About This Podcast

Welcome future aviators! Are you living in the United States and ready to research, begin or continue the stupendous adventure that is becoming a pilot? Then you are in the right place. While this is a career-pilot centric podcast, I am here to help you achieve all of your aviation goals, whether you’re 16 or 45, looking for a flight school or starting CFII, or if you want only your private pilot license to fly GA (aka general aviation) in your own aircraft. As a pilot, there is a plethora to learn and many outlets you may use along the way, so allow me to put as much of it in one place that I can.

The beginning episodes are focused on the topic of how to get started and getting through flight school, so if you are looking for other information than that, head to some later episodes. If there is any topic you would specifically like covered, send me an email to [email protected].

You can, also, listen to these episodes using any platform where you listen to your podcasts, and you can find the video versions of these podcasts by clicking this link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCea-ZadSYN2QJMKTkwHv0HQ
