How to save money on your flight training!
Students are always looking for ways to get more out of their flight training. Here are some suggestions.
- Keep your flight instructor happy. Show up on time and prepared.
- Study. A lot. Then study some more.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Sleep at the right times.
- Stay focused. Eat, sleep, and breath flying.
- Stay on a plan.
- Don’t switch instructors on a whim.
- Every now and then fly with a different instructor to get a different opinion.
- Ask questions.
- Get involved. Hang out at the airport
- Fly as a passenger with other pilots.
- Over prepare. Overtrain. Don’t seek the easy way.
- Visualize the next lesson. Go over your trouble areas.
- Talk to the mechanics. Ask questions.
