| Advice to aspiring pilots: |
| Always avoid the \"easy\" way. Choose the right way to do everything. From the decision of fly today or not, do I use a checklist, is this safe...always choose the right way |
| Problems encounterd along the way: |
Always. But it\'s always the same problem. I have consistantly had expectations that are too high regarding the \"product\" I have paid for. The product I am referring to is generally the instructors, most do not INSTRUCT and therefore you have to rely on the books to do so, which is rarely easy.
