Monthly Newsletter - April 2020
Greetings!

You may be familiar with a bit of folklore that goes "if March comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb". While the origin of this proverb has more to do with weather patterns, the same can't be said about the unprecedented times we live in as we all learn to cope with social distancing and aggressive personal sanitation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

To that end, Savannah Aviation has been taking the lead to ensure our resources are free from contamination by wiping down aircraft after each flight. Even our Private Pilot Ground School in cooperation with Savannah Technical College has gone to a virtual format to ensure students stay safe while they prepare for their written exam.

Regardless of the current circumstances, we at Savannah Aviation encourage all of you to stay the course and continue your aviation journey by earning your ratings and building hours.  Despite what you see happening now, it will not last and life will eventually get back to normal so don't waste the time you have to get that much closer to achieving your aspirations to be a pilot.
Congratulations to all our successful March 2020

Advice from Hayden Carroll
Flight Instructor, Savannah Aviation
"As a flight instructor, I deal with a wide variety of student pilots who either come fully prepared or have a less than focused attitude towards flying. These students give me the most concern because it seems they rely on me to bail them out of questionable situations when in reality my job is to evaluate them on the various tasks they've learned throughout flight training. Aviation is a fun but potentially dangerous hobby for the pilot who does not stay focused throughout all phases of flight.

During the Pandemic, Prospective Pilots Advised to "Stay the Course"

We're sure a lot of you have heard how COVID-19 is now taking a toll on the airline industry with multiple carriers either scaling back or ceasing operations completely.  For those of you who remember life in the weeks, months, and even years after 9/11, the aviation industry saw a similar draw down in hiring new pilots but over time, the economy bounced back and aviation careers quite literally began to soar.
