    Introduction to piloting

    Becoming a pilot may start as a passion or hobby. Many would be pilots could have had a member of their family who is a pilot or in the aviation industry. Living near an airport or traveling by air may also ignite an interest in aviation.

    Regardless of the way of introduction into aviation, many grow up with the dream of finally enrolling for flying lessons.

    It is worth mentioning here, however that having an interest in aviation does not automatically qualify one to be a pilot. For instance, many would be pilots have found out that they cannot endure a few minutes of flying. Potential students may experience the following negative effects during flight: nausea, panic, dread ,fear of heights, need to vomit, etc. This is because the flying environment is very different from life on the ground. For this reason, some flying schools like Kenya School of Flying offer a few introductory flights to gauge a student’s reaction.

    It is important to note however, that some students will get hooked to aviation after flying for the first time!

    Because of the nature and risks of flying, would be students may be taken through aptitude testing. This is a series of tests designed to gauge a person’s personality, ability to react to different situations, problem solving skills and reasoning, to mention a few. An aptitude test will determine if an individual will react promptly and appropriately to certain situations in flight.

    One can start flying lessons at the minimum age of sixteen. The age at which the different flying licences will be issued will be discussed in detail below.

    One can start flying lessons while still in high school.

    A career pilot usually retires at age 65. For this reason, the earlier one starts to fly, the more years he/she will have to work. Having said this, a person who starts his/her aviation journey at age 40 still has 25 years of career flying! Also, attaining age sixty five does not mean that one cannot continue to fly for fun. As long as one is medically fit, he/she can enjoy flying for many years.

    Having a driving licence is not a pre-requisite to joining a flight school.

    A student can start flying lessons while engaged in another proffesion. Flying schools are usually flexible to accomodate working students and fit their lessons early in the mornings, late evenings or even on weekends only. Students who have the time may opt to attend lessons full time (like a formal school) and also make use of the accomodation facilities provided by some flying schools. Learning full time reduces the duration of training.

    There are many risks involved in flying. For this reason, students are required to obtain insurance to cover for any incidences or accidents that may occur.

    The emergence of new security threats has led to the heightening of security measures in and around Kenyan airports. For this reason, student pilots need security clearances and passes to access airports. These are facilitated by the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA).

    Education

    To pursue a career as a pilot, one has to have good grades in school.

    English is the international language of aviation. Therefore having good grades in it is a must. One should also get good scores in Mathematics, Geography and the Sciences (Biology, Chemistry and Physics). A grade of C+ and above in these subjects in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (or its equivalent) is a good foundation.

    Possession of a degree is an added advantage, both at the training stage and job search stage.

    Medical

    Because of the sensitive nature of the job, a pilot’s health is constantly monitored throughout his/her career. Air traffic controllers and cabin crew also undergo periodic medical examinations. For this reason, a number of Aviation Medical Examiners (AMEs) have been authorised to conduct these examinations.

    Aviation Medical Examiners (AMEs)

    An AME is a qualified and licensed medical doctor who has been appointed by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) to conduct medical examinations of fitness of applicants for the issuance or renewal of the licences and ratings.

    A list of KCAA Approved Aviation Medical Examiners is available at the KCAA’s website.

    Tests done at the AME include but are not limited to blood, ear, eye, heart, lung and urine examinations.

    AMEs issue medical certificates to individuals who pass the medical tests.

    Class II Medical Certificate

    A Class II Medical Certificate is required before one can be issued with a:

        -Student’s Pilot Licence: all aircraft and powered-lift.
        -Private Pilots’s Licence: aeroplanes, helicopters and gliders.
        -Commercial Pilot Licence: lighter-than-air.
        -Cabin Crew certificate.

    A Class II Medical certificate is valid for 2 years for those who are 40 years and below and 1 year for those who are above 40 years.

    An AME will issue a Class II Medical Certificate to an individual after conducting a series of tests and examinations. These include:

        –Medical history
        Initially, an AME will ask one about any major illnesses in their past. Any supporting documentation should be carried and shown to the AME. The AME will then make recommedations concerning further tests (if required).
        –Blood test
        Blood tests will check for blood diseases as well as the oxygen carrying capacity of the red blood cells. Conditions like anaemia can also be detected.
        –Ear Examination
        An AME will use normal conversational voice 2 metres behind you. You should be able to hear his/ her voice in each ear, separately.
        For Instrument ratings, a further test called an audiogram is required. This is a test where you show that you have heard sounds at different frequencies.
        –Eyesight

        Eye examination will include, but is not limited to:

            –Colour Vision
            “Normal colour vision” is tested by reading Ishihara Test Plates. These are a series of numbers made up of coloured dots of varying colour and size, easily seen by someone with normal colour vision. 13 to 17 colour plates will be tested for each eye.
            One can still gain a Class II Medical Certificate if he/she fails to read these plates, but such a person will be limited to day flying only. This limitation can be removed if one passes an approved colour lantern test i.e. a series of coloured lights that must be identified correctly.
            The Ishihara test was designed to test for inherited colour blindness but is also useful in checking whether people have developed colour blindness, as a result of macular or optic nerve diseases.

