Episode Notes

In this episode of Flying With a Purpose, we answer our first listener email. Joe is a student pilot currently pursuing his private pilot certificate, and he wonders if the pace of his flight training is too fast.

While certain tasks need to be learned early in flight training, like basic aircraft control and proper handling of emergency procedures, Derek suggests that some experiential-based flight instruction might help during the cross-country phase of the training. A cross-country flight to a location the pilot will typically fly to on their own once they are a certificated private pilot might help to slow the pace and make the training more relevant to the long-term mission.

We owe a huge thanks to Joe for sending us an email, and we hope we have answered the question effectively.
