Flying Skills – Increase Your Knowledge, Increase Your Safety

As pilots, we all love to talk about flying and share information with other pilots. And if there’s an opportunity to convert a normal person into a pilot, we’ll jump at the chance. So if you’re a pilot or someone thinking you might want to learn to fly, this website is here to help. Flying Skills offers practical and useful information for aviation enthusiasts and pilots of all stages. This is a virtual flying community focused on helping you increase your knowledge.

Flying Stories: The best way to learn is from your own experiences. But you can also learn just as much from the experiences of others. If you have a flying story you would like to share, tell me about it on the Contact Us page and I’ll post it so others can learn from your experiences. For me, I learn something new every single time I fly, which is why I love it so much. Check out some great Flying Stories and enjoy some good virtual hangar flyin’.

Pilot Certificate Info: As I go through each pilot certificate, I’ll try to make sure you know everything so that there are no surprises. I hate surprises, especially the type that affect the already squeamish bank account that funds the flying. So I’ll try to give you an idea of the typical private pilot license cost, as well as the typical costs for all the other certificates you can think of. It’s also good to know what’s coming up in your flight training so you’ll have a really good idea of where you’re at and how far you have to go.

Checkride Tips: The final step of earning your private pilot certificate, or any pilot certificate is the checkride. What could be better than checkride tips straight from those who’ve already been through the checkride? Checkride day is always a bit tense and you want to be as prepared as possible to impress that checkride examiner. So, check out the Checkride Tips page and get prepared!

Aircraft Purchase: Thinking about buying a plane? There are some things you should know that aren’t intuitive. Check out the Aircraft Purchase tips and learn the easy way…from the experience of others. There’s a lot to think about when purchasing a plane, don’t miss anything.

Aviation Resources: This is a list of my favorite aviation resource I use on a daily basis for all of my flying needs.

There’s no doubt flying is fun and this virtual flying community is a great way to share the fun with others.