            –Distance Vision

            Your distance vision will be measured by comparing yours with that of an “average sighted person”, i.e. a person with “Normal Vision”. Normal vision used to be called 20/20 vision. It is now called 6/6 vision. 20 is distance in feet while 6 is distance in metres.
            For the distance vision test, one will be required to see and read lines of letters on a chart (LogMAR vision chart or Snellen vision chart), placed 6 metres (20 feet) away. The letters in these charts are arranged in lines that become smaller the further down you look.
            The first number in the visual acuity measurement refers to how far away you are from the chart, i.e. 6 metres (20 feet) and the second number is the distance from the chart at which a “normal / average sighted person” would see it. For example, if your vision is 6/9 it means that you can see, at 6 metres, what a “normal” person can see at 9 metres from the chart. That is, your central vision is three quarters of normal.
            To obtain a Class II Medical Certificate, ones’ visual acuity must be at least 6/12 in each eye separately and 6/6 using both eyes together, with or without glasses or contact lenses, i.e. correction.

            –Eye Function
            One must not have acute or chronic disease in the eyes or their surrounding tissues. One must have normal fields of vision and must not suffer from double vision.

            –Near Vision
            Near vision is measured using a “standard near vision (hand held) eye chart”. This chart has paragraphs of text that are smallest at the top and largest at the bottom. “Normal” near vision is N6. “N” refers to near while ‘6’ refers to the size of the letters. “N5” is better than “N9”, for example.
            On the standard near vision eye chart one must be able to read the N5 print at between 30 and 50 centimetres and the N14 print at 100 centimetres, with or without correction.
        –Heart function
        An ElectroCardiogram (EKG or ECG) measures electrical impulses passing through ones’ heart. It can show disorders of the heart’s rhythm or conduction of impulses. It can also show lack of blood supply to the heart muscle. If any of these conditions show in an ECG, further tests and a cardiologist’s report will be required.
        –Lung Function Test
        Lung Fuction Test, also known as Spirometry, tests ones’ ability to breath in deeply and to expel air from the lungs. Respiratory problems like asthma call for this test.
        –Physical Examination
        A general physical check covering blood pressure, the lungs, the heart, the stomach, the limbs and the nervous system, will be done to ensure that all is functioning well.
        –Urine test
        A urine test looks for blood, protein or sugar (diabetes)- in urine.

    Pilot Licences and Pilot Ratings

    There are number of aviation schools in Kenya that provide pilot training in fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. Successful completion leads to the acquisition of the following Pilot Licences and Pilot Ratings:

    Student Pilot’s Licence (SPL)

    Prior to commencing flying lessons one must obtain a Student Pilot’s Licence. While it is mainly used for flying lessons, a Student Pilot’s Licence can also be held while one is studying to renew an expired licence. To be eligible for an SPL one must:

    1. be at least 16 years old.
    2. be in possession of a valid and current Class II Medical Certificate.

    In addition to the above, flying schools in Kenya may also require some or all of the following:

    1. A pass in ‘O’ levels, with at least a C+ in English, Geography, Mathematics and another science subject (Biology, Chemistry or Physics). Possession of a degree is an advantage.
    2. A Birth Certificate, Identity Card, or Passport.
    3. Passport photos (normal size and 2 by 2.5 cm).

      4. Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL)

      Initial pilot training is geared towards obtaining a Private Pilot’s Licence. This is basically the first licence in piloting and is a pre-requisite for obtaning subsequent licences. Training takes an average of four to six months. To qualify for a PPL one must:

      1. be at least 17 years old for an aircraft licence.
      2. be at least 16 years old for a glider or balloon licence.
      3. demonstrate ability to read, write and understand the English language.
      4. be in possession of a valid and current Class II Medical Certificate.
      5. be in possession of a valid and current Student Pilot’s Licence.
      6. achieve a minimum of 40 flight hours, of which at least 15 hours must be solo, and at least 5 hours of the solo must be cross-country flying.
      7. pass all the required theory examinations:
          -AirLaw.
          -Human Performance.
          -Meteorology.
          -Navigation including plotting.
          -Theory of Flight and Aircraft Performance.
      8. pass the PPL General Flight Test.

      On obtaining a Private Pilots Licence, one can fly the type of Airplane (PPLA) or Helicopter (PPLH) he/she has qualified in, but not for hire or reward.

