My name is Farandi Angesti, I am 18 Years old and I am a student from Indonesia. 14DAYPILOT help me to get all my Rating. Now I am a commercial pilot, when I got my commercial pilot and I was really emotional that tears came out from my eyes because it really changed my life.
I am an Indonesian Commercial Pilot rated in King Air 350 and Hawker 900 converting my ICAO license and eventually getting FAA ME Commercial. In 14DAYPILOT program, I had to be well prepared with the topic before I got to the class so I'd need to enforce self-study habit. Once I started the flight portion, i flew for 3-4 hours a day, followed by another ground session for the oral prep. That was a very distinctive experience compared to my previous training in Indonesia."
