Immersive Training: NY to LA [part 2/8]

When you’re learning how to fly, all experience matters. Imagine being a student pilot, taking off into real weather and flying solely by reference to instruments for over an hour. It’s a lot at first and not even required to become a private pilot, but we believe there is only upside. Not only is it an awesome experience but it actually demystifies a ton of uncertainties in a new pilot’s mind and is a major confidence booster. And it’s all done with total safety in mind — your instructor (as always) is fully prepared to take over if needed, but also perfectly content letting you figure it out, while helping guide on the nuances.
