But it doesn’t come without its share of anxiety, including receiving and complying with a taxi clearance. For many pilots, there’s a level of nervousness when calling up ground control.

Make the most of your flight lesson by asking questions. This is going to help you as a flight training learner to retain the material, and it’s going to make your instructor a better CFI. When you ask clarifying questions, it deepens your understanding and helps build that important foundation for your training. Asking questions will also help your CFI know how to provide a higher level of service and instruction. We’ll discuss the topic of asking questions and cover other situations when questioning is beneficial.   https://www.flymauihi.com/ https://www.thealoha360.com/   Gain the knowledge you need to pass your Private, Instrument or Commercial FAA written exam, plus “whole picture” learning that will make you a lifelong, safe aviator.

There’s something we all can agree on: flight training is expensive! On this episode we’ll share some tips how to save money before, during and after your flight training. We’ll look at decisions such as: Should I wait until I have the money saved, or pay as I go? What about accelerated training? How can flying more often save me money? We’ve witnessed learners (including ourselves) make wise decisions that saved money along the way, and also approaches that we wish we’d done differently.
