We will discuss the different approaches (pun intended) to obtaining your pilot certificate, time lines, safety practices and procedures, mitigating risk during training, setting personal minimums, finding a school or independent instructor, average cost, should you buy a plane for training and leaseback, and much more!
Michele and Matt will both be available for questions during and after the event.
