The Pilot's Manual Private Pilot Syllabus |
|
Based on The Pilot’s Manual series. This syllabus presents the most integrated and comprehensive flight training program available, along with many advantages. Schools, instructors, or students can choose to supplement the program with other texts, videos, etc. allowing freedom to teach or learn the material in the most effective way—on an individual basis. All Part 141 requirements have been met in a logical and user-friendly manner, and flight lessons are presented side-by-side with their coordinating ground lessons. This integrated approach provides the most efficient path to completion, and is easier to follow than separate ground and flight training programs.

ASA Marketing Director, Brian Snider, Takes a Seaplane Ride |
|
What a privilege it was to fly with author (Mountain, Canyon, and Backcountry Flying), professor, friend, and certified flight instructor of the year, Dr. Amy Hoover. This past spring, she told me floats were being put on her American Champion Scout BCGC and that she would take me for a ride when summer rolled around. That time came a couple weeks ago when she called and asked if I wanted to fly up to Stehekin, WA and have some breakfast. "Absolutely!" I said. "Never been in a floatplane. Never been to Stehekin. Let's do it!"
You can only get to Stehekin a few ways, most commonly by boat, on foot, or in something like a seaplane! The views were amazing, we took a bike ride to breakfast, and if you have never done it before, landing and taking off on water is a lot of fun!
Here are some pictures from the adventure. Enjoy!
