ask a little more than most flight schools, but from what I saw it is definitely worth every penny as the have a fleet full of diamond aircraft and their facilities are excellent.

Great advice I have been following the same track. 2am start time twin turbine part 105 jumpers. Closer to that goal 777
Happiness is seeing a new video drop fr 74 Gear!
You have the best out look on life in general and of course piloting. Content like this is so up-lifting I wish UA-cam was around in the '70's....

Thank you for your videos.
That's wise and sound advice for anyone in anything they want to do. Set the long-term goal, and work backwards in planning. You've got look at what you need to accomplish the end goal and then look at what you need to get those things you need for it. It's a serious of steps in a progression toward the end goal. And especially early on in the process things will be very tough. I know from my own experience in working toward my own major goal, I'm not a pilot nor do I want to be, but the principle of working toward doable goals is the same. And as you make progress it usually gets a little easier to accomplish. As for surviving the tough times, keeping your eye on your goal really does help, you can bear amazing difficulty when you think of it as a necessary step toward the goal.

Great video!! My goal for the end of 2019 is to have my instrument and commercial written done. Have my ppl and working on my imstrument rateing. I have 15 hours now and my written done.
Helpful advice. Thanks!
Thanks for this lovely video. I am a Class 3 flight instructor (in Canada) with 500hrs and my goal is to move to a 3rd tier carrier and gain 500hrs more (1000TT) on twin turbine aircraft (King Air, Beach 1900 etc.). Blessings and good wishes to all who read this.
thanks I am glad you enjoyed it Joshua... with 500 hours you are well on your way... let me know if you have any pilot question I can help with and thanks for subscribing to 74 gear
Saved this to a playlist so I can remember what to do once I get to the age of getting my private license. (I'm 13)
@@74gear thank you I will ask if I need any!
Edit: Im also planning to start training once im 15.
Love the new Intro!
I am 38yrs OLD CPL with 410 flight hours, this year, I do plan to complete CFI and gain 800hours and 2020 to complete 1500 hours and ATPL and my A320 type rating
Kelsey, this good advice for any profession
Commercial/instrument/multi-single pilot: 260 hours: haven’t been in an airplane in 8 years: 38 years old: 2019: to become a CFI/pursue a career in aviation and finally leave my job
Hey Kelsey.. are you comfortable with doing some kind of vlog style video's? Things like what location you are... and where you're heading. Maybe some flight deck video's (take off, landings, 747 cockpit tour?) Like Kent Wein channel for example. .... I''m just throwing up a ball... of course you.. and your company & colleagues must be comfortable with this.
Beautiful video. Very well made and professional, thanks 🙏🏻👍🏻✋🏻❤️
thanks Lala... I am trying to improve the quality on some of the newer videos but I am glad you are enjoying it.
One of my buddies is now a first officer at American Airlines. On his off days while still a first officer at the regionals he’d go out with a buddy who had access to Cessna citation. They’d go on trips all the time with my buddy as PIC to get a jump start on his hours. definitely got him to the majors a lot faster. Not many people have connections and access to stuff like this, but this is a perfect example of using your resources to your advantage!
Wishing good luck to everyone pursuing a life of flying!!
New Year, same awesome content!
Goals. Take CPL writen in two weeks. Take CPL checkride in 30 days. Get multi add on within 2 weeks of that. Then find my first paying flight gig.
Good stuff man!
74 Gear Very informative! Reminds me to keep grinding one step at a time.
Going after my commercial license start next week 2019 goals
My goal for this year is to get my Ppl. But even if I don't being close to finishing it will be fine.
I love your videos! :) 💕💕👍👍
so i want to be at 250 hours by the end of this year, 2019. so thats 6 months left at the start of july. that leaves me with 120 days after i finish enrolling in my chosen flight school not including weekends. so im going to have to fly for a minimum of 2.1 hours a day monday through friday to reach that goal.
Well did u achieve ur goal?
Waking up in the north...clearing snow...flying a plane with a bearly working heater for $12hr.. you didn't work for Cape Air did you? XD
And my goals, get my ATP this year and get a line as a captain. cheers!
no I didn't fly for cape air something similar though. Thanks for listing out your goals and subscribing.
I really don’t understand why so many airlines insist on a college degree. Do they think it makes the candidate more well rounded? It seems it would be so much more practical for students to pay for some community college courses in whatever mathematics and science classes are necessary for understanding how airplanes work, and greatly reduce their student debt load.
degree's are a thing of the past. several airline pilots have told me (including my dad who flies for american) i rather invest more in my flight training to get more quality training then spend another 100k for college.
@@vram745 that makes sense. As long as a pilot understands basic physics of flight, meteorology, and physiological factors, that should be sufficient. I could not care less if my pilot has a 4 year degree and some irrelevant classes in organic chemistry, botany, or early American literature.
@@deeanna8448 there are no requirements for the degree either. A pilot could have a degree in psychology.
I dont either. The "right of passage" with the degree has been around since degrees and flight training were affordable for people wanting to work hard and follow the dream. Realistically these days, a degree and flight school together is going to put someone in debt around $200k. Or unless you just have filthy rich parents who can help you out. Who wants to do that? Nobody who is sane. I always thought of a pilot as a trade like anything else that doesnt require a degree. Unfortunately there are a lot of talented and well rounded individuals out there who cant achieve their dreams because its monetarily unaffordable.
My goal by this time next year is to have my CFI, and have atleast 700 hours of flight time. In 3 years my goal is to have my first job at the regionals if not sooner depending how the current flight situation is. And in 10 years hopefully be at Atlas Air with a couple years of experience.
Cessna Caravan is my goal, just having issues with the medical, cleared for class 2 in Lebanon but can only get a class 2 basic here in Australia
Do a video on WHAT IN YOUR PILOT BAG
that may be something I eventually do...
Your the best, HUGE inspiration to me! Love the videos 😀.
First flight of 2019 to be a solo, get my license, go to ATP, get all of my ratings/certifications, and get my first pilot job.
Ha ha! I hate hot weather so much! I think if I were pouring sweat at DFW, and they told me I was 30th for departure, I’d have taken off my headset, gotten out, and said “that’s it! I’m finding a career as an ice fishing tour guide!” Just kidding of course! This was great advice.
Thank you for great advices!
To solo and get 20 hours of flight time, I'm only 15 so I can't get too much done, but I think this is pretty reasonable, and it'll help me get my ppl earlier than most.
THANKYOU FOR HELPING!
After flight school do you think buying your own plane...like a Cessna 172 or 152 and getting up to 1500 hours that way can be a faster way to get to the regionals? or do you think they would much rather see that time as a CFI? Love the videos...they have been a huge inspiration in starting my aviation career!
Goal for this year is to finish my check ride within the next few weeks since I got a letter of discontinuance due to weather and start chipping away my instrument rating
I love the new editing style though I think it needs some slight adjustments. I think the colour correction makes you look like a bit of a ghost and I think the SFX are too loud. All in all though, a definite step up. Keep it up and tell your editor he's doing great.
@@74gear No worries. I'm a big fan of the channel😊
