Aviation brings added value, meaning and fun to our daily lives.
The flight training industry has and always will be dynamic versus static.
Flight training in America continues to build and evolve as people elect to begin their flight training pathways. However, some things almost never change.
People want to become pilots for many reasons. A career pathway on the flight deck is always one of the top reasons why people start to fly. But it is not the only reason.
Understanding a persons "Why" is where it all begins. Their "Why" becomes foundational
and it helps paint a clear picture for their motivation and goal(s).
It is perfectly OK to want to learn to fly for personal, self accomplishment or that bucket list item. Flying is both fun and serious.
Every human being has the same amount of time each day. What we do with our time is a personal matter and can make all the difference in the world with respect to how we approach our daily lives.
Time is like a river. You can not touch the same water twice because the flow that has passed by will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of your life.
Inviting people to come to your flight school to learn about flight and aviation is a big first step. Getting people out to the airport is a gateway entry point to the aviation industry.
While "Learn to Fly Month" is May of each year, why not conduct a monthly
"Open House". Cold drinks, coffee or tea plus some snacks are a great way to break the ice and warmly welcome people to your school.
America is blessed to have a wonderful group of flight training providers and all of us need to continue to welcome newcomers and encourage them to learn about flight and the many opportunities that are part of the aviation and aerospace industry.
