Self-Help for Student PilotsFrom the company who builds, designs, and trains new pilots to fly the ICON A5, discover a realistic approach to becoming a pilot.
The FAA requires students to obtain at least 40 hours before earning a private pilot license. The average student pilot requires twice that much time.
40 Hours explains why this is and how to prevent your flight training from lingering on. Combining his experience as a private pilot, with dozens of insights from flight instructors, military pilots, airline pilots, and student pilots, Nyhart recognizes that a student's passion needs a path and a proven coach.
Providing the historical events that helped shape flight training and a humanistic approach as to what makes a student pilot safe and ultimately successful, 40 Hours can make flight training feel tailored to you. Readers will empower their self-confidence, maximize their time and effort, while looking out for their pocketbook.
