Thinking about learning to fly but not sure where to start? In this episode of Fly the Transition, we dive into the pros and cons of the top flight training options: renting, flying clubs, flight schools, partnerships, and even sole ownership.

I share my personal story of navigating these choices, with detailed cost breakdowns and practical advice to help you decide what’s best for your aviation journey.

Whether you’re a brand-new student pilot or exploring ways to reduce costs, this episode has the tips you need to get in the air. Tune in and discover which option fits your flying goals and budget!
