otherFlight training is to be fun and enjoyable from getting your private pilot to ATP, being a pilot is something that is special and should not be taken for granted. I try to establish a friendly and enjoyable environment for the student and work together as a TEAM to get to the goal of the student, either it be to learn to just solo to obtaining that private pilot certificate.
