At the August meeting about the AOPA Student Retention Initiative , a CFI in the audience suggested replacing a real airplane, the most expensive line of the flight training bill, with a simulator. Not totally, mind you, but enough to get students started...

AOPA FTSRI Offers Hope for GA’s Future

Given its more than half century of tradition unimpeded by progress, I’ve always been cynical about the future of general aviation and its life’s blood, the flight training industry that educates new pilots. Then I attended the next-to-last regional meeting...

Who Knew: 60-Month Student Pilot Ticket?

Am I the only one who missed the news in July 2010 that the FAA nearly doubled the life of a student pilot certificate (and the third-class medical certificate) for those 40 and younger, from 36 months to 60 months? This discovery came with a question...

Savvy Flight Instructor Now Flies a Kindle

Not long ago I received an e-mail from Greg Brown , one of the many friends made during my time at Flight Training magazine (and Greg, the 2000 CFI of the Year, still writes his popular “Flying Carpet” column for it.) It was a short note to let me know...

Women & Aviation: Still No Real Change

As part of the conversation on the AOPA survey on why students drop out of aviation, we got an e-mail from Dr. Penny Rafferty Hamilton, Ph.D. She had recently completed a two-year research project that led to Teaching Women to Fly , which shares the results...

Becoming a Pilot: Is it a Relevant Choice?

Is it karma that led NPR to broadcast a story on the dwindling number of student pilots in June? It reported an FAA estimate that this year’s number of student pilot certificates would total less than 60,000, a “10 year low.” If you remember, June 1989...
