Keeping a Realistic and Positive Outlook In a Cyclical Industry. Welcome to the inspirational, informational, and transparent aviation careers podcast.

Is Your Airport Aviation Friendly? As many of you know we recently moved to Lakeland, Florida. The move has been a tremendous boost to our business and to this podcast. We really love being in Lakeland and close to the many aviation venues and events in Central Florida.
Since I am between airplanes I decided to try and find somewhere local where I can hang out, rent planes, join a flying club or simply hanger fly. The logical place to start is the airport with a runway only a 2 miles from my house. Walking out my front door, I looked skyward as the drone of an airplane became louder then flew by towards my destination for the day. This is when I got excited.
Memories danced through my head of my childhood local airport. Perched next to the runway, my fingers entwined in the chain linked fence, I looked in awe of at the flying machines. Similar to this day at the airport my fingers clenched the chain link fence, but in a disappointed and somewhat desperate grip. I had discovered I moved next to an airport that was not what I envisioned as a general aviation friendly airport.
Maybe I was expecting too much. Maybe I should have done more research. Maybe I needed to find a new friendlier Airport. But that led me to thinking about my dilemma and I thought I would ask our co hosts and you if I am being too tough on my local airport. Also what is a general aviation airport?
Financing Flight Training, Advantage of A Master’s Degree. Welcome to the inspirational, informational, and transparent aviation careers podcast. Today we answer your questions with Robert Guyer as co host. Remember to send us your questions at feedback@aviationcareeerspodcast.com.
Teaching Skills or Creating Aviators? While reading an aviation magazine I read a statement from the editor that “Flight training is great for teaching skills, but it’s terrible for making pilots”. This started a thought process in my head and made me realize that in many cases he was correct.
Today we discuss how we can better prepare ourselves for the real world of flying while also accepting the fact your pilot certificate is truly a license to learn. Remember a good pilot is always learning.

Preparing prior at home:

Coming home can be a huge distraction so be aware
Talking with kids so they understand how long you’ll be gone etc.
Talking with yourself to mentally prepare
Make sure your travel arrangements to training are set up

Do you think it’s worth the buy-in price vs renting from the flight school?
Do you think I am too old to go to aviation school?
