Student Pilot's Must Haves

Check out this video!

I have some suggestions for your gear setup. You don't need the whole kit, as some individual items offer better quality. Let me know if you’d like help finding the right gear for you

When Should I Start Flight Training?

There are many excellent online ground schools, but I recommend Sporty's because I used it for my private pilot training. The private pilot edition also includes the sport pilot curriculum, so you're getting a two-for-one deal.

When checking out, please use the media code: FLT11513. Instructions are provided below.

This is a comprehensive self-study course designed for you to complete all flight and ground lesson assignments before starting your flight training. While it's highly recommended to finish these assignments ahead of time, it’s NOT mandatory.

 

You can choose to work on the flight and ground lessons concurrently with your flight training. However, the more you can study independently in advance, the better prepared you will be.

Time is money!

Prepare For Each Lesson

1:6 Ratio = For every hour of flight, plan for 5-6 hours of self-study. 

​

Coming prepared for a lesson ensures you do not spend expensive hobbs time (airplane rental time) learning basic concepts in the cockpit.
