One of the things that I look forward to the most, about this site, is the Ask the Expert Q&A section.
This is where you, the reader, get to ask a question(s) and I'll answer it to the best of my abilities, even if I have to go somewhere else to find the answer.
Have you always wanted to learn how to fly? When did your dream start? What influenced you or inspired you to want to fly? Did you accomplish your dream or are you still working at it? Did you find it easier or harder than you expected? Did you learn to fly in spite of adversity? Have you tips to share that would benefit other visitors who are learning to fly? How did it feel on your first flight? How did learning to fly change your life? Share Your experiences here.
See below for the questions asked already. If you don't see a Q&A that you are looking for then my all means ask away.
Do you have a question about how to learn to fly, or about flight schools in general? I will try to answer questions within a day or two and your answer will be posted. You will receive an email when the question has been answered.
Do you have a great question to ask about learning to fly, or flight schools in general, or even the aviation industry? Then by all means Ask The Expert!
