Episode Transcript
Hello, fellow aviators. Welcome to another Motivation Monday. In Motivation Monday, I answer your flight training and aviation career questions and anything else you’re going through or need to know or need help on in your journey to becoming a pilot and an aviator. So feel free to jump into this particular episode here. See the questions that I answered this week. However, on Sunday nights and Monday mornings go to Instagram and enter your questions in there because I will answer them live on the air and then post them here. So just trying to help you guys out in the community. And so I’ll see you inside. Let’s go and answer some questions that you guys have.
Do you offer private pilot instrument and commercial flight training? And when can I start?
So I actually do have a flight school here in Alaska. It used to be called Aviator Training but it’s just Angle of Attack. So if you’re ever in town, if you’re ever visiting Alaska, I’m open for business. I take people up and fly on the mountains, and you can do a little mountain flying course. Or if you are looking for different flight training, then I can offer certain things at my school. It’s basically just me in a 172, but I have a lot of fun and get to do a lot of great things here in a beautiful area. So if that’s ever anything you’re looking forward to and maybe you want to find a place to train elsewhere, then I do real flight training.
Like me coming on this live here. It’s one thing to be someone that talks online and does all that stuff. I have an online ground school and I share a lot of stuff online. But I always want to be someone that’s doing the real thing because I feel like that’s going to help everything else. So I don’t want to just talk about flying. I actually want to be out there doing it.
