Short video with some explanation in the subtitles in Dutch upon request of some viewers. I'm not a pilot nor an instructor and make videos to review my own flight lessons for future improvement and enjoy making videos for my spouse and family. Below some more advise. If you want to learn more, book a discovery flight lesson with an instructor. You don't need to know or buy anything and can make the flight as short or long as you like. My first flight was only 20 minutes. After that I booked longer. After my first flight I learned from youtube how to read the basic meters and I did other self study, like radio communication and how airports work. I also studied aircraft handbooks for basic info for every new plane type I booked. Just make sure to pick a neat and friendly flight school with good Google reviews for a discovery flight lesson and if you want to sit on the captains seat, never book a sight seeing flight with a random pilot, as most are only there to make hours to get to the airlines, though they can be nice too. As for an instructor I would suggest in asking them why they are an instructor and what their goals are. The best are the ones that enjoy instructing and general aviation, and don't have plans in getting to the jets/airlines or are already there. Others will flee if they can move forward to the airlines which means that you'll be needing a new instructor and getting used to them. Instructing is a great way in making lots of flying hours in a short time. So be cautious in picking an instructor if you like to continue. I have experience with this, so advise to stay at the instructor that you like and doesn't have plans to leave. They are just like humans, with different ways of instructing and characters. Look for a click and thus ask questions! Test the flight school too and look how customer friendly they are. Call them and on site ask questions too, like how many planes they have, how they invoice, if they use a syllabus etc. Pick a school with several planes of the same type and more than 2 instructors. The more the better! So, make sure you have a nice certified instructor sitting besides you, so you have a teacher with you that lets you do more than a random pilot and is proficient to correct you from their right seat, if you start to mess up things. They will help you with everything! Be ready to be a bit overwhelmed of all impressions and info at your first flight. That is fully normal and will stay the first flights. Every pilot once started as a total greenie and remember you don't learn how to walk, bicyle or drive in one day too. Build up muscle memory and be ready to invest in self study too. If you seriously want to start flying lessons, make sure you know exactly what you would like achieve with flying lessons (like sport/private pilot, or make a living out of it and going commerical all the way) and... most important for a start: To have the right medical check done at a designated AME (Aero Medical Examiner) and having the medical certificate, before investing any money in lessons, books and things like a headset and other stuff! Your flight school may advise you regarding an AME and how to prepare for your medical check. If you don't want to look for a pilot license you can take as much trial lessons if you like and just enjoy your airtime! :-) To me it only happened once that they wanted me to buy some sort of a annual membership if I liked to to fly their plane regularly. At most schools this isn't the case. Other advise is to never buy lessons in advance. If you don't like the school or they get bankrupt, you're money may be gone. Just pay on the go and safe money by preparing your flights, studying charts and getting to know the aircraft and procedures at home!
