Orson Welles said, “There are only two emotions in a plane: Boredom and terror.” Now, those are pretty extreme, but we’re going to talk about the reality of the emotions you may have to face when you decide to take up flight training. Thanks for joining us!

You’ve heard us say many times on the podcast that some of the best things about aviation are the people, community and networking. Maybe you’re considering learning how to fly or you might be a student pilot and you’re wondering, “How can I meet fellow pilots and get involved in the flying community?” Today we’ll share about some of the aviation organizations out there and the benefits of becoming a member.

Small business startups are not for the faint of heart. There are issues of time and financial sacrifices to consider. In the middle of full time church ministry and running a local construction business, we found ourselves walking down the road of starting up a flight school and aviation maintenance business. Many people asked how we got into this seemingly random industry, and today we’re going to tell our aviation business story and the rewards and challenges that we’ve experienced along the way.

Staying current and staying proficient… It can be a little confusing, especially to students and new pilots. Currency and proficiency are different, but at the same time they have similarities and complement each other. On today’s episode we’ll outline what the FAA requires to be a legal, current pilot in command. Then we’ll talk about what it means to us to not only be a legal pilot, but to be a proficient pilot. Getting current and becoming proficient are two things we’ve experienced in the last several months here in Hawaii.

Some pilots would venture to say that the FAA knowledge test for the instrument rating is the most difficult of all pilot exams. We don’t know if that’s true, but preparing and taking the instrument written test was definitely “next level” compared to the private pilot test. On today’s episode we’re going to share what motivated us to pull up the boot straps, get focused, study, and knock out the exam this past month. We realize each person’s study methods and learning process is different. But we hope sharing our journey will give you some helpful ideas, or at least encourage you to set some goals if you’re in the same phase of training that we are.

FAA Knowledge Tests, or commonly known as “written tests,” are a way of life for pilots with each certificate sought. Preparing for the knowledge test was a huge part of our training as private pilots. In reality, ground school and studying for the knowledge test and the oral portion of the practical test comprises more than half of your flight training as a private pilot.

 

With the new Airman Certification Standards, the days of passing the test based on rote memorization are over.  New, scenario-based questions are being added to the database of test questions in attempt to draw from the student pilot’s knowledge and implementation of that knowledge in real-life scenarios.  And believe us, you’ll be glad you didn’t rely on memorization when it comes time for the oral exam at your check ride.
