Hello! first time using this website, but hopfully I can get a better answer regarding holding procedures during IFR training. My question is this ( and this has two questions when entering the hold) ; When entering the hold from a parallel entry, when do you advise ATC when you are entering and becoming established in the hold? My second question is the same concept but during a direct entry.

Are you someone who’s always wanted to take to the skies and become a pilot? The aviation industry is currently facing a major challenge – a shortage of pilots. Airlines are struggling to find enough qualified individuals to meet the growing demand for air travel and fall out from the pandemic, among a host of other issues. But, if anything, that should encourage you to jump headfirst into a training program so you can become an airline pilot.

One of the first aviation tasks you learned was preflighting—that process before every flight by which you ensure that the airplane is airworthy and ready to fly. But what about yourself?

I am interested in your response. In FAR 61 sub. E no person who holds a Private Pilot Certificate may act as Pilot in Command PIC of an aircraft for compensation or hire. What about a person who holds a Private Pilot Certificate and is in the SIC position. Can this person be compensated or for hire? FAR part 91 King Air 200. Our company GOM requires a two Pilot Crew which supersedes the FAR, which the King Air only requires one Pilot.
