My name is Nathan, and I am currently in the ground school stage of training. Becoming a pilot has always been my most ambitious dream, and I am thrilled to share my training journey with you all, from starting with FTA Global to transferring to L3Harris Airline Academy.
The inspiration for my dream to become an airline pilot originated from an early age when I was fascinated by the idea of soaring through the skies and exploring the world from above. The freedom and adventure that aviation offers has always been enticing to me, and I know deep down that my heart belongs on the flight deck.
My training journey began with FTA and it was an incredible experience where I achieved my first solo flight. However, unfortunate circumstances lead to the closure of FTA and I had the challenge of finding a new academy where I could continue my journey and thrive as a pilot. That is when I found out L3Harris were reaching out to FTA students offering help and assistance.
The transition from FTA to L3Harris was not without its challenges. Adapting to a new training environment and leaving behind friends and colleagues at FTA was tough, but my passion for aviation and the support from my family and friends kept me motivated throughout this difficult time. I knew that every obstacle was a stepping-stone towards achieving my dream.
At L3Harris, I found a nurturing and empowering atmosphere that helped me overcome the challenges I faced. The facilities are state-of-the-art, and the Instructors are experienced professionals who genuinely care about their students' success. They provided personalised attention and guidance which boosted my confidence and performance in the training process.
I discovered the importance of adaptability and resilience; qualities essential for any aspiring aviator. Moreover, I learned the significance of teamwork and communication.
