but not learner. I’ve been helping an older CFI renew her certificate using the AOPA CFI Renewal Course and I thought it was amusing how many different ways they refer to pilots receiving training. If you need to renew your CFI this course is much better than Sporty’s although the quizzes are...

Does anyone have any experience with Melbourne Flight Academy in Florida? I'm considering their accelerated training. Thanks!

Does anyone have experience with L3Harris School in Sanford Florida? I'm considering their accelerated pilot program. They seem quite "pro" and have a large fleet, but I'm hoping to get some actual feedback from previous students (who haven't been "incentivized") to do so. Thanks!

Looking for any advice / tips / thoughts anyone might have. I am a private pilot and currently work a full time (50-60 hour) job in an unrelated field but have always wanted to pursue a career in professional flying. For years, it was more of just a “hey, that would be really cool” idea in my...

I was just looking through both the PHAK and AFH and did not see any sections explicitly about unusual attitude recoveries. What materials, preferably FAA provided, do people use when teaching this to students?

I am a laid off airline pilot based in Canada and ex flight instructor and have decided to put my free time to a good use. I have put together a website to provide aviation career advice and flight training articles for aviation students and enthusiasts. To check it out please visit...