      Commercial Pilot’s Licence (CPL)

      This is the second stage of pilot training and takes approximately eight to twelve months. To qualify for a CPL one must:

      1. be at least 18 years old.
      2. demonstrate ability to read, write and understand the English language.
      3. be in possession of a valid and current Class 1 Medical Certificate (heavier than air).
      4. be in possession of a valid and current Private Pilot’s Licence.
      5. achieve a minimum of 200 flight hours. The initial 40 hours obtained in PPL training will count towards the hours required in CPL training, i.e. a PPL holder with 40 hours requires 160 additional hours.
      6. pass all the required theory examinations.
      7. pass the CPL General Flight Test.

      A Class II Medical Certificate can be held for a Commercial Pilot’s Licence -lighter than air category.

      On obtaining a Commercial Pilot’s Licence, one can fly the type of Airplane or Helicopter (CPLH) he/she has qualified in, for hire or reward.

      Multi-Engine Rating (ME)

      This is an advanced stage of flight training that allows a pilot to fly an aircraft with more than one engine. Some flying schools offer ME training together with the Instrument Rating course. These two courses prepare students for commercial airline operations after the CPL qualification. To qualify for a Multi-Engine Rating one must:

      1. have a minimum of 20 hours simulator training and 25 hours flight time in a Multi Engine aircraft.
      2. meet the knowledge, skill and experience requirements needed for an Multi-Engine Rating.
      3. pass the aircraft technical type rating knowledge test.
      4. pass the skills (flight) test on the type of aircraft to be used for the Multi-Engine Rating flight.

      Also refer to Aircraft Type Rating / Type Rating.

      On obtaining a Multi-Engine Rating, a pilot can fly the multi-engined aircraft for which he/she has been qualified in.

      Instrument Rating (IR)

      This is an advanced stage of training that allows a pilot to fly solely on instruments. Additionally, an IR is required to operate aircraft of 2,300 kilograms and above. To qualify for an Instrument Rating one must:

      1. be a holder of a current and valid PPL, CPL or ATPL.
      2. be in possession of a current and valid Class 1 Medical Certificate.
      3. meet the knowledge, skill and experience requirements needed for an Instrument Rating.
      4. pass the aircraft technical type rating knowledge test.
      5. pass the skills (flight) test on the type of aircraft to be used for the Instrument Rating flight.

      On obtaining an Instrument Rating, a pilot can fly the type of aircraft which he/she has been qualified in, under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).

      Turbine Rating

      Turbine Rating, allows a pilot to fly a turbine powered aircraft. Refer to Aircraft Type Rating / Type rating for the requirements of this endorsement. On obtaining Turbine Rating, one can fly the type of turbine powered aircraft for which he/she is qualified in.

      Aircraft Type Rating / Type Rating

      Aircraft Type Rating (or Type Rating) allows a pilot (with PPL, CPL or ATPL) to operate an aircraft for which he/she has been rated / checked out in. CPLs or ATPLs are not issued unless they are endorsed with an aircraft type rating. Type Rating endorsements can be for Pilot in Command or Co-pilot. To qualify for a Type Rating one must:

      1. meet the knowledge, skill and experience requirements needed for the Type Rating.
      2. have completed flight training on the type of aircraft for which the rating is sought.
      3. pass the Technical Type Rating examination on the specific type of aircraft.
      4. pass a flight test / check-out on the type of aircraft for which the rating is sought.

      On obtaining a Type Rating, one can fly the type of the aircraft qualified in – under the specific endorsement.

      Night Rating

      Night Rating allows a pilot to operate an aircraft at “night”. To qualify for a Night Rating one must:

      1. be in possession of a valid and current Private Pilot Licence with at least 50 hours of logged time.
      2. have least 20 hours as Pilot in Command (PIC) of which 10 hours must have been gained after obtaining a PPL.
      3. have completed at least five hours of night flying.
      4. have completed five take-offs and five full stop landings as PIC at night.
      5. have completed all the practical and theory learning requirements needed for qualification of a night rating.
      6. pass the practical test required for the issuance of a night rating.

      On obtaining a Night Rating, one can fly the type of the aircraft qualified in, at night. The term ”Night” in aviation, refers to the period starting 1 hour after sunset and ending 1 hour before sunrise.

      Certifed Flight Instructor rating (CFI) / Certified Flight Instructor Instruments (CFII)

      A Certifed Flight Instructor rating (CFI) / Certified Flight Instructor Instruments (CFII) is a rating required by a pilot in order to offer flight instruction to students. To qualify for a CFI / CFII one must:

      1. be a holder of a current and valid CPL or ATPL and Aircraft Type Rating appropriate to the Flight Instructor rating sought.
      2. be a holder of an Instrument Rating if applying for an instrument instructor rating (CFII).
      3. be a holder of a valid and current Class 1 Medical Certificate.
      4. have completed all the practical and theory learning requirements needed for qualification of a CFI / CFII rating.
      5. pass the General Flight Test in the category and class of aircraft for which flight instruction is sought.

