Aspiring Aviator Portal

 

WELCOME! This is your portal to a new world of personal flying.  If you’ve been thinking about learning to fly for recreation and/or your personal and business mobility needs, or if you started taking flying lessons but dropped out, you’ve come to right place. The Center For Airmanship Excellence (CFAE) calls this new world Personal Flying 2.0.

You can learn about Personal Flying 2.0 very quickly by following Flight Plan 1 below.  The entire flight will last approximately 33-minutes.  Your time at each waypoint will average a little over 6-minutes.  You can cover all five waypoints in one visit, or you can come back to the flight plan at any time. This is a small investment of your time for a potential return that can save you countless travel hours, provide you with much more enjoyable travel and even save your life.

Flight Plan 2 touches on the same topics that are covered in Flight Plan 1, but they are presented in a “White Paper” format. This flight plan is for those aspiring aviators who prefer to get their information from reading rather than watching a video. The White Papers also offer a few more details about the topics than are presented in the videos. When you reach your Flight Plan 2 destination, you’ll be offered the chance to qualify to proceed to Flight Plan 3 by completing a short test of your Personal Flying 2.0 knowledge.

FP3

Flight Plan 3 goes into Personal Flying 2.0 in much more detail.  At each waypoint in the flight plan, you’ll find an in-depth video briefing.  When you reach your Flight Plan 3 destination, you’ll be offered the chance to apply to participate in a Personal Flying 2.0 Airmanship Development Support Organization.

Each waypoint in your personal flight plans will open a window for you on a topic that is directly related to learning to fly and using private airplanes for your business and personal mobility needs. It is suggested that you follow the flight plans by visiting each of the waypoints in sequence.
