About Dreamer to Pilot

A wide cinematic illustration of a young aspiring pilot standing on a runway at sunrise, looking toward a commercial airliner taking off in the glowing sky. Soft golden light, long shadows, mountains in the distance. Inspirational, calm, and hopeful atmosphere. Professional aviation aesthetic, clean composition, 16:9 aspect ratio.

My journey. Your beginning. The sky ahead.

My name is Joachim, and like most pilots, my story didn’t begin in a cockpit — it began with a feeling.

A feeling that the sky was calling.

I grew up looking at airplanes the way most people look at mountains or oceans: as something bigger than life. Something that pulls you forward before you even understand why. Years later, after training at Pilot Flight Academy and earning my CPL, ME/IR, and frozen ATPL, I realized something important:

The world desperately needs new pilots — but beginners have almost nowhere to start.
No clear guidance.
No simple explanations.
No voice saying, “You belong here.”

That’s why I wrote Into the Sky – From Dreamer to Pilot.


Why I Wrote This Book

When I started my journey, everything felt overwhelming.

ATPL theory was a wall of information.
Flying seemed reserved for “other people.”
And the path to becoming a pilot felt mysterious, expensive, and confusing.

I wanted someone to take me by the hand and say:

“Here’s what it feels like. Here’s what matters. Here’s where to start.”

So I wrote the exact book I wish I had when I began.

A book that blends:

  • Real flight experience

  • ATPL foundations (made simple)

  • The emotional journey of becoming a pilot

  • The mindset every future aviator needs

Not a textbook.
Not a technical manual.
A guide, written by someone who knows what it’s like to start from zero — and push through.


My Mission: Inspire the Next Generation of Pilots

Becoming a pilot isn’t just a career.
It’s a transformation.

It’s confidence.
It’s discipline.
It’s seeing the world differently — from above.

My mission with Dreamer to Pilot is simple:

To make aviation accessible.
To spark the dream early.
To give future pilots the roadmap I never had.

If this book can reach just one young dreamer…
If it can turn doubt into ambition…
If it can plant the seed that one day becomes a cockpit seat…

Then it’s already fulfilled its purpose.


This Isn’t Just My Story — It’s Yours

The moment you open this book, you begin the journey I once took.

Welcome to Dreamer to Pilot.
Welcome to your journey.
Into the sky we go.
