what skills are needed for a pilot?

Question

what is needed?

Answer 1

Multi tasking
stay calm under pressure
able to listen to listen to very unclear radio transmissions
able to work in a team
quick reactions
you have to be willing to follow ALL rules
if you want to be commercial pilot, you must be a plesant person to work with

and ofcourse, you must have the desire to fly. some people think they have this, but change their minds once in the program

Answer 2

As a trainee pilot, I can't know for sure, but already I find that being able to handle a few things at the same time comes in handy. e.g. handling the radio on the final turn before landing etc.
Of course motivation is important to encourage your instructor (especially if he's teaching you the same thing for the 10th time!) as is calm and being able to listen and learn. Practice doing mental calculations for Navigation, but that will come later.
Also later comes the theoretical test, so a pilot's PPL manual will tell you what you need to know.
No particular school level is needed for a private pilot's license.
The most important thing is to love flying and airplanes. Don't get into it for any other reason.

Answer 3

If you can drive a car with a clutch and manual transmission, you have the skills to fly a small airplane. The rest comes with proper training.

Answer 4

The main skill that tends to not be as teachable is the hand eye coordination for landing, if you can t get that down then you won t be considered safe enough to fly solo.

If you ve got that the other and more challenging aspect is learning and applying the incredible amount of procedural, systems, and weather knowledge required to fly safely.

It s a challenge but well worth it. The biggest asset is the enduring desire to fly and work at it.
