Piloting: Going Commercial

Hello Steemians, @ceepee is here again :)
I really don't want to go into too much details on my experience/journey into my world as a pilot.

But the urge to write is so strong as I'm busy reading other people's experiences. Lol.

So, let's take a little walk into my my little world.

The transformation from a commercial pilot fresh from flying school with 250hrs flying hours experience, flying a propeller 4 sitter 2 engine plane(Piper Seneca) to a jet engine, 120-140 seater passenger plane

This is a huge opportunity with more added responsibility. So I had just 21 days to get certified to fly the Boeing 737.

I have a lot of stuff to get into my head in this short period. Now the race against time starts.

It started with the ground section, where you will have a written and oral test.

I had to familiarize myself with all the instruments and switches (in the cockpit)and what to do in case of emergency happens to forestall catastrophic outcome.

I also had the memorise items( we call them memory verse), in case of emergencies.

Timing is of essence here as you have only seconds to react. I needed to know my engine, even though I don't have a mechanical engineering background.

So here I am , the only lady in a class of 6 but fear of failure continually push me to perform harder than I would have.
It paid off as I passed my writen and oral test.

But this is just the beginning. I still have harder hurdles to jump ahead; the need to put all these theories into practical.

Welcome to my world. Lady pilot. Super grateful and privileged to be here :)
