By now, perhaps you have had a chance to realize you received a new version of AvBrief in your inbox on Thursday morning, and maybe you’re wondering what it’s all about. Actually, I hope you are, because that curiosity means you’re reading what we send you—the highest honor we could achieve.
Clicking through on any of the stories will take you to the Training Aviator landing page, our repository for all things training, from aspiring to take your first discovery flight, to pursuing the certificates and ratings that will take you to your goals, professional or otherwise.
Actually, the higher honor you can grant us would be to forward the email you received, or a relevant story from within, on to a person you know wants to fly or has started lessons. Or struggles with a plateau in their training. Or craves more knowledge than the FAA manuals and YouTube tutorials can supply.
Or they need real, accurate, informed intelligence to look to instead of those YT vids. OK, we have our own channel too, but we guarantee the same quality of content and production as you see on our site.
We not only have the news from Oshkosh focused on training, but an entire year’s worth of stories and commentary we’ve curated under the #FlightTraining tag—more than 200 in all—that you can draw from on all manner of topics, from how piston engines work to flight planning for an instrument cross country.
We made the effort to create the Training Aviator because we care deeply about bringing folks into the fold and ensuring they have a bridge that connects them to the industry that they can trust. At AvBrief in general, and for me specifically, flight training has formed a persistent core of my being for more than 30 years, and the joy I’ve had helping others learn to fly—and learning much more about myself and the magic of flight in the process—is something I have to share.
So welcome to The Big Share. And if you are already a pilot, please pass this along to someone who isn’t yet, but has that same spark inside that just needs a little help across the bridge.
Congratulations! What a great addition to AvBrief.
Julie, (and Russ!) this is awesome! Already sent it on to a young lady we have met who is working on her flight training in hopes that it helps her!
This is a fantastic addition to your portfolio; thanks to the AVBrief team for being a strong voice and great resource for all pilots.