      On obtaining a CFI / CFII rating, one can offer flight instruction under the category and class of aircraft for which endorsement is achieved – for reward or compensation.

      Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence (ATPL)

      An Airline Transport Pilot Licence is the highest achievable civilian pilot licence. One must have this licence to act as pilot in command in an aircraft with nine or more seats, or a multi-crew aircraft. To qualify for an ATPL one must:

      1. be at least 21 years old.
      2. demonstrate ability to read, write and understand the English language.
      3. be in possession of a valid and current Class 1 Medical Certificate.
      4. be in possession of a valid and current Commercial Pilot’s Licence.
      5. be in possession of a valid and current Instrument Rating (IR).
      6. achieve a minimum of 1500 flight hours (airplane), or the aeronautical experience required for the aircraft category.
      7. pass the practical test applicable to areas of operation that apply to the aircraft category to be endorsed on licence.
      8. pass the General Flight Test required for the type of aircraft to be endorsed on the licence.

      On obtaining a Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence, one can act as pilot in command in an airline – under the specific endorsement.

      Foreign Licence conversion

      Some students prefer to pursue their flight training abroad. South Africa and the US are popular destinations for Kenyan student pilots. On return to Kenya, such students are required to convert their foreign licences to Kenyan ones, in order to fly in Kenya. Certain flight schools offer foreign licence conversions.

       

      The cost of flight training in Kenya

      Learning to fly is a costly endevour. However, this challenge shouldn’t keep aspiring pilots from achieving their dreams. With the will and the passion, one can obtain funding to finance their flying.

      Flying fees can either be paid all at once or in stages as one progresses with the training. Flying schools also have different paying plans.

      Sources of funds for flight training

      Some sources of funding include:

        1. -Personal funds
        2. -Loans
        3. -Scholarships
        4. -Military training
        5. -Company training

      Student pillots that choose the military training route must be prepared to serve their country for some time before being discharged to pursue civilian flying.
      Some airlines (companies) also choose to train pilots to fly their aircraft (Company funding). The funds used for flight training are usually recovered from the future salaries of such pilots.
       

      Factors that influence the cost of flight training

      The cost of pilot training in Kenya varies according to various factors. These factors include but are not limited to:
      -the flight school:

          1. Flight training costs vary from school to school. However, it is important to note that cheap doesn’t always equate to quality.

      -the type of licence:

          1. Commercial Pilots Licence requires more hours than PPL, hence more expensive.

      -the type of rating:

          1. Some ratings require less hours to achieve than others, hence cheaper and vice versa.

      -the type of aircraft:

          1. Single engine planes use less fuel than multi-engined ones. Less fuel translates to low costs. Helicopter lessons are more expensive compared to airplane flight lessons.

      Also see the cost of hiring an aircraft in Kenya

          1. .

      -fuel costs:

          1. Fluctuations in global fuel prices directly affect flight training costs.

      -availability of funds:

          1. This is by far the biggest challenge facing student pilots. Students may take breaks from their lessons as they look for additional funds for flight training. This may lead to lengthening of the course and hence higher costs.

      -alternative training methods:

          1. Use of flight simulators in training is generally cheaper than flying the actual aircraft.

      -ability of students to grasp concepts (hence duration of flight training):

        1. Some students may take longer to grasp the lessons being taught. More hours flown in training converts to higher training costs and vice versa.

       

      The cost of flight training in Kenya

      Below are approximate costs of flight training in Kenya. (*Several factors affect these costs).
      -Private Pilot’s Licence Airplane (PPL):

      -Robinson R44 Helicopter

        1. approximately Kshs 60,000/= per hour.

       

      Factors that influence the duration of flight training

      -the flight school:

          1. Some flight schools take their time in training students. Others may be more concerned with churning out graduates at a fast rate. Some flight schools hire and fire flight instructors with increased regularity leading to shortage or lack of flight instructors.

      -the type of course / rating:

          1. Each piloting course requires a minimum amount of hours of flight training.

      -availability of aircraft:

          1. Some flight schools have a few aircraft which need to be shared amongst a big student population. Aircraft may also be grounded for repairs and service. This may prolong training time.

      -availability of funds:

          1. This is by far the biggest challenge facing student pilots. Students may take breaks from their lessons as they look for additional funds for flight training. This may lead to lengthening of the course duration.

      -weather:

          1. This is a major factor that influences flight training. Unfavourable weather may lead to cancellation of training flights.

      -ability of students to grasp concepts (hence duration of flight training):

          1. Some students may take longer to grasp the lessons being taught.

      -student availability:

        1. Working students may elect to take their lessons part time. They therefore end up taking longer time to complete the courses as compared to full time students.
