Teenage Pilot

Written by a teenage pilot for the teenager seeking his or her Pilot's License, this one-of-a-kind guide is loaded with tips and advice for teenagers looking to learn how to fly. This book will explain what it really takes to attain a private pilot's license as a teenager or young adult and covers everything from how to pay for it, to how to deal with parents who oppose flying.

To put it simply, I wrote this guide because I am a teenage pilot and I would like to share all that I have learned throughout the process of learning to fly as a teenager with other teenagers or young adults who have the desire to learn how to fly. This guide will not explain how to land an airplane, nor will it explain weather, maneuvers, or the rules of flight; there are numerous publications out there that were written by experienced pilots, aviation experts, and flight instructors—all of which I am not—that will explain all that there is to know about flying. Before I began training, I had all kinds of questions that were specific to my age, so I rarely could find the answers because the vast majority of pilots did not begin flying at such a young age. I wrote this guide to provide to others what did not exist when I began flying. Within this guide, I share the advantages, disadvantages, tips, and any other information that I can think of that may pertain specifically to a teenager learning or wanting to learn how to fly an airplane.
