Introduction

Disclaimer: I am not a flight instructor. The information in this book should not be used as a substitute for actual flight training. The advice I relate in this book should only be viewed as information to help support and enhance your flight school experience.

Like many people, you may have an interest in aviation and have told yourself that you will get your pilot’s license ... someday. Thanks to this book, you can make your aviation dreams a reality!

The purpose of this book is to serve as a guide to help any new flight student help make the most of their experience. This book helps flight students plan and organize a strategy to get a private pilots’ license. The goal of this book is to help students maximize the value of their time and money and take the steps needed to create the best and least stressful outcome possible. This book discusses requirements to become a pilot in both the United States and Canada, so aspiring pilots in both countries can both benefit from the insights in this book.

This book is meant to benefit anyone who wishes to gain the insights of an actual, private pilot. The information in this book is the stuff that I wish someone would have told me before I began flight school. I wrote this book to help make it easier for others to complete their flight school training with the best outcome possible.

As a private pilot myself, I hope to share my trials and tribulations, and the things I learned along the way on this journey. In writing this book, I hope to help anyone seeking their pilots’ license in the safest, easiest, most cost-effective, and most enjoyable way possible.
