“Real Life General Aviation Training” is an article I wrote, which appeared in the January/February issue of Mentor magazine. Mentor is the official publication of the National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI). My aim with this piece was to highlight the importance of flight instructors teaching beyond the Practical Test Standards (PTS).

Essentially, the flying a pilot does after earning their wings is different from the flying they did while learning, so it’s vitally important CFI’s discuss some of the things that new pilots may encounter… Check out the article as it appeared in Mentor…

I hope that you enjoyed the article and hopefully Iw as able to highlight something you found valuable!
