baltic aviation academy

yesterday i was @baltic aviation academy - they had an open door day. it was about pilot work and piloting. how to become, what are the requirements, etc. it was so entertaining and interesting to see real flight simulators and fire simulator! i learnt that pilot job is not only about the knowledge and capacity of piloting - it's personality and confidence. i've always wanted to become a pilot (this can be a bit funny for you) but i'm not sure about my sight - it's really poor.
in the end there was a quiz - who will fly with flight simulator. i didn't win this opportunity and it was really really upseting. but i still believe that one day i will fly into that cockpit not in the simulator, in the real aircraft! :D
in the airbus a320 cockpit - flight simulator. everything looks like in the real plane!

 in boeing 737 simulator. sitting in the pilot's seat!

right: fire simulator - a copy of a plane to exercise with fire and smoke on the aircraft.

sorry for the shaky and instagramish quality of the pictures - i forgot to take my camera with me!

and something for fun: an amazing boeing's landing in the saint martin airport. omg, i want to visit that place!

    1. ahaa, aš tikiu, kad nelengva. ir šiaip iš vakar kalbėjusių studentų galima buvo suprast, kad tikrai nėra lengvas kelias. bet vis tiek, svarbu siekt savo tikslų, kad ir kaip bebūtų!
      ir šiaip, smagu turėt tokių draugų - būsimų pilotų! :))
