Abstract

This qualitative research examines the difficulties encountered by aviation student pilots at a prominent aerospace institution, using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and a purposive sample of five participants. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews revealed five central themes: (1) Balancing Academic Work and Flight Training, highlighting the time management difficulties; (2) Coping Strategies for Academic Performance, focusing on techniques such as taking breaks, seeking spiritual guidance, and using visual aids; (3) Resources and Opportunities for Student-Pilots, emphasizing improvements in submission procedures and communication channels; (4) Collaboration with Industry Partners and Alumni, stressing the value of networking for job applications; and (5) Effective Mentorship Traits, underlining the importance of mentors who are disciplined, present, and supportive. The study’s trustworthiness is enhanced by data triangulation, which includes participant observations, and reflexivity efforts that ensure research integrity. The findings underscore the interplay of academic duties, flight training, and support systems in shaping the aviation education experience. The research highlights the significance of time management, coping mechanisms, tailored opportunities, collaboration, and impactful mentorship for a successful aviation education. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the holistic development of aviation student pilots, focusing on strategies to overcome challenges and improve learning outcomes.
