Becoming a pilot or pursuing an aviation career can be incredibly rewarding.
It can also be expensive, time-consuming, medically restrictive, and unforgiving if you discover too late that it isn’t the right fit.
​
This free live Zoom series is designed to help students and families pause, ask better questions, and make informed decisions before committing significant time, money, and identity to a single path.
