Trung Dung said that after graduating from high school, his family oriented him to pursue a career as a pilot. This young man also has a hobby of traveling , exploring many lands and a desire to "conquer the sky", so he was determined to pursue it. Trung Dung started learning basic flying at Aviator College (Aviator Flight Training School, USA) from 2022. "To study at Aviator College, you must meet basic standards in the aviation industry, such as health category 1 according to the operating standards of civil aircraft. In addition, you must meet the English language standards of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) category 4", Trung Dung shared.
Trung Dung is considered a quiet but hard-working and determined boy.

During more than 1.5 years of studying at Aviator College, Trung Dung has completed 3 basic pilot licenses. Here, Trung Dung has learned a lot of knowledge such as: psychology, meteorology, aviation engineering... And the skill that this young man is most fond of is handling situations when encountering rare incidents such as: sudden changes in the weather in a bad direction, broken equipment... "According to my experience, when encountering sudden changes in the weather in a bad direction, I will contact the air traffic controller to ask for information to avoid the storm. In case I cannot continue flying, I must ask for information on the nearest alternate airport to land", Trung Dung shared. During his studies at Aviator College, the most impressive flight for Trung Dung was being able to fly a plane alone to another city during basic training. "Sitting in the cockpit, my foot releasing the brake, my hand pushing the throttle to let the Cherokee PA-28 (light aircraft) take off, that was the happiest feeling I've ever had. That was the moment that made me feel like I was conquering the sky," Trung Dung shared.
Trung Dung has a strong passion for being a pilot.

According to this young man, each pilot must undergo very strict periodic health tests before being able to participate in flight operations.

In addition to his main job as a pilot, Trung Dung is also invited by brands to be a photo model for product advertising campaigns. "Some days I fly 4 legs for about 8 hours, but sometimes less. When I have free time, I proactively arrange to participate in photo modeling. However, my biggest goal is still to become a good pilot. For young people who love the aviation industry, try to train your health and will to conquer your dreams," Trung Dung shared. First officer Nguyen Tuan, who studied with Trung Dung at Aviator College, shared: "Dung is a quiet, introverted guy, at first glance he seems a bit difficult to approach, but the more you interact with him, the more you realize that he is a good, trustworthy friend. Trung Dung is very hard-working, diligent and has many ambitions for the pilot job."
