Avi's First Solo: fly the route across Asia

After your METAR and flight maths practice, take a break in the cockpit. Take off from Avi's flight school in Bandung and fly via Jakarta (CGK), Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Brunei and Manila to Hong Kong and Taipei (TPE). A final checkride waits on a mysterious island, and once you pass it, every city comes back in a storm.

  • The pilot cards of Avi's First Solo: Avi's propeller plane, Kiki's helicopter and Lou's jet with their speed and control ratings

    Choose your aircraft

    Avi's propeller plane lands on runways and Kiki's helicopter on helipads. After the checkride, Lou's jet joins and flies ILS approaches with the gear down.

  • Avi in flight with an air traffic control altitude clearance on screen

    Fly by the book

    Hold the altitude air traffic control gives you (“Climb and maintain 5000 ft”), watch your fuel and handle gusts on landing.

  • The passport page of the Flight Log with city stamps

    Collect your stamps

    Ten passport stamps, from Jakarta's Monas to Taipei 101 and the island at the end. Each one takes the three airmail letters hidden on that leg.

  • The hangar of Avi's First Solo with the pilot's rank and its gold stripes

    Earn your stripes

    Start as a Cadet, earn your first stripe as a Student Pilot and work your way through eleven ranks to Chief Pilot, which unlocks the Aviation Connect livery. 34 badges wait in your Flight Log.

Top crew

A weekly top list of callsigns

Practise a few minutes a day and climb the list. Compare yourself with students across Asia, by the callsign you choose, never by your name.

  • A weekly list that starts fresh every Monday at midnight, Singapore time, and an all-time list.
  • The week counts Avi Points from practice and better test results, up to 15 a day plus the streak bonus. Never an application.
  • Your callsign is on it from the day you choose it, and you can switch it off at any time.

How it works

Three steps

  1. A student comparing flight schools on a laptop and taking notes

    Create your free account

    Your email, a password, what we should call you, your country and the month and year you were born. Confirm with the code we email you, and your member area opens. Your full name and phone come only when you ask for a call or sign up for a seminar.

  2. Two students in an airliner simulator, thumbs up

    Take the full aptitude test, see your Smart Match and compare schools at your own pace.

  3. The view from the cockpit on the runway before take-off

    Decide with the facts

    If flying is for you, your advisor helps you apply. If it is not, you found out early, and it cost you nothing.

Questions

Good to know

  1. Q.01

    Is it really free?

    100% free school advice

    Yes. Our school advisory is free for students. Partner flight schools pay us a fee when a student we helped enrolls. Optional paid services, such as Family Care, are separate, and only if you choose them.

  2. Q.02

    What happens with my data?

    Shared only when you ask

    We use it to match you with schools and to help you when you apply. We share it with a school only when you ask us to. You can download or delete your data in your account at any time. Read our privacy policy

  3. Q.03

    Do I have to apply anywhere?

    No

    No. You can take the tests, look at schools and compare them without applying anywhere.

  4. Q.04

    Does the test tell me whether I can become a pilot?

    No pass or fail

    No. It shows your strengths and the areas worth practising, never a pass or fail. Whether you can train is decided by the Class 1 medical and by the school's own selection. Your advisor can help you read your result.

  5. Q.05

    What are Avi Points?

    Points for learning

    Avi Points are what you earn in your crew logbook: for practice rounds, finished tests, a complete profile and steps such as your first call with an advisor. They raise your crew rank and bring badges closer. Points and badges you have earned stay yours. Practice counts up to a daily limit.

  6. Q.06

    Who sees my crew card?

    You decide

    Your crew card and your logbook are for you and our team. Your callsign appears in the Top Crew, where other students in their free accounts see it with your country’s flag, your crew rank and your Avi Points from practice and tests. Never your name, your age or your school. You can switch it off at any time.

  7. Q.07

    How does the Top Crew work?

    Fresh every Monday

    There is a weekly list that starts fresh every Monday at midnight, Singapore time, and an all-time list. The week counts Avi Points from practice and better test results, up to 15 a day plus the streak bonus; the all-time list also counts your first finish of each test. So the list shows effort and never an application. Your callsign is on it from the day you choose it, unless you switch it off.
