North Carolina's Piedmont flight training has taken delivery of the first five Pipistrel Alpha Trainers for an aggressive upgrade of their flight training operations.
With a pilot shortage at a historic high, Piedmont Flight Training is fulfilling the need to attract and train future aviators with exceptional instruction and outstanding aircraft. And, the Pipistrel is the perfect aircraft with its cutting-edge technology. Just because you may be sheltering at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, you can still sharpen your flying skills. To help, Rod Machado is offering an eLearning course "The Art of Takeoffs And Landings" ... a series of videos lasting just under 8 hours. "Every flight starts with a takeoff and ends with a landing, yet many pilots lack the fundamentals to do them consistently because they weren’t properly taught, or they haven’t practiced enough to be proficient," Machado said in his news release. Experts from the financial world think that when the virus threat diminishes, we’re going to experience a strong recovery in a number of industries,,, aviation amongst them. So... we’ll still need motivated student pilots willing to
spend serious money and time to get certified and (eventually) put to work. The Sebring Flight Academy, using Bristell flight training aircraft, has come up with a brilliant plan to get students pilots to a point of being working pilots in near record time and at a greatly reduced cost.
