Now that you've decided to become a pilot, what happens next?
Flight training can feel complicated and overwhelming, with new information and many unknowns. Becoming A Pilot takes you by the hand, removes the guesswork, and explains everything in an organized and factual manner that sheds light on the most time- and cost-efficient path you can take throughout flight school.
Whether your dream is to fly airplanes or helicopters, this comprehensive guide provides aspiring aviators with a clear and organized roadmap to earn each of their FAA pilot certificates and ratings, with step-by-step guidance from start to finish. It breaks down how flight training really works so you can make informed decisions, manage your own progress, and stay proactive and productive with your training. Becoming A Pilot arms you with the power to take control of your education, giving you the awareness and confidence to guide yourself instead of paying your instructor to tell you what's next.
Inside, you'll learn:
· What each certificate and rating is and what they allow you to do
· Critical first steps to take before starting training
· What to look for in a flight school and your future instructors
· How to adjust your mindset for success, increase your situational awareness, and avoid common pitfalls
· What tools and references you'll need, how to find them, and how best to use each
· The progression of flight school and how to navigate through it the right way
· What the tests are, how they're structured, and how to prepare for them
· Proven steps and strategies to save both time and money throughout your training
· And so much more!
This isn't a manual on how to fly -- it's a manual on how to succeed in flight training. You'll gain essential insights and awareness of key concepts and principles that most pilots don't discover until well into or after flight school. This knowledge helps you recognize opportunities early on and avoid looking back, wishing you had done things differently.
No shortcuts. No confusion. No wasted effort. Just a proven roadmap to earning your wings faster, smarter, and with a foundation of knowledge and habits that will last long after your training is complete.
The Value of Becoming A Pilot
The average flight instructor costs about $60 per hour. It would take an experienced instructor roughly five hours to teach all the material in Becoming A Pilot, making the face value worth approximately $300.
That doesn't include the money you'll save by applying what you learn. These savings can range from hundreds to literally thousands of dollars -- making the value of the book even greater.
But that's not all. The time you can save by using these strategies -- often weeks, months, or even years -- can help you reach your goals sooner, open up new opportunities, and accelerate your career. The value of which is truly priceless.
Knowing all that, how much would you have been willing to pay had you not already seen the price?
Every pilot started where you are now. Take the first step today -- start your journey to Becoming A Pilot and turn your dream into reality!
