Welcome to the Advancing Pilot Podcast!
This is the podcast for aspiring Commercial pilots and flight instructors — or anyone interested in becoming a safer, more capable, and more confident pilot. Our goal is to help fill in the knowledge gaps that often exist between required training and real-world flying.
Before we begin, a quick reminder:
The ideas discussed here are not a substitute for training with a qualified flight instructor. Use them as a starting point for discussion with your CFI.
