The information in this book mostly applies to flight training in the United States, following regulations set by the FAA. However, flight training in most countries
follow a similar pattern, so you can still benefit from reading this book even if you’re planning to do your training in another country.
Whether you want to earn your private pilot certificate, become a corporate pilot, or become a captain in a major airline – this book is for you.
Did you know you could become a commercial pilot, or even a flight instructor, at the age of 18 with less than 12 months of training?
Right now is an excellent time to become a pilot because there is a global pilot shortage that is expected to last for the next two decades or longer. Boeing estimates that there will be a worldwide demand for 763,000 pilots between 2020 and 2037. This estimate takes into account the temporary industry downturn caused by COVID-19. That’s a lot of pilots!
Flight training is fast-paced, fun, and exciting. Why not get started now?
