Big Life Update + Story Time : My 11-Year-Old Learning To Fly A Plane & Fly Dubai Incident Scared Us

YouTube Description ✈️ A little Big Update from our family! ❤️✈️ Abir has officially joined his school’s Learning to Fly Club, and we are so excited to see where this new journey takes him. He’ll first be learning the basics of flying through a flight simulator, with around 12–14 simulator lessons before moving on to practical flying lessons as he progresses. For now, it’s all about learning, exploring and having fun with aviation. We’ve chosen to introduce him to flying at this age not because we’ve decided his career for him, but because early exposure can help children discover what genuinely interests them. Aviation brings together subjects like maths, physics, technology, geography and problem-solving, while also developing confidence, discipline, communication and decision-making skills. It can also give children a better understanding of the different career and subject options available to them as they get older. And of course, in this vlog, we also talk about the recent Flydubai incident involving Captain Smit Machchhar, what happened and our thoughts on it — especially as Abir is beginning to explore aviation himself. So this vlog is a mix of parenting, education, aviation, a new beginning for Abir and a serious aviation story that really made us think. ❤️ We’re incredibly excited to watch him learn, ask questions and discover where this journey takes him. ✈️💙 #learningtofly #aviation #flying #flighttraining #youngaviator #aviationenthusiast #pilottraining #flydubai #aviationnews #parenting #education #careers #stemeducation #futurepilot #familyvlog #vlog
