Welcome to my final trip report for 2023! Firefly ATR-72-500 9M-FYG was my ride to Seletar (XSP) airport Introduction I always wanted to fly either in or out of Seletar Airport and I thought this period was the best time to do so. For now, Firefly is the only airline that operates at this airport but I suspect once Scoot starts operating the ERJ-190 E2, we might see them flying out of this airport, giving Firefly some competition.

There are so many options and so many different paths to obtaining a career in aviation, and it’s often hard to determine the best course of action. However, one of the most common questions I get asked is whether or not to go part 61 (informal instruction) or part 141 (formal and highly regulated).
