He told AsiaOne this experience left him so "intrigued with the flying motion" that becoming a pilot is the dream he wanted to pursue.On Thursday , the 17-year-oldAnaqi was on the Recreational Pilot Program and he attended his first day of ground class in January 2023.Not many people get the chance to try out a flight simulator and while it might seem exciting, Anaqi told AsiaOne how this segment of the training program was actually the most difficult.

It takes time, patience and skill to master essential exercises such as landings, doing steep turns and stalls. He also had multiple opportunities to fly a plane and before you know it, he completed his recreational pilot licence.He told AsiaOne that the entire course costs $12,000."To the next batch of aviators, always strive to be best version of yourselves and always stay humble. Be the main character of your story," he advised future students.
