All too often I get student pilots that succumb to self doubt. That is, not believing they can make it through flight training or that they don't have what it takes.

Discuss the self doubt we all face The CFI Perspective on Student Progress What to do with that self doubt If you're going through self doubt of your own, you for sure need to listen to this episode.

They say "build your time" and "pay your dues". But in aviation, is it worth giving EVERYTHING up for that ultimate dream? Or are there limits to the insanity we should put ourselves through? In this podcast we will discuss: The typical path followed in an aviation career The Good part of growing in a career The bad or dark side of building time, hours, and experience Is everything really everything, and nothing else matters? What a successful and meaningful aviation career SHOULD look like This is wisdom that I feel a lot of aviators should know before getting into a difficult job or an untenable situation.

For some, aviation is a religion. Not sure that's good or bad, but it is what it is. There is something spiritual about flying, so it makes sense. I came up with 10 Aviation Commandments, most of them fairly 'serious' and spot on. They're mostly safety-related, but many are related to growing and improving as an aviator. Without spoiling too much, they are... THOU SHALT BE SAFE THOU SHALT AVIATE, NAVIGATE, COMMUNICATE — IN ORDER THOU SHALT FIGHT HAZARDOUS ATTITUDES THOU SHALT STRIVE FOR PROFESSIONALISM THOU SHALT PAY IT FORWARD THOU SHALT BE A FOREVER STUDENT THOU SHALT HAVE FUN ALONG THE WAY THOU SHALT CHOOSE A GOOD SCHOOL & INSTRUCTOR THOU SHALT NOT GET DISCOURAGED THOU SHALT MAKE A PILGRIMAGE TO AIRVENTURE Come join for this podcast and enjoy some good insight.
Flight training is a load of fun if you're lined up with the right instructor and school. But even then, eventually it'll get difficult. Not because it isn't fun, but because it's a lot of work. That's why you need to be committed to "The Grind". In this podcast we will: Discover how making up your mind is the most important step And by doing what it takes, you'll have the personal determination to get there But then you've gotta take it one step at a time… Then, the real work starts. The GRIND. when things get tough, the tough get going. — STAY DETERMINED AND FOCUSED.
