As a flight instructor not everyone you will be working with are student pilots.

Today we discuss the experience and endorsements required to train an established helicopter flight instructor for their single-engine airplane add-on.

Learning to be an effective flight instructor is hard enough for most people as it is. Add to that all the regulatory requirements and record keeping you have to do and it can become overwhelming for many people!

Today we discuss the endorsements needed to get a student pilot from "zero to hero".

In aviation, communication is critical for safety. Being sloppy with our words can have unintended consequences that can lead to accidents and incidents. So it's imperative we are always using the right words to refer to the right things at the right times. When it comes to the difference between a pilot certificate and a pilot rating, we may not be talking about life and death, but nonetheless we should not only know the difference between the two, but we should be using these terms properly in everyday conversation.
