Behind every student is a dream they've been carrying their whole life.

For most of your students, learning to fly is something they've wanted since they were a kid. You're the person standing between them and that dream.

It's that time of year again. πŸ›©οΈ Every summer we point the nose toward one little field in Wisconsin and make the pilgrimage to AirVenture.

This year I flew from Alaska to Tampa just to launch north with friends β€” Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, then formation out of Indiana, and past Chicago where the whole world opens up. Peak aviator.

The hard part is the Fisk Arrival β€” hundreds of airplanes funneling into one field, single file, waiting for the controllers to call "rock your wings." My buddies and I flew it high and tight together. It only works when everyone communicates and listens well. So enjoy the journey β€” but stay sharp the whole way in.

My Bose A30 kept every call crystal clear from Alaska to Wisconsin. 🎧

Fly safe, Throttle On! See you at AirVenture. ✈️

This was a fun one! We passed a McDonald's in New Zealand and had to stop. Not JUST for the fries, but also for the "flys".

There's a Douglas DC-3 parked at the one in Taupō, and you can walk up the stairs and eat inside it. That's all it took.

Here's the part that got me.

This airplane came off the line in Long Beach in October 1943. It flew in the Pacific during WWII. It hauled passengers around New Zealand. Then it spent roughly 12 years as a topdresser, dumping fertilizer over Kiwi hill country.

When it shut down for the last time in 1984, the logbook read 56,282 hours!!!! It still wears its old rego, ZK-CAW.

An airplane that worked that hard usually ends up as beer cans. This one ended up with a playground beside it and our kids running around under the wing while we ate a snack.

Family of five, one van, and a detour I'd take again tomorrow. ✈️🍟

What airplane would you want parked at your local McDonald's?

Sometimes the most effective teaching isn't coaching. It's demonstrating.

Ten more coaching sessions might not do what one clean demonstration can.

A flight plan every morning means workflow speed really matters.

My students and I have been flying a lot of IFR cross-countries lately β€” a new flight plan every single morning.

Garmin Pilot's redesigned Flights view has made that noticeably faster. One screen now holds the route and waypoints, the alternate, altitude selection with real winds aloft, the cruise setting, weight & balance, and fuel β€” with distance, fuel burn, headwind, ETE, and ETA summarized at the top.

Brief it and file it right there, and the plan is waiting with ATC when you pick up your IFR clearance.

Plan, brief, file, fly β€” one view.

Don't give them five corrections. Give them the one that fixes the other four.

Find the root cause. Address it. Let the other things fix themselves.

Your hands say more than your words ever will.

When you grip the controls, your student feels it. When you let go β€” truly let go β€” they feel that too.

Silence in the cockpit isn't absence. It's confidence.

When you're quiet and your student is flying well, that silence says: "I trust you."

The written test isn't the hard part. Knowing where to start is.

A thousand questions in front of you, no map, no idea what to study first. So most people do the only thing that feels like progress β€” they cram. Memorize, dump, and hope it holds till test day. Then the gaps show up later, in the oral or in the airplane.

We built the Written Test Center to end the cramming:

- Set your test date and the plan builds itself β€” one card waiting every time you open it, and the reason it's today.
- Every question taught four layers deep, not just answered: why it's right, why the wrong answers trap you, why it matters in the airplane, and the one thing to remember.
- An honest mastery map that only turns green when you've actually got it.
- Timed, PSI-style mock exams, so by test day nothing on that screen surprises you.

And it covers all 7 FAA tests β€” Sport, Private, Instrument, Commercial, CFI, CFII, and FOI. Pick your rating, we've got the test.

It's free to start β€” no card, just sign in. FAA figures, your Flight Plan with your real Day-One-Ready score, and a full Discovery Flight diagnostic, free forever. Full Access is $9.99/mo, or included with any AOA ground school.

The best thing you can do for your student is get out of the way.

Progressively step back. Let them fly. Let them build the confidence that only comes from actually doing it.
