Welcome to the Part Time Pilot Audio Ground School Podcast! This podcast is going to be all about providing student pilots with ANOTHER way that they can consume the Private Pilot curriculum. The #1 reason student pilots never end up becoming a private pilot is NOT due to money. The real reason is actually deeper than that. Yes, flight training is expensive. But every student pilot knows this and budgets for it when they decide to do it. The actual #1 reason a student pilot fails is because they do not have a good, fundamental understanding of the private pilot knowledge they are meant to learn in ground school. You see when a student does not have a good grasp of this knowledge they get to a point in their flight training where their mind just can't keep up. They start making mistakes and having to redo lessons. And THAT is when it starts getting too expensive. This audio ground school is meant for the modern day student pilot... aka the part time student pilot. Let's face it, the majority of us have full time responsibilities on top of flight training. Whether it is a job, kids, family, school, etc. we all keep ourselves busy with the things that are important to us. And with today's economy we have to maintain that job just to pay for the training. The modern day student pilot is busy, on the go and always trying to find time throughout his or her day to stay up on their studies. The audio ground school allows them to consume high quality content while walking, running, working out, sitting in traffic, traveling, or even just a break from the boring FAR/AIM or ground school lecture. Did I meant high quality content? The audio ground school is taken straight out of the 5-star rated Part Time Pilot Online Ground School that has had over 350 students take and pass their Private Pilot exams without a SINGLE STUDENT FAILING. We do this by keeping ground school engaging, fun, light and consumable. We have written lessons, videos, audio lessons, live video lessons, community chats, quizzes, practice tests, flash cards, study guides, eBooks and much more. Part Time Pilot was created to be a breath of fresh air for student pilots. To be that flight training provider that looks out for them and their needs. So that is just what we are doing with this podcast.   Episode 24: In this episode I talk about Pilot Reports or PIREPs and why they are important pieces of information for general aviation. I also tell you how to read a PIREP! Then, I get into the AviationWeather.gov GFA tool to discuss graphical area forecasts and all the great info you can get from them!   Links mentioned in the episode: Ultimate Private Pilot Test Prep Book: https://amzn.to/3CQsapD Online Ground School: https://parttimepilot.com/private-pilot-online-ground-school/?utm_source=podcast Aviation Weather: https://aviationweather.gov/ Free How to Become a Pilot & Save Money course: https://parttimepilot.com/free-how-to-become-a-pilot/   Aviation Headsets Discount: Part Time Pilot Students & Listeners can now receive 10% off & Free Shipping on Kore Aviation Headsets using the coupon code 'parttimepilot' : https://www.koreheadset.com/discount/parttimepilot

With the relatively crowded EFB space, you might wonder how a lesser known company can compete with the big guys.  That was the problem facing Bryan Heitman, founder of  Aerovie (Aerovie.com).  Aerovie was established based on its ability to enter PIREP's electronically and directly into the national airspace system.  What was missing from other solutions was an ability to get a diverse weather picture during the preflight phase.  That's where Bryan found his way to differentiate.  Listen and find out how you can get a SimpleFlight discount for this great app. Marc and Al also talked with him about his journey into aviation and the path ahead of him.  A great conversation and one we know you will enjoy. As always, thank you for listening.  Wishing you Blue Skies and Strong Tailwinds.

This week you'll hear an example of a PIREP being issued in flight. Review the importance of this essential communication line between aviators. Please enjoy The Finer Points! Fly Your Best, Jason
