Welcome to Squawk 7001 - A Podcast channel for Pilots in the making.

Todays talk looks at the tough parts of teaching in pilot training and how students think and learn. It compares how pilots are trained all over the world and gives advice for those who want to learn to fly in other countries. 

It also talks about the good things about learning to fly in Europe and how to change a license from other countries to India.

The chat also lines up flying programs with what the Indian DGCA needs. It discusses how different types of planes change how you learn and the gap between the number of pilots trained and the number who get jobs.

It also points out that flight training and airlines don't work together enough.

Lastly, it looks at how ready the flight training sector is for the future demand for pilots and what jobs might come up.

The talk ends with some wise advice for those who want to become pilots and information about the help and services Aviacons offers to those starting their journey in aviation.
