Pilot, Audrey Maame Esi Swatson achieved her dreams of becoming a commercial pilot at 21 years.<\/p>\n
Moreover, she obtained her commercial license in 2018. However, the young lady had her first experience as an assistant pilot when she was only 18 years.<\/p>\n
According to Audrey, her first encounter was quite unpleasant.<\/p>\n
She spoke about it in an interview with Frankie 5 on This Is Gospel. According to her, it was a moment of joy at the thought of moving an aircraft but that joy soon turned into discomfort on her introductory flight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was really scared and I couldn\u2019t imagine myself adding force to it for the aircraft to be off the ground. It was nice in the beginning but later in the flight for my first day, I was feeling airsick. I was sweating. I wanted to really throw up\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
However, Audrey managed to overcome the discomfort to successfully complete her maiden flight with motivation from her mum who was also on board.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut then after we came back, it didn\u2019t come out. I felt better. My mummy asked if [I would continue]. I was like yeah\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Despite the uneasiness during her first flight experience, the young pilot believes that turbulence during flights are nothing.<\/p>\n
Initially, Audrey\u2019s father dissuaded her from pursuing her dreams as a pilot but later had to support her because she was resolute about her aspirations.<\/p>\n
The young female pilot began her training at Mach1 Aviation Academy in Johannesburg, South Africa in 2015.<\/p>\n
She obtained her private pilot license before obtaining a commercial license in 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
