Pilot Training - PPL Lesson With a Few Surprises ! ✈️

How hard can it actually be to get a Private Pilot License in the UK (PPL)? I'm about to find out. Welcome to the very first episode of Pilot Darren. I wanted to be a Pilot since I was at school and somehow ended up working in Television! So, I finally decided to live my dream and booked Private Pilot lessons. This isn't a polished highlight reel—it’s a record of my actual first hours in the cockpit of a Piper PA-28 over my first couple of lessons, showing all my gains and mistakes. In this episode, you’ll see a few unexpected encounters and challenges I didn't see coming, like a STALL alarm and nearly going into a Spiral Dive! I’m documenting my entire journey from zero hours to my Private Pilot’s License (PPL), including the 9 exams, the medical, the kit you need, the cost, the stuff you need to know and of course the flying. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to start flight training from scratch, you’re in the right place. Follow along with me and my incredible flight instructor, Justyn, and the team at KittyHawk Aerodrome. Subscribe to follow my journey and see if I actually make it to my first solo flight! #StudentPilot #PPL #LearningToFly
